Quran /9- Repentance AL TAWBA Madinite /

Introduction

Dissolution of the Truce Contract:
When a treaty is Concluded between two parties and one of them violates it at will, then the other party is no longer under any obligation. But the Surah emphasizes Islamic manners with respect to a period of four months notice following denunciation of the treaty. The Calendar introduced by Allah is described here: It divides the year into twelve lunar months, Four of them are sacred, three of which are consecutive and one at mid year:
the 11th month; Zul - Qa'da - no war,
the 12th month; Zul- Hajja month of pilgrimage, Major
the 1St month; Muharram; returning home
mid year Rajab – Minor pilgrimage
The Surah was revealed in three stages, before, during and after the Tabuk Campaign and was expressed in six parts:
1) The position held with respect to the idolaters on account of the violation of their treaties.
2) The final position to be held with respect to Ahl AL-Kitab (the People of the Book) at large.
3) The Muslims who preferred to cling heavily to the ground and did not join the Messenger in his expedition.
4) Exposure of the hypocrites and their intrigues before, during and following the Tabuk expedition.
5) Classification of the Muslim community Into categories.
6) The obligations of the Madinites and the desert Arabs toward the Messenger.
Apart from this magnificent portrayal of facts and events, the Surah includes many aspects related to modes of life, rules of behaviour, Conditions of society and other aspects all of which have been expressed In the usual unique style of- the Quranic Revelation. In their endeavour to suppress the new faith the Pagans of Arabia at the time often had recourse to stratagems to obtain an advantage. Any peace they concluded with the Muslims was in effect a bargain rather than a treaty. To make the best of adverse circumstances, they often made the best of a bad bargain. Consequently Allah pronounces His decision as well as His ultimatum, thus:
