Surah At-Tawbah Ayat 2 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

2. There were treaties and agreements between the MUSLIMS and the idolators of Arabia. But besides the Bani Hamzah and Bani Kananal all other infidels had broken these agreements. As a result Muslims were ordered to give these infidels four months notice to review these agreements carefully or be ready to defend themselves. Within this period they would have to accept Islam or take up swords. This Surah was revealed in ninth Hijri, a year after the conquest of Makkah. During the Hajj of the same year Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique and Hazrat Alli Murtaza (May Allah be pleased with them) were sent to Makkah Muazzamah to announce about this Surah and declare to the infidels that as from the following year the polytheists are forbidden from performing Hajj none would be allowed to perform Tawaaf ,

that after four years the period of this declaration would terminate. Therafter either the infidels accept Islam or arms would be taken up against them. From this is understood no poll tax (JIZYAH) is acceptable from these infidels: they should either accept Islam or face the swords of the believers.

The respite of four months from the tenth of Zil-Haj (the date of the proclamation) to the tenth of Rabi-uththani was granted to give time to the mushriks so that they should consider their position carefully and decide whether to make preparation for war or to emigrate from the country or to accept Islam.
