Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the wisdom behind the absence of the basmalah in Surat al-Tawbah?

Answer:
Because it was not revealed before it; it was not revealed before it. Every surah was revealed with "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" before it, except for Surat al-Tawbah, which was not revealed before the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
