Many Muslims recite specific Surah of Quran daily for certain purpose but carrying a Quran or Surah everywhere is a difficult task. Therefore, we have designed this Attractive app for the ease of people who want to recite Surah daily.Surah Taubah also commonly spelt At-Tawbah.The surah titled in English means “The Repentance”.Period of RevelationThis Surah was revealed in the 9th year of Hijrah in three different discourses. The first discourse (vv. 1-37) was revealed in Zil-Qadah and set a new policy towardsthe mushrikin. The second discourse (vv. 38-72) was revealed in Rajab and dealt with the Campaign of Tabuk. The third discourse (vv. 73-129) was revealed upon the Prophets return from the Campaign of Tabuk. There are some pieces in this discourse that were sent down on different occasions during the same period and were afterwards consolidated by the Prophet into the Surah in accordance with the inspiration from Allah.Major Issues, Divine Laws and Guidance:> Policy towards the mushrikin.> Commandments relating to participation in Jihad.> Regulations relating to hypocrisy, weak faith, and negligence.> Campaign of Tabuk.> Establishment of a Dar-ul-Islam (an Islamic state).> Extending the influence of Islam to adjoining countries.ThemeNow that the administration of the whole of Arabia had come into the hands of the believers, and all the opposing powers had become helpless, it was necessary to make a clear declaration of the policy which was to be adopted to make this newly formed Islamic state a perfect Dar-ul-Islam. In order to accomplish this objective, the following measures were taken:> A declaration was made that all the treaties with the mushrikin were abolished, and the Muslims would be released from the treaty obligations with them after the expiration of four months notice.> A decree was issued that the guardianship of the Kabah should be taken away from the mushrikin and placed permanently in the hands of the believers (vv. 12-18), that all the customs and practices relating to the era of "ignorance" should be abolished, and that the mushrikin should not be allowed in the vicinity of the Kabah(v. 28). A decree was issued to crush the non-Muslim powers and force them to accept the sovereignty of the Islamic State. The object of Jihad was not to coerce them to accept Islam, as they were free to accept or not accept it. The object was to allow them the freedom to remain misguided, if they chose to be so, provided that they paid Jizya, the protection tax (v. 29), as a sign of their subjugation to the Islamic State.> To ensure the stability of the Islamic State, gangs of the hypocrites who were being tolerated in spite of their flagrant crimes, were crushed. The Muslims were enjoined to treat them openly as disbelievers (v. 73). Accordingly, the Prophet set on fire the house of Swailim, were the hypocrites used to gather for consultations in order to dissuade the people from joining the expedition of Tabuk. When the Prophet returned from Tabuk, he ordered pulled down and burned, the "masjid," which was being used by the hypocrites as a place for hatching plots against the true believers.
