Abstract

Surat ‘Atawba’ is the lost teaching for humanities. It was descended before completing the Holy Quran and the death of the prophet Mohammad (peace and blessing be upon him). Although the surah included series threatening to the unbelievers and hypocrites and urging the believers to defend their religion, but it kept the door of repentance open for all people. This surah called people for the repentance several times. Its context was precisely arranged since it started with the threatening and urging the believers to defend their religion besides revealing the hypocrites, then the subject of repentance , then the threatening followed by the repentance. Even the believers were asked to declare their repentance since it talked about sins then it opened the door of repentance. The repentance in this surah was mentioned in twelve situations.
