Quran Chapter 4-94
(Pt-5, Stg-1) (L-584) - درس قرآن
Care in homicide during Jihad
Suratun-Nisaaa’ (The Women) – Chapter – 4)
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
94. O ye who believe!
When ye go forth (to fight) in the Way of Allah, be careful to discriminate,
and say not unto one who offereth you peace: “Thou art not a believer”,
seeking the chance profits of this life (so that ye may despoil him). With
Allah are plenteous spoils. Even thus (as he now is) were ye before; but
Allah hath since then been gracious unto you; therefore take care to
discriminate. Surely Allah is Aware of what ye do.

Commentary
Zarab-tum – (you go forth), this word is from zaraba, one meaning of which is ‘to
beat’, and it has also other meanings which are ‘to move, to travel’. In this
verse, it aims these (second) meanings.
‘Alqaaa – (offering), it means
‘to put an offer, to say about any matter before someone for his conciliation
or making him to understand, to throw anything towards any person’.
‘Araza – (chance profits,
wealth and goods), here it signifies towards common necessities of life.
Magaanimun - (the spoils), having
the mastery over the things without labor, the wealth acquired for nothing and
possession of those things, which have been snatched/taken over from the enemy
in war (Maali ganiimat).
Fata-bayyanuu – (Discriminate,
inquire, investigate), it has been derived from bayaan. Here it means ‘to
set up a judgment after necessary investigation and understanding thoroughly.
It
is commanded that ‘when you come out from your houses for fighting, then you
should do nothing without attention and investigation, and whosoever discloses
that he is a Muslim, you should not say him that he is not a Muslim considering
that he is pretending only to save his life. And you should not slay him to get
his possessing. What would you do after possession of this a little wealth? Allah Almighty
will cause to give you the wealth and equipment of your enemies in huge
quantity. There is no deficiency with Him. Stop your hand from the person at
once, who declares with any method that he is a believer. Before Islam, you
used to slay without any hesitation for getting very little things. Now you
have embraced Islam. You should be careful in each matter. None should be slain
by your hands in the greed of wealth. You have no right to kill that person who
has disclosed himself as a Muslim, blaming him that he said himself a Muslim to
save his life only. Allah Almighty knows the deeds
of all of you very well and only He can decide that who is true and who is a liar.
Therefore, you should kill only that person, about whom you are ordered to do
so. You cannot understand that whether he embraced Islam to save his life or
really he is a Believer.
