A Review of Chapter “Repentance”
Chapter Tawbah (Repentance)
– Surah – 9)
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
Surah ‘TAWBAH
(Repentance) – Chapter – 9) ended on the last dignified verse, and
along with it, Second Stage of Holy Qur’aan also ended. Next Surah
Yuunus (Jonah) begins with Third Stage (Manzil). There is
a dire need of understanding nowadays and getting through the subjects of Surah
Tawbah (Repentance). We should think “What can we learn from it?”
This Chapter describes us such
Principles of Islamic Politics, which should be adopted in this worldly life.
The Blessed Book i.e. Holy Qur’aan used to cause to know the
Principles of welfare and goodness to the humankind for thirteen years in Makkah.
If the human beings of that duration would have accepted those Principles, then
the Muslims would not have created a separate community, but the entire human
beings would be only one nation. They all would have lived altogether with
peace and safety in the world. And there would be opportunity of getting
comfortable life after death easily for every such person; who had believed in
the Hereafter, he would have reaped benefits from the blessings of this world
along with others without apprehension.
But sorry to say, it was not
so. Therefore, as soon as the Muslims reached Madinah, they were
instructed: Organize yourselves separately. And they were also commanded: Blow
in return for blow (tit for tat). However, as far as possible, do good with
others, do not give up mutual harmony and alliance in any condition.
This method of their internal
arrangement has been taught to the Muslims that they should consider the
guidance of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) as
fastening and binding of their lives. It was good fortune of the human beings
that a Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was sent unto them
who was very beneficent, clement, and condoler Person for all. Whatever He says
to you, is according to the Spirit of Holy Qur’aan.
There are three kinds of people
before you. Treat them in accord with the behavior they deserve:
1. The Infidels These are the people who
will fight you openly, and if possible, they will try to ruin you. You should
be ready every time to face them. Unless they understand that Islam has come in
the world to exist, opposing it will be cause of spreading disturbance and
mischief in the world, and they reach the consequence that they should live
with it in peace and alliance, whether they accept Islam or otherwise, but it
is necessary for peace and safety of the world to compromise with it for
dwelling. You should not begin fighting against anyone at first. However, who
fights you, is rebellious. So you should fight against him until he becomes
ready to make peace with you.
2. The Hypocrites These are hidden enemies
and will be known by their signs. You should remain cautious from their side,
and fall not into their scheming.
3.
The
Muslims are your brothers. Treat them with mutual help, kindness
and sympathy. These all guidelines exist in this Chapter (Surah).
Therefore it should be recited again and again with understanding.
