Question:
He also asks: What is the wisdom behind the absence of the basmalah in Surat al-Tawbah?
Answer:
Allah knows best, but some scholars say that it completes Surat al-Anfal; because their subject matter is the same, namely jihad and fighting. And some scholars say that it was not revealed between them, it was not revealed between al-Anfal and al-Tawbah, so it is not written. As for the rest of the surahs, they were revealed between every two surahs. Yes.
