At-Tawbah • Ayah 37 of 129 • Anglo-Saxon English


إِنَّمَا النَّسِيءُ زِيَادَةٌ فِي الْكُفْرِ ۖ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُحِلُّونَهُ عَامًا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَامًا لِيُوَاطِئُوا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فَيُحِلُّوا مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ ۚ زُيِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ أَعْمَالِهِمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ 37
Translation:
Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year, in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith. At-Tawbah 9:37 ⧉
Tafsir:
The Arabs derived two advantages from this method of transposition (nasi’)—one was the diverting of the Hajj season to suit commercial requirements and the other was that if fighting against an enemy had to be started in forbidden months (i.e. Muharram, Rajab, Dhu’l-Qa‘dah and Dhu’l-Hijjah), replacing a haram month by a non-haram month legitimised the opening of hostilities. Abraham’s method had formerly been the backbone of Arab tradition, but since the Arabs’ thinking was dominated by commercial considerations and tribal requirements, the nasi’ method found favour with them and they adopted it in their affairs.
