9.37. Postponement (of a sacred month) is only an excess of disbelief whereby those who disbelieve are misled, they allow it one year and forbid it (another) year, that they may make up the number of the months which Allah hath hallowed, so that they allow that which Allah hath forbidden. The evil of their deeds is made fair-seeming unto them. Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk. (Pickthall)
9.37. Das Aufschieben ist ja Hinzufügung zur Gottesverweigerung, womit diejenigen fehlgehen, die den Glauben verweigern. Sie gestatten es ein Jahr und verwehren es ein Jahr, damit sie die Anzahl übereinstimmend machen mit dem. was Allah heilig gemacht hat, also gestatten sie, was Allah verwehrt hat. Schön gemacht ist für sie das Schlechte ihrer Taten, und Allah leitet nicht das Volk der Glaubensverweigerer recht. (Ahmad v. Denffer)
9.37. Das Verschieben eines Monats ist nur eine Mehrung des Unglaubens. Damit werden diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, in die Irre geführt; sie erklären ihn in einem Jahr für ungeschützt und in einem (anderen) Jahr für geschützt, um der Anzahl dessen gleichzukommen, was Allah für geschützt erklärt hat; so erklären sie für ungeschützt, was Allah für geschützt erklärt hat. Ihre bösen Taten sind ihnen ausgeschmückt worden. Allah leitet das ungläubige Volk nicht recht. (Bubenheim)
9.37. Die Verschiebung eines heiligen Monats ist ein ?bermaß an Unglauben. Dadurch verfehlen die Ungläubigen den rechten Weg Gottes. In einem Jahr erklären sie den einen Monat für heilig und in einem anderen für nicht heilig, damit sie der Zahl der von Gott bestimmten heiligen Monate entsprechen. So erklären sie für nicht heilig, was Gott für heilig erklärt hat. Ihre üblen Taten scheinen ihnen gut und schön. Gott leitet die Ungläubigen nicht zum rechten Pfad. (Azhar)
9.37. Das Verschieben (eines Haram-Monats) ist eine Steigerung von Kufr. Damit werden diejenigen irregeleitet, die Kufr betrieben haben. Sie erklären ihn in einem Jahr für einen Nicht-Haram-Monat und in einem anderen Jahr für einen Haram-Monat, um der Anzahl der von ALLAH festgelegten Haram-Monate zu entsprechen und dann für halal zu erklären, was ALLAH für haram erklärte. Ihnen wurde das Schlechte ihrer Handlungen als schön dargeboten. ALLAH leitet die Kafir-Leute nicht recht. (Zaidan)
9.37. Die Verschiebung (der Kalenderordnung durch einen Schaltmonat) ist ein Übermaß an Unglauben. Diejenigen, die (an sich schon) ungläubig sind, werden dadurch (noch mehr) irregeführt. Sie erklären ihn in einem Jahr für profan, in einem anderen für heilig, um der Zahl dessen, was Allah (an Monaten) für heilig erklärt hat, gleichzukommen (und nicht etwa fünf Monate für heilig zu erklären), und (um andererseits) für profan zu erklären, was Allah für heilig erklärt hat. Das Böse, das sie tun, zeigt sich ihnen im schönsten Licht. Allah leitet das Volk der Ungläubigen nicht recht. (Paret)
9.37. Das Verschieben (eines heiligen Monats) ist nur eine Steigerung des Unglaubens. Die Ungläubigen werden dadurch irregeführt. Sie erlauben es in einem Jahr und verbieten es in einem anderen Jahr, damit sie eine Übereinstimmung in der Anzahl (der Monate) erreichen, die Allah heilig gemacht hat, und so erlauben sie das, was Allah verwehrt hat. Das Böse ihrer Taten wird ihnen schön vor Augen geführt. Doch Allah weist dem ungläubigen Volk nicht den Weg. (Rasul)
Tafsir von Maududi für die Ayaat 36 bis 37
The fact is that the number of months ordained by Allah has been twelve since the time He created the heavens and the earth, ( 34 ) and out of these four are forbidden months: this is the right code of reckoning: therefore do not wrong yourselves by violating these months. ( 35 ) And fight against the mushriks all together even as they fight against you all together: ( 36 ) and note it well that Allah is with the Godfearing people. Nasi is but one more instance of disbelief, whereby these disbelievers are led astray. In one year they make a certain month lawful and in another year they make the same a forbidden month, so as they might make up for the number of the forbidden months and, at the same time, make lawful that which is forbidden by Allah. ( 37 ) Their evil deeds have been made seeming fair to them: for Allah does not guide those who deny the Truth.
Desc No: 34 This means that ever since Allah created the sun, the moon and the earth, the new moon takes place only once in a month; thus the year has always been of twelve months. This has been mentioned to refute the practice of nasi (v. 37) whereby the pagan Arabs increased the number of the months of a year to 13 or 14 to enable them to interpose in the calendar the forbidden month which had been made lawful by them. (For fuller explanation see E.N. 37).
Desc No: 35 "....do not wrong yourselves ....": "Do not let go waste the good things for which fighting has been made unlawful during these months by creating disorder in them that will ultimately be harmful to you also" . The four forbidden months are . . Zil-Q`adah, Zil-Hajjah and Muharram for Haj and Rajab for ' Umrah.
Desc No: 36 That is, ¦If the mushriks do not desist from fighting during these months, you should also fight them and present a united front against them, just as they put up a united front against you". This verse has been explained by v. 194 of Al-Baqarah.
Desc No: 37 The pagan Arabs practised s. (nasi) in two ways. Whenever it suited them, they would declare a prohibited month to be an ordinary month in which fighting, robbery and murder in retaliation were lawful for them. Then they would declare an ordinary month to be a prohibited month instead of this month in order to make up for the deficiency caused in the number of the prohibited months. The other way of nasi was the addition of a month in order to harmonize the lunar with the solar year so that the Haj should always fall in the same season and they should be saved from the botheration and inconveniences that are experienced by its observance according to the lunar year. In this way Haj was observed for 36 years on dates other than the actual dates. Then in the thirty seventh year it was again observed on the 9th and 10th of Zil-Hajjah, as they should have actually fallen according to the lunar calendar. It so happened that on the occasion when the Holy Prophet performed Hajja-tul-Wida'a (his Last Haj). these dates by rotation coincided with the actual dates of Haj according to the lunar calendar. So he declared during the course of his historic address at `Arafat: "This year the dates of Haj have again occurred exactly at their natural and proper time after a long period of circulation. " Accordingly, since that `Last Haj' of A.H. 9, it is being observed up to this day according to the correct dates of the lunar year. By making nasi unlawful and forbidding it, the Law declared that the two objects for which it was practised were also sinful. First, they not only made lawful what Allah had made unlawful but also tried to practise deception on Allah by the seeming observance of the Law. As regards the second object of making the season of Haj fixed permanently according to the solar calendar, this too, was in fact the worst kind of rebellion against the Divine Law, although it appeared to be a harmless thing done for public good. But it defeated the very object of the Divine Law which prescribed the lunar calendar instead of the solar calendar for the observance of obligatory duties. Allah did this to ensure many good things for the Muslims, one of which is that His servants should be so trained as to obey His Commandments at all times of the year and under all circumstances. For instance, the month of Ramadan circulates among all the seasons of the year and the Muslims get used to obeying His Commandments whether it be summer or winter, dry or rainy season. This gives them that excellent moral training which is the real object of all the obligatory duties imposed by the Divine Law. Likewise, the dates of Haj according to the lunar calendar, fall during different seasons: therefore the servants of Allah have to travel during all the seasons, favourable and unfavourable. Thus they come out successful in the Divine test under all the circumstances and learn to be steadfast in their obedience. It is obvious that such a training will stand them in good stead in many other fields in which one has to fight the battle of the Truth. Now it would have become quite clear why nasi was made unlawful and forbidden. It was designed to fix the season of Haj in order to suit their own conveniences though it defeated the Divine purpose of Haj and of the forbidden months. It meant that they had rebelled against Allah and become independent of Him; this is kufr. Besides this, Islam is a universal religion and for all human beings. It is obvious that the periods of fasting and performing Haj cannot satisfy all if they be fixed in accordance with the months of the solar year. For if they are performed in fixed months according to the solar year, the one and the same month will not equally suit all for the simple reason that it will fall during the same seasons in different places-summer or winter or very hot or very cold or rainy or dry or harvesting or sowing-year after year. In this connection it may also be kept in view that the proclamation about the prohibition of "nasi " was made on the occasion of Haj in A. H . 9 and next year,the Haj was performed on right dates which were in accordance with the lunar year. Since that time Haj is being performed according to exact dates. "
