Surah At-Tawbah Ayat 11 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

23. This means one should regard Salaah and Zakaat as obligatory and carry them out properly and regularly eg establish Salaah as an institution of action and belief. (Tafseer Roohul Bayuan) 

24. From these few issues are gleaned 

1. Brotherhood refers to the global Islamic brotherhood National and communal brotherhood is temporary and limited. 

2 .A Muslim is a brother of his fellow Muslim but not of the Prophet as understood from "your brother".

 3. The blood of a Muslim is forbidden to shed for another Muslim as he is your brother.

25. From this verse emerges two issues 

1. An Alim a learned man is he who views and ponders over the details of the verse Without this he will not be considered a learned man, even though he may be well versed in the other branches of knowledge

2. The knowledge of the QUR'AAN and Hadith is obligatory upon the learned, while obedience to the learned is obligatory upon the common people. If the ignorant begins to deduce and extract laws from the QUR'AAN and Hadith then Religion itself will become an object of mockery. You will obtain polished pearls from the jewellery shop and not from the sea.

Ala-Maududi

(9:11) But if they repent and establish Prayer and give Zakah they are your brothers in faith. Thus do We expound Our revelations to those who know.[14]


14. Here too, it has explicitly been stated that those who repent will not become your brethren in faith without the observance of Salat and Zakat.

“Then they are your brothers in religion”: This means that if they fulfill those conditions, then not only shall their lives and properties become unlawful for you but also they shall enjoy equal rights with you in the Islamic community. There shall be no distinction between them and the other Muslims in regard to social, cultural, legal and political rights, and nothing will stand in their way to the progress for which they are otherwise qualified.

(11) But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakāh, then they are your brothers in religion; and We detail the verses for a people who know.
