37. Surely, their postponement of the sacred months is nothing but an increase in disbelief [96], by which those who disbelieve are led astray [97]. They make it lawful one year [98], and forbid it in another [99], to adjust the count of the months that Allah has made sacred [100], thus permitting what Allah has forbidden. Their evil deeds have been made attractive [101] to them. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people [102].

38. O believers! What has happened to you that when it is said to you [103], "Go forth in the way of Allah," you cling heavily to the earth [104]? Have you chosen the life of this world over the Hereafter? But the enjoyment of this worldly life is insignificant compared to the Hereafter [105].

40. If you do not help him, then indeed Allah has already helped him when those who disbelieved drove him out, the second of two [109], when they were in the Cave [110]. When he said to his companion [112]: "Do not grieve; indeed, Allah is with us" [114]. Then Allah sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with forces you did not see [116], and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest [117]. And the word of Allah is the highest [118]. And Allah is Mighty, Wise.

Known as "The Immunity," Surah At-Tawbah is the 9th chapter of the Glorious Quran. It contains 129 ayat (verses) and was revealed in Medina after the Prophet (ﷺ) migrated there. This surah consists of two juz (parts). Verses 1 through 92 are in the 10th juz, and verses 93 to 129 are in the 11th juz.

This surah continues from the previous one, as it begins by calling an end to the numerous peace treaties broken by the pagans. The believers are encouraged to join the Prophet (ﷺ) in marching to Tabuk for battle during the summer of 9 A.H. / 631 C.E., and hypocrites—who make spurious excuses—are uncovered and refuted. Muslims are reminded of Allah's protection at the Battle of Uhud, when their defeat turned into a successful victory, as well as how He shielded His Messenger (ﷺ) during his journey to Medina. Throughout this surah, Allah's tolerance for repentance is continually emphasized, hence its title.
