📖 Surah At-Tawbah (9:93 – 10:109)
Juz 11 concludes Surah At-Tawbah and moves into Surah Yunus, shifting from warnings against hypocrisy to discussions on divine mercy and guidance. The core theme of this Juz is the contrast between true believers and hypocrites, and the reminder that Allah’s mercy is always near for those who sincerely repent.
The final verses of Surah At-Tawbah continue exposing the Munafiqoon (hypocrites)—those who falsely claimed to support Islam but secretly worked against it. Their excuses for avoiding struggle in the cause of Allah are dismissed, and their true intentions are revealed (9:93–96). The surah praises those who sincerely repented and reaffirms that Allah always accepts sincere repentance (9:102–106).
As Surah Yunus begins, the tone shifts to one of hope and reflection on Allah’s signs in the universe. The surah reassures believers that even when times are difficult, Allah’s guidance is always present. It calls people to reflect on nature, history, and revelation to recognize the truth (10:5–6).
One of the most striking parts of this Juz is the story of Prophet Yunus (AS)—who, after initially leaving his people, was swallowed by a whale and later forgiven when he repented sincerely (10:98). His story serves as a lesson in patience, humility, and trust in Allah’s mercy.
