In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 1-6, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses the significance of the Surah’s revelation, highlighting its declaration of disavowal towards idolators and the end of their peace treaties with the Muslims. The verses outline that idolators who had agreements with the Muslims were given a four-month grace period, after which they were to be confronted unless they repented and embraced Islam. Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan also explains the reason behind the absence of Bismillah at the beginning of this Surah and the critical message it carries regarding the purification of the Ḥajj rituals, including the prohibition on idolators performing Tawāf or Ḥajj. This lesson provides an in-depth reflection on the importance of upholding peace treaties, the call for repentance, and the necessity of implementing the pillars of Islam for the peace and safety of the Muslim community.
