In this episode, Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi examines Surah At-Tawbah, a powerful and uncompromising chapter that calls for sincere repentance (Tawbah), warns against hypocrisy, and emphasizes the need for unwavering commitment to faith. Unlike other Surahs, this chapter begins without Bismillah, symbolizing its stern tone in addressing the consequences of betrayal, insincerity, and neglect of divine duties. Revealed in Madinah, it discusses the final stance against polytheism, the rules of Jihad, and the importance of fulfilling covenants.
