In this lesson of Sūrah at-Tawbah, verses 73-78, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ commands the Prophet ﷺ to strive against the disbelievers and hypocrites, warning that their ultimate destination is Hellfire. The verses expose the deceit of the hypocrites, who outwardly profess faith but secretly conspire against Islam. Among their treacherous acts was a failed assassination attempt against the Prophet ﷺ, highlighting the extent of their enmity. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ also condemns those who made false oaths and insincere promises, particularly regarding wealth. Some hypocrites pledged to give charity if granted wealth, yet when Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestowed upon them, they became miserly and turned away. As a result, Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ sealed their hearts with hypocrisy due to their betrayal. These verses serve as a stark warning against insincerity, breaking covenants with Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and prioritising worldly gains over faith.
