The Quran para 11 يَعْتَذِرُونَ

This chapter consists of three parts: the remaining portion of Surah At-Tawbah, the complete Surah Yunus and the first five verse of surah Hud. Para 11 opens with surah Taubah and comprises the concluding 36 verses of Surat at-Tawbah.

The latter part of Surat at-Tawbah, that were revealed in the Holy City of Medina have two names for It:AT-TAUBAH and AL-BARA’AT. It is called AT-TAUBAH because it defines the meaning of taubah (repentance) and outlines the requirements for acceptance of taubah. The next surah of juz 11 is surah Yunus. In the opening verse of surah yunus, an invitation is extended to those who find it unique that Allah’s message is conveyed through a human being, namely Prophet Muhammad. Some implicate him of magic but in reality, his message is simply about two fundamental truths.

1. Allah, the Creator of the universe, is the only rightful deity to be worshipped.
2. There is an afterlife where everyone will be held accountable for their actions in this world.

These truths are absolute, regardless of acceptance. Accepting them leads to blessings, while denial results in adverse consequences.

The Significance of Seeking Forgiveness

In para 11 the last two Ayats of Surah Tawbah  (ayat 128-129) are important reminders of how important it is to ask Allah for forgiveness. It is one of the most potent and important passage. It serves as a reminder of Allah’s grace and abundance as well as a proclamation of His forgiveness and mercy for the Muslims. The verses further emphasize the need to follow the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ١٢٨فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ١٢٩

Story of Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him)

The incident of Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him) has two aspects:

1. The incident of being swallowed by a fish, detailed in Surah As-Saffat.
2. The repentance and seeking forgiveness of his people in his absence, mentioned in Surah Yunus.

Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him) became hopeless when his people refused to believe. And he was certain of the imminent punishment of Allah. He left the city of Nineveh and boarded a ship. However, as the ship sailed, it began to sink due to the disobedience of its crew. Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him) jumped into the sea, where he was swallowed by a large fish. Allah kept him safe and alive inside the belly of the fish. After a few days, the fish vomited him onto the shore. There, he found that his people, had all left their homes and were fervently repenting and seeking forgiveness from Allah. Due to their sincere repentance, Allah’s punishment was averted from them. Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him) returned to them, and they embraced faith.
