Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance), Al-Quran recited by Qari Mishary Rashid Alafasy

Описание: Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance), the 9th chapter of the Quran with 129 verses, is a crucial Madinan surah revealed near the end of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life, primarily addressing the Expedition of Tabuk, the termination of treaties with polytheists, and the distinction between true faith and hypocrisy.

Key Themes and Description:

Bara'ah (Disavowal/Ultimatum): Known as Al-Bara'ah, the surah opens by declaring an end to treaties with polytheists who broke their agreements, giving them a four-month grace period.

The Expedition of Tabuk: It was revealed during the difficult campaign against the Byzantine Empire, highlighting the importance of jihad (struggle) and exposing the hypocrisy of those who made excuses to avoid fighting.

Hypocrisy and Sincerity: The surah intensely discusses the hypocrites (Munafiqun), their betrayal, and their tendency to lie, while praising the sincere believers.

Repentance (Tawbah): Despite its stern tone, the surah emphasizes Allah's forgiveness for those who truly repent, including the three companions who were forgiven after staying behind, serving as a lesson in true repentance.

Key Topics: It covers the sanctity of treaties, regulations for war, the proper management of the Hajj, the duty of Zakat, and warnings against love for this world over the hereafter.

Other Aspects:

No Basmala: It is the only Surah in the Quran that does not begin with Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful), as it starts with a declaration of war/disavowal.

Alternative Names: Often called Surah Bara'ah (The Release/Ultimatum) or At-Tawbah (The Repentance)
