📖 Commentary of Surah At-Tawbah – Verse 10

"They do not regard any relationship or covenant with a believer. And those are the transgressors [22]."

✅ 22 Those Who Disregard Bonds and Promote Misguidance

This verse emphasizes the ruthlessness of the disbelievers who broke their treaties and showed no respect for kinship or agreement when dealing with believers. Their behavior—motivated by worldly greed and a desire to distort truth—includes:

  • Altering Divine verses for personal gain,

  • Obstructing others from the Straight Path,

  • Harassing and harming believers,

  • And displaying complete disregard for familial or ethical ties.

These actions mark them as transgressors—those who have crossed the limits set by Allah.

This verse also serves as a moral warning:
Anyone who misleads others, discourages good deeds, or advises sinful behavior falls under this condemnation. Included among such acts is the unjust prevention of virtuous gatherings like Mawlid (Meelad Shareef), Khatm-e-Khawajgaan, and other spiritual assemblies done for the sake of Allah. Blocking such efforts out of ignorance or prejudice is also considered a form of deviation from the Path of Allah.
