The summary /theme of the Surah At-Tawbah: 

Tawbah, which means repentance, is the 9th surah of the Quran with 129 verses revealed in Medina. It is also called Bara'at, meaning repudiation, because the very first word announces the Prophet's (S) repudiation of those who do not believe. 

Lesson learned from Surah At-Tawbah:

  1. Honour your treaties.  
  2. Populating masjids is a sign of Īmān  
  3. If close family members prefer disbelief over Īmān, relationships with them shouldn’t be deep-rooted.[1]  
  4. We have been warned to await severe punishment if there is anything that is more beloved to us than Allāh, His Messenger ﷺ and striving in their path.  
  5. Numbers don’t matter to Allāh; it’s all about quality.  
  6. The enemies of Islām will continue trying to extinguish the Light of Allāh, but Allāh insists that His Light will remain luminous, despite their dislike.  
  7. The punishment for those who hoard wealth and don’t give Zakāh is severe. Their bodies shall be branded with their wealth in Jahannam.  
  8. Hypocrites will take oaths upon oaths to prove their innocence, but they will never stick to them.  
  9. Mocking Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ is an act of disbelief.  
  10. Ṣadaqah is a means of purity [of wealth and soul].  
  11. Don’t ask for the forgiveness of a person who has obviously died in disbelief.  
  12. Keep the company of the pious.  
  13. There is immense reward in striving in the Path of Allāh.  
  14. Seeking knowledge and teaching the Dīn is extremely important. Even if there is a mass call to arms, a group is to stay behind and seek knowledge, to teach those that go out when they return.  
  15. The Prophet ﷺ was very caring towards the Muslims. He would be grieved upon everything that caused the Muslims difficulty, whilst always wishing well for them and showing immense love and mercy towards them.

Known as The Immunity, Surah At-Tawba is the 9th (chapter) of The Glorious Quran. It has 129 ayat (verses) and was revealed in Medina after the Prophet migrated to Medina. This surah consists of two juz/para. Verses 1 through 92 are in the 10th juz and verses 93 to 129 are in the 11th juz.

This sûrah follows on from the previous one, as it begins by calling an end to the numerous peace treaties broken by the pagans. The believers are encouraged to join the Prophet ( ﷺ ) in marching to Tabûk for battle during the summer of 9 A.H./631 C.E., and hypocrites – who make spurious excuses – are uncovered and refuted. Muslims are brought back to remembrance of Allāh's protection at the Battle of Ḥunain, when their defeat changed into a successful victory, in addition to how He shielded His Messenger ( ﷺ ) during his journey to Medina. Through this sûrah, Allāh's tolerance for repentance is continually relayed; hence its title.
