3. And a proclamation from Allah and His Messenger to
all men on the day of the Greater Pilgrimage that Allah is free from obligation
to the idolaters, and (so is) His Messenger. So, if ye repent, it will be
better for you; but if ye are averse, then know that ye cannot escape Allah.
And give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to those who disbelieve-

Commentary
‘Azaanun – (to
cause to hear by calling), this word has been derived from taaziin,
which is from ‘uzunun – as Salaam from tasliim and Kalaam from takliim. ‘Azanun means
“to hear”, it also means “hitting someone’s ear”. Taaziin means
“to cause to hear”. ‘Azaan means “a matter which is caused to
hear”. It also means “The summons to prayers, a call for prayer”. From the same
origin, a word ‘iznun has come out also, which means “the permission”,
however; it does not have any relation here.
‘Al-Hajjul-‘Akbaru – (The
Greater Pilgrimage), Hajj means “going anywhere intentionally”. There are two
kinds of Hajj (Pilgrimage); the one is Greater, for which, proper dates i.e. 8th,
9th and 10th of the month of Dhu
al-Hijjah are fixed. During these days, the entire Pilgrims gather in
the fields of Arafaat and then Minaa. And the
other Hajj is Short, which is called Umrah also. Neither any
proper date is fixed for performing Umrah and nor it is necessary
to assemble at any prescribed place.
In the earlier verses before
this one, the aim from the “mushrikiin” is those idolaters; with whom; a
treaty was made without fixing the period, that “we shall not fight each other
mutually”, and those people were included in it too; with whom, no treaty was
made. The both kinds of idolaters were caused to hear that “Freedom for you is
only for four months. Either you should embrace Islam during this period or
leave the Peninsula of Arab, otherwise you will be killed”.
In this verse, mushrikiin means
those people of Makkah and their allies, with whom a treaty
was made for ten years at the place of Hudaybiah. Although; this
treaty was broken by Qureish of Makkah, and it was the
reason that Makkah was conquered, but after one year of the
conquest of Makkah, during 9th AH, during the
occasion of yearly Hajj (Pilgrimage), which was being performed under the
supervision of Abu Bakr Siddique (May Allah be pleased with
Him), these verses of Surah Tawbah were revealed in Madinah,
and Ali (May Allah be pleased with Him) departed for Makkah with
these verses and at the nick of the occasion of assembly of yearly Hajj, it was
proclaimed: There is no appeasement with the idolaters from our side now. If
the idolaters repent and enter in Islam, then it is better for them, otherwise,
the Peninsula of Arab will be evacuated from the non-Muslims. And the idolaters
cannot render Allah Almighty helpless, and there will be a painful doom for
them.
