In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 117-121, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf highlights Allāh’s عَزَّوَجَلَّ immense mercy in forgiving the Prophet ﷺ, the Muhājireen, and the Anṣār after their moment of hesitation during the hardship of Tabūk. The verses also recount the story of the three companions who were left behind, facing deep remorse until Allāh accepted their repentance. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ then urges the believers to stand firm in truth and sacrifice, assuring them that no hardship endured in His cause, be it thirst, fatigue or facing the enemy, will go unrewarded. Even the smallest acts, such as spending in His path or stepping onto enemy territory, are recorded as righteous deeds, reaffirming that Allāh never lets the efforts of the righteous go to waste.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah (verses 112-116), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf highlights the qualities of true believers—those who repent, worship sincerely, and uphold righteousness. The verses also address the prohibition of seeking forgiveness for polytheists after their fate is made clear, as demonstrated in Prophet Ibrahim’s عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ disassociation from his father. Furthermore, Allāh عَزَّ وَجَلَّ reassures that He does not lead people astray after guiding them without first clarifying His commands. The lesson concludes with a reminder of Allāh’s absolute dominion over life and death, affirming that He alone is the ultimate Guardian and Helper.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah (verses 107-111), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the contrast between sincerity and hypocrisy in faith. These verses highlight the actions of the hypocrites who built a mosque with malicious intent—causing harm, spreading disbelief, and dividing the believers. Allāh عَزَّ وَجَلَّ commands the Prophet ﷺ to avoid it, emphasising that a mosque founded on righteousness is where true purification takes place. The passage further draws a striking analogy between a firm foundation built on piety and one destined for destruction, warning of the consequences of insincerity. The lesson concludes with Allāh’s powerful declaration: He has purchased the lives and wealth of the believers in exchange for Paradise—a transaction of ultimate success.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 100-106, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the distinction between the righteous and the hypocrites. The verses praise the Muhājirūn and Anṣār, as well as those who follow them in righteousness, highlighting Allāh’s pleasure with them and their eternal reward in Jannah. In contrast, the hypocrites—both from the Bedouins and the people of Madīnah—are condemned for their persistent deception, facing punishment in both this life and the Hereafter. The lesson also covers the repentance of some who mixed good deeds with sin, with hope for Allāh’s mercy, and the role of charity in purification. Finally, the verses emphasise that all actions will be brought to account before Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the Messenger ﷺ, and the believers.https://youtu.be/2TJKzYGvijk…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 94-99, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses how Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ exposes the insincerity of the hypocrites who remained behind from battle, making false excuses upon the Prophet’s ﷺ return. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ commands the believers not to accept their justifications, as their deceit has already been made clear. Their repeated oaths are dismissed as meaningless, for their ultimate judgment lies with Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, who knows their true intentions and will recompense them accordingly. The verses then highlight the hypocrisy of some Bedouins, who view their obligatory charity as a financial loss and secretly hope for the misfortune of the believers. In contrast, the passage also acknowledges the sincerity of other Bedouins who believe in Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the Last Day, viewing their charity as a means of nearness to Him. These individuals are promised Allāh’s mercy, forgiveness, and acceptance.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 86-93, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explained the contrast between the hypocrites who sought exemption from battle out of complacency and the sincere believers who sacrificed their wealth and lives for Allāh’s cause. The passage highlights the fate of both groups, with the hypocrites being sealed from understanding and destined for punishment, while the sincere believers are promised eternal reward in Paradise. It also clarifies that those who were genuinely unable to participate due to weakness, illness, or lack of resources were not blameworthy, but rather, their sincerity and grief for missing out were recognised by Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 79-85, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explained how Allāh rebukes the hypocrites for mocking sincere believers who give in charity, whether in abundance or with whatever little they can. Their ridicule is met with divine ridicule, sealing their fate of painful punishment. The passage further emphasises that even if the Prophet ﷺ were to seek forgiveness for them repeatedly, Allāh would never forgive them due to their persistent disbelief. The verses also expose their reluctance toward striving in Allāh’s cause, their excuses to avoid hardship, and the divine decree that they will neither join future battles nor be honoured in death with prayer or remembrance. Their wealth and children, which seem like blessings, are instead means of punishment, ensuring they depart this world in a state of disbelief.…
In this lesson of Sūrah at-Tawbah, verses 73-78, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ commands the Prophet ﷺ to strive against the disbelievers and hypocrites, warning that their ultimate destination is Hellfire. The verses expose the deceit of the hypocrites, who outwardly profess faith but secretly conspire against Islam. Among their treacherous acts was a failed assassination attempt against the Prophet ﷺ, highlighting the extent of their enmity. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ also condemns those who made false oaths and insincere promises, particularly regarding wealth. Some hypocrites pledged to give charity if granted wealth, yet when Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestowed upon them, they became miserly and turned away. As a result, Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ sealed their hearts with hypocrisy due to their betrayal. These verses serve as a stark warning against insincerity, breaking covenants with Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and prioritising worldly gains over faith.…
In this lesson of Sūrah at-Tawbah, verses 69-72, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf reflects on the fate of disbelievers, drawing parallels with previous nations who were more powerful and wealthy but ultimately perished due to their wrongdoing. He highlights the transient nature of worldly enjoyment and warns against engaging in vanities. The lesson then shifts to emphasize the bond of solidarity among believing men and women, urging them to enjoin good, forbid evil, establish prayer, give zakāh, and obey Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Messenger ﷺ. Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan concludes with the promise of eternal rewards in Paradise for the believers, with Allāh's approval being the ultimate prize.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 61-68, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses how these verses expose the deception and arrogance of the hypocrites. They mocked the Prophet ﷺ, calling him overly receptive, but Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ refutes their claim, affirming that the Prophet ﷺ listens only to what is good and beneficial. The hypocrites would swear false oaths to appease the believers, yet their true concern should have been to please Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Messenger ﷺ. When confronted, they dismissed their actions as mere jest, but Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ rejects their excuses, declaring their faith void. The lesson further highlights how the hypocrites promote wrongdoing while neglecting righteousness, ultimately severing their connection with Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ. As a result, they are cursed and destined for eternal punishment, their fate sealed by their own arrogance and betrayal of faith.…
In this lesson of Sūrah at-Tawbah, verses 55-60, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf elaborates on the deceptive nature of the hypocrites who place their trust in worldly possessions and family, oblivious to the reality of their punishment. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ reveals that their wealth and children will only be a means of torment in this life, and they will die in disbelief. The hypocrites falsely claim allegiance but are filled with fear, and they would run from the truth if they had a place to hide. The lesson also addresses their reaction to charity, where they show approval when they receive, but anger when excluded. The Prophet ﷺ is urged to remind them that contentment lies in trusting Allāh's provision. The verses conclude with a clarification of the proper recipients of zakāh, demonstrating the broader social and spiritual purpose of this obligatory charity.…
In this lesson of Sūrah at-Tawbah, verses 49-54, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses the reactions of hypocrites when faced with hardship or success. He explains how some seek to avoid responsibility by asking for permission to remain behind, but they have already fallen into trial, with Hell awaiting the disbelievers. The Shaykh highlights the hypocrisy of those who rejoice in your misfortune, while when things go well, they are distressed. The lesson underscores the importance of relying on the decree of Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ and how the true believer awaits either martyrdom or victory, unlike the hypocrites who only await punishment. Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf also reflects on the rejection of the hypocrites' charitable acts, explaining that their disbelief, laziness in prayer, and unwillingness to give prevent their actions from being accepted.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 41-48, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discussed the command for believers to strive in Allāh’s cause with their wealth and lives, regardless of difficulty, as true faith is demonstrated through action. The passage exposes the hypocrisy of those who sought to avoid sacrifice, making false excuses and swearing deceitful oaths. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ rebukes them, making clear that those who truly believe do not hesitate when called to serve. Their insincerity is further highlighted by their lack of preparation, showing that they never intended to go forth. The verses also reveal that had they joined the believers, they would have only caused confusion and spread discord. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, in His wisdom, kept them back to protect the unity and strength of the sincere.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 37-40, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discussed how the disbelievers manipulated the sacred months, altering their sanctity to suit their desires, leading to further misguidance. This deception made their evil deeds seem justified in their eyes, yet Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes it clear that such actions only increase them in disbelief. The verses then shift focus to the believers, questioning their reluctance to strive in Allāh’s cause and warning against attachment to the fleeting pleasures of this world at the cost of the Hereafter. A severe admonition follows, stating that if they fail to fulfil their duty, Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ will replace them with others, and their hesitation will not harm Him in the slightest. The lesson concludes with the profound moment of the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه in the cave during the Hijrah, where the Prophet’s ﷺ unwavering trust in Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ reassured his companion. These verses highlight divine support and the ultimate triumph of Allāh’s word.…
In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 34-36, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses Allāh’s عَزَّوَجَلَّ stern warning against corrupt religious leaders who exploit people's wealth unjustly and divert them from His path. The verses also condemn the hoarding of wealth without spending it in the way of Allāh, vividly describing the torment awaiting such individuals in the Hereafter as their hoarded gold and silver will be used to brand their bodies in Hell. Furthermore, Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ establishes the significance of twelve lunar months, highlighting four as sacred and commanding believers to uphold justice, avoid wrongdoing, and stand united against opposition, with the assurance that He is with the righteous.…
