Introduction โ€” from Tafheem-ul-Quran

Revealed when the Quraysh offered a compromise: worship our gods a year, and we worship yours a year. The answer closed the door on syncretism forever: 'I do not worship what you worship... For you is your religion, and for me is my religion' โ€” coexistence without compromise of creed.

Condensed from Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi's introduction to this surah in Tafheem-ul-Quran.
