Explanation
Surat al-Tawbah is presented as a dense text that reveals the transition from weakness to strength after the conquest of Mecca, and in it one reads the struggle over power, legitimacy, and violence. For Arkoun, it is therefore an important entry point for rethinking revelation historically and for understanding how events are transformed into religious and political symbols.
