3. Names
This Surah is known by two
names –
AT-TAUBAH –because it
enunciates the nature of
taubah (repentance) and
mentions the conditions of
its acceptance.(vv. 102. 118).
AL-BARA'AT. The second
name BARA' AT (Release) is
taken from the first word of
the Surah.
4. Omission of Bismillah
This is the only Surah of the Quran to which
Bismillah is not prefixed.
Imam Razi says this is because the Holy
Prophet himself did not dictate it at the
beginning of the Surah. Therefore the
Companions did not prefix it and their
successors followed them.,
This is a further proof of the fact that utmost
care has been taken to keep the Quran in its
complete and original form.

parts

admonishing of
those people who
do not come out for
Jihad as Allah
commanded.
8. 4- Condition and disclosure of hypocrites
Condition and disclosure of hypocrites
• Another name of Surah Taubah is Surah Al-Jaus because it
searches out and discloses the vices of the hypocrites.
• Ibn-e-Abbas (RA) says, "The verses of Surah Taubah kept
revealing and telling that such and such people include
these hypocrites till we thought, this Surah will spare none.
• Surah Taubah finally describes all about the traits of the
hypocrites, their conspiracies, their penetrating into the
Islamic society, their spreading of fear among the Muslims
and hindering the Muslims from Jihad.
9. 5- Types of people in an Islamic Society
• Types of people in an Islamic Society

10. 6- Attributes of those who
enter in a trade with Allah
(SWT)
The sixth part is purely about the description of the
attributes and temperament of the Muslims who
enter in a trade with Allah (SWT)
They offer the sacrifice of wealth and body and never
remain at the back part in fighting in the company of
the Holy Prophet
12. Verse
111
• 111.Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their
lives and their properties; for the price that theirs
shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so
they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in
truth which is binding on Him in the Taurat (Torah)
and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur‘an. And who is
truer to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the
bargain which you have concluded. That is the
supreme success .
13. Verse
112
• 112.(The believers whose lives Allah has purchased are)
those who repent to Allah (from polytheism and
hypocrisy, etc.), who worship Him, who praise Him, who
fast (or go out in Allah's Cause), who bow down (in
prayer), who prostrate themselves (in prayer), who enjoin
(people) for Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all
what Isl�m has ordained) and forbid (people) from Al-
Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds and all that
Isl�m has forbidden), and who observe the limits set by
Allah (do all that Allah has ordained and abstain from all
kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allah has forbidden).
And give glad tidings to thebelievers.
15. Nature of this trade with
Allah
Allah (SWT) is thereal owner of every thing with
man. He gave these to man as trust.
Free will and freedom of choice is given to man to act
as owner or a trustee.
Trade with Allah (SWT) means to choose to act as a
trustee and notas a owner.
In return, Allah (SWT) guaranteesJannah (Paradise)
in the hereafter.
16. Implications of this
trade.
1-Two tests:
By entering in this trade, man faces two critical tests;
a- Does he accept to be the trustee and not owner.
b- Does he surrenders his freedom to the obedience
of Allah (SWT) in lieu of the promise of Jannah in the
hereafter.
17. 2-Difference between legal
Islam and true fulfillment of
this trade accord
• Legal Islam: Declaration of Shahadah, establish
Ibadaat and other commands
• True to this trade accord:
a- Does not consider his time, money, belongings to be
his assets but those ofAllah.
b- Does not spend out of his amanah according to his
will but according to theAllah’s Will.
c- Struggles and strives utmost in the cause of Allah and
not for his personal causes and likes.
18. 3-Differentiation between
Islamic way of life and Kufr
way of life
• Islamic way of life: Muslim acts in obedience of
Allah’s commands in all aspects of his life. He may be
forgetful for a short while, but when he realizes it, he
turns to Allah.
• Kufr way of life: One acts independently of Allah’s
Will in some or all aspects of his life. One may be
labeled as a Muslim but this attitude violates the
spirit of this trade withAllah.
19. 4- This trade accord means to
submit to the Will of Allah
defined in Quran and Sunnah.
• This trade requires that one finds the true Will of
Allah in Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad
(SAW).
• Personal definitions or definitions besides thosetwo
sources are unacceptable.
• Why the reward of Jannah in Akhirah?
This trade accord can only be completed in the
Akhirah when it will be determined if man fulfilled
his part of the deal.
20. Are these promises
present in Injeel and
Taurah?
• We find few statements of Jesus (AS) in present day
gospels which are synonymous with this ayah:
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness
sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew
5:10
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his
life for my sake will find it.Matthew,10:39
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters,
or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my
name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold and inherit
eternal life. Matthew.19:29.
21. Do you find these in
Taurah?
We do not find it in the present day Old Testament
or Taurah.
Present day Taurah is not complete. It was destroyed
and then re compiled by Ezra from memoirs.
As the time passed, Jewish traditions, prejudices,
desires, superstitions, commentaries were added.
23. Tai’boon-Those who do
Taubah
Taubah means to turn back and return. True believers
turn to Allah (SWT) in repentance again and again.
If some error is made, one realizes it with remorse
and asks forgiveness.
Taubah Nasooha means sincere Taubah with firm
determination not to commit sin again.
24. Allah (SWT) accepts
Taubah
He is the One that accepts repentance from His
Servants and forgives sins: and He knows all that ye
do. 4563
26 And He listens to those who believe and do deeds
of righteousness and gives them increase of His
25. AHADITH ON
TAUBAH
1-Abdullah Ibn Masood ®reported that the Prophet
(SAW) said, “Aperson who repented from sin islike
one who did not commit sit.” ( Ibn Maja, Baihaqi)
2- Abu Huraira ®reported that the Prophet (SAW)
said, “ByAllah! I seek Allah’s forgiveness and do
Taubah more than 70 timesa day.” Bukhari
26. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
HYPOCRITE AND SINFUL
MOMIN
Momin does not look for excuses and accepts his
mistake
His past is example of sincerity, sacrifice for the
movement and dedication
His future attitude shows true remorse and struggle
to compensate for the mistake
27. Al Aabidoon – Worshiping
Alla
h (SWT) and submitting to
Him
• Ibadah consists of 3meaning:
• 1-Worship- One must worship Allah (SWT)alone,
pray to Him, be thankful to Him and bow down
before Him.
• 2-Servitude- One must serve only Allah (SWT) as his
Master and must not be a slave to any one else.
• 3- Accept as only ultimate Sovereign and Law Giver.

matters related to beliefs, worships, morals, social
issues, economy, politics, justice, peace and war.They
respect these laws.
• They limit their individual andcollective actions
within those limits.
• It also means they try to establish these rules in their
societies and protect these.
• They make all the efforts and struggle that these rules
are not violated.
34. Why were we not created with these
qualities from the start?
Quran emphasizes three essential
components of human’s
moral –spiritual evolution:
Free will,
ability to choose
Intellect,
learning from one’s choices
Struggle
35. Summar
y
When we declare Shahadah, we enter into a trade
with Allah(SWT)
Our part of the bargain involves surrendering our
lives and belongings to the Will of Allah(SWT)
In return, Allah (SWT) guarantees us Jannah in the
Akhirah.
We need to develop essential attributes to fulfill our
part of the bargain.(Taubah, Ibadah, zikr, fasting,
travelling, salaah, amar bil maroof wa nahi anil
munkar and protect Allah’srules)
