Quran 9:98~99
And among the nomads are those who consider what they donate to be a loss and await your misfortune. May ill-fortune befall them ! And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. However, among the nomadic Arabs are those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and consider what they donate as a means of coming closer to Allah and ˹receiving˺ the prayers of the Messenger. It will certainly bring them closer. Allah will admit them into His mercy. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Quran 9:98~99 Surah At-Tawbah [The Repentance]
Surah At-Tawbah is the 9th chapter of the Qur’an, containing 129 verses. It is a Medinan surah and is uniquely the only surah in the Qur’an that does not begin with the Bismillah.
وَمِنَ الۡاَعۡرَابِ مَنۡ يَّتَّخِذُ مَا يُنۡفِقُ مَغۡرَمًا وَّيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَآٮِٕرَ‌ؕ عَلَيۡهِمۡ دَآٮِٕرَةُ السَّوۡءِ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِيۡعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۹۸﴾ وَمِنَ الۡاَعۡرَابِ مَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنۡفِقُ قُرُبٰتٍ عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ وَصَلَوٰتِ الرَّسُوۡلِ‌ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّهَا قُرۡبَةٌ لَّهُمۡ‌ؕ سَيُدۡخِلُهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِىۡ رَحۡمَتِهٖ‌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ ﴿۹۹﴾
It is called At-Tawbah in light of the fact that it articulates tawbah (repentance) and informs about the conditions of its acceptance (verse 9:102, 9:118). The name Bara’at (release) is taken from the opening word of the Surah.
ان بدویوں میں ایسے ایسے لوگ موجود ہیں جو راہ خدا میں کچھ خرچ کرتے ہیں تو اسے اپنے اوپر زبردستی کی چٹی سمجھتے ہیں اور تمہارے حق میں زمانہ کی گردشوں کا انتظار کر رہے ہیں (کہ تم کسی چکر میں پھنسو تو وہ اپنی گردن سے اس نظام کی اطاعت کا قلادہ اتار پھینکیں جس میں تم نے انہیں کس دیا ہے) حالانکہ بدی کا چکر خود انہی پر مسلط ہے اور اللہ سب کچھ سنتا اور جانتا ہے ﴿۹۸﴾ اور انہی بدویوں میں کچھ لوگ ایسے بھی ہیں جو اللہ اور روز آخر پر ایمان رکھتے ہیں اور جو کچھ خرچ کرتے ہیں اُسے اللہ کے تقرب کا اور رسولؐ کی طرف سے رحمت کی دعائیں لینے کا ذریعہ بناتے ہیں ہاں! وہ ضرور ان کے لیے تقرب کا ذریعہ ہے اور اللہ ضرور ان کو اپنی رحمت میں داخل کریگا، یقیناً اللہ درگزر کرنے والا اور رحم فرمانے والا ہے ﴿۹۹﴾
Three Discourses
From opening up to the 37th ayat, the initial talk,[12] was uncovered in Zil-Qa’adah A.H. 9. As the significance of the subject of the talk required its affirmation on the event of Hajj Muhammad dispatched Ali to follow Abu Bakr, who had just left for Makkah to lead the Pilgrims to the Ka’abah. He trained Ali to convey the talk before the representatives of the various clans of Arabia in order to advise them regarding the new policy guidelines pertinent to the mushriks.
Starting from ayat 38 up to 72nd ayat the subsequent talk[13] was revealed during Rajab A.H. 9 or a little before this, when Muhammad was occupied with getting ready for the Campaign of Tabuk. The Believers were encouraged to take a dynamic part in Jihad, and the shirkers were seriously reproached for keeping down their riches and for wavering to forfeit their lives in the path for God due to their hypocrisy, powerless belief(iman) or carelessness.
The final section of ayaat 73rd to last,[14] was uncovered on his return from the Campaign of Tabuk. There are a few pieces revealed in different events during the same time frame and were incorporated by Muhammad into the Surah as per instructions from God. This talk cautions the hypocrites of their malevolent deeds and censures those Believers who had remained behind in the Campaign of Tabuk. At that point in the wake of berating them, God exculpates those genuine Believers who had not partaken in the Jihad in the Way of Allah for one explanation or the other.
