Other enemies of Islam -2

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

But many of them were inclined to fight against Muslims and to stop Islam, and they disgraced the Muslims, and by collecting their people; they excited them to attack on Muslims and finish them. Certainly, it became necessary for the Muslims to save themselves from their attack. A general order has been given in this verse for such people.

It is commanded: Fight against those people without any hesitation who pursue to destroy Islam, because Islam desires only to deliver its message of peace to the entire people of the world. It trusts in natural freedom of the human being, demand of which is that every individual must be entitled to have a claim upon choosing his own way by using own brain.

Islam teaches the same that you should believe in one God (Allah), have faith in the Day of Judgment and stop committing those acts which are forbidden by Allah Almighty. His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has explained all such matters. Which things have been prescribed as lawful and legal according to the commands of God Almighty, you should adopt them. And abstain from those matters which are unlawful.

Those people who want to prevent the public forcibly from hearing, they are human criminals and their way is wrong, because the Right Path is “the Religion of Truth”. Every human being is free in Belief and deeds, on the condition that the disturbance is not created from it and peace of public is not interfered. And everyone has freedom that he may cause to understand others easily those matters which are correct according to him. But he should neither compel any individual with force to accept that what he says, and nor make any other; his concordant by seducing or alluring of wealth and money.

Those people who do not admit the Religion of Truth i.e. this principle of freedom, they are guilty of human court. If they get ready to fight against you, then it is your duty that you should ruin them to the best of your abilities, so that tyranny, violence, oppression and every kind of interference are stopped. And if the Religion of Humanity, principles of which are Freedom of Conscience, Peace and Order, friendly intercourse, correction and rectification are not accepted anywhere, then fight against them, till the time they do not accept completely these principles.

Wherever you get success on such vicious people who quarrel with you due to stubbornness and enmity, and you have to establish an administrative empire, then you should manage the system on this principle that the rebellious people are kept under full pressure and they should be really obedient. After that, you are permitted to get cash from them as retaliation of their safety and they should live in your influence, so that peace and safety of the world is not interrupted.

It is clear that these commands are against those people who wish to remove human accepted independence and want to make and keep the people their obedient and slaves.

The Muslims are not allowed to fight against those people who did not announce their enmity against them, and being agreed to the principle of freedom, they got ready to live together with Muslims. Moreover, after living with peace and paying the tribute by them for their safety, the Muslims will be protectors of their wealth, lives and females. And if any other will attack over them, the Muslims will defend them.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

قَٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَبِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلْحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ٱلْكِتَٰبَ حَتَّىٰ يُعْطُوا۟ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَٰغِرُونَ 29 

29.  Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His Messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.

29.  Qaatilul-laziina  laa yu’-minuuna  BIllaahi  wa  laa  bil-yawmil-‘Aakhiri  wa  laa  yuharri-muuna  maa  harra-mAllaahu  wa  Rasuu-luHuu  wa  laa  yadii-nuuna  Diinal-Haqqi  minal-laziina  ‘uutul-Kitaaba  hattaa  yu’-tul-Jizyata  ‘any-yadinw-wa  hum  saagiruun.   (Section 4)

Commentary

Laa  yadii-nuuna – (they do not follow), it is the tense of the aorist which has been derived from the word “diin”. Diin means – a prescribed way, the same is origin too which means “to follow the prescribed method. From it, the word laa  yadii-nuuna has been made. Laa means “not” and yadii-nuuna means “they follow (a prescribed way)”. It aims that they do not adopt the Religion of Truth.  

Jizyatun – it is a noun and called for such wealth, by paying which a non-Muslim can live under the safety of the Muslims, and the Muslims are responsible for his protection.

When Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) proclaimed about Islam, at that time, there were generally three kinds of people in the Arab: openly Idolaters, the Jews and the Christians. Some people of them embraced Islam, whereas other all people opposed this new Religion.

God’s Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) caused to understand them: Don’t accept this Religion if you don’t desire. However, you must not try to prevent other people. But they did not accept it. At last, the Muslims were forced to make their own organization separately. They fought against their enemies and conquered them.

They were commanded: The Idolaters are very severe offenders. They are given time for four months. After that stipulated period, they should flee from the Peninsula of Arab, otherwise, wherever they will be found, will be slain. The Jews and the Christians had cooperated with the Idolaters, but comparatively they were less guilty, therefore, it was commanded: Fight them and keep them overpowered, so that they may not create any disturbance. Then if they wish to live under your collector-ship, they should live being obedient. Their lives and wealth will be protected, and no national service will be taken from them, provided; they pay the tribute in sign of dependence, which will be considered as retaliation of their safety. And their grade will be low than the Muslims’, because they also left no stone un-turned in enmity against the Believers. If they do not accept this condition then they should flee from the Arab. This command was given for the Idolaters of the Peninsula of Arab due to the Jews and the Christians.

Chasteness is Belief -2

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

It has come in Ahaadith (Sayings of the Messenger – grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) that Omar, the second Caliph (may God be pleased with him) purified and cleaned the Peninsula of Arab from the Idolaters according to a last Will and Command of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). Now, it is not lawful for the Muslims to give living permission to them in the Arab. The Sunnis (Hanafi Rules) give them some permission that, a Muslim spiritual guide can permit them to live temporarily if he considers it suitable. Other religious directors do not permit even for only it.

Next, it is commanded: If you fear that your business and commerce will take bad effect; if the Idolaters flew away, and the commodities of necessity will be deficient, then you should drive this thinking out of your hearts, because the actual thing is comfort, ease and satisfaction, and it cannot be obtained during their presence. God Almighty will make the provision of the necessities of life easy, and if He desire, will give you so much that you will become fearless from their support. Be satisfied that God Almighty knows very well about all these matters by which a mankind acquires riches and sufficiency. And He is Aware of it also that which suitable time can be for performing any particular work. Therefore as He is Knower, He is Wise too. You should also be ready to obey His commands by giving your all works in His charge unhesitatingly. He will correct your all works when the correct time will come according to His Knowledge and Philosophy.  

Selfishness and enmity with others; without any proper reason destroys the human being. Those; who are crazed to make other people their slaves, and to feed only own people; certainly, they have been excluded from the humanity. Their mind is impure and unclean. Therefore, when it was experienced by the Muslims that the Idolaters of Makkah, whom the Jews and the Christians have joined, they will not let them prosper, then they were commanded: Let these mischievous disbelievers not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship only but drive them out of the entire Peninsula of Arab, so that you may get opportunity; at first to moderate yourselves and then correct all the people of the world without let or hindrance, and you may prepare yourselves for this work.

Obviously, if the Idolaters of Arab, the Jews and the Christians desired to live with the Muslims together, then the circumstances of this case would not be as such. Their hearts would have been purified if they had given up enmity and stubbornness, and they would have lived with the Muslims mutually by making treaties of peace and safety. But somehow those people did not accept it. Therefore, such severe commands were issued and the Muslims were instructed to arrange for them a separate place for living. The command regarding the Idolaters has been described in this verse. In the next verse, instructions for the Jews and the Christians will be explained.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ ٱلْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْعَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦٓ إِن شَآءَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ 28  

28.  O ye who believe! The Idolaters only are unclean, so let them not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship after this their year. And if ye fear poverty (from the loss of their merchandise) Allah shall preserve you of His Bounty if He will. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.

28.  Yaaa-‘ayyu-hallaziina  ‘aamanuuu  ‘innamal-Mushri-kuuna  najasun-  falaa  yaq-rabul-Masjidal-Haraama  ba’-da  ‘aamihim  haazaa.  Wa  ‘in  khiftum  ‘aylatan  fa-sawfa  yugnii-kumUllaahu  min-  fazliHiii  ‘in  shaaa’.  ‘InnAllaaha  ‘Aliimun  Hakiim.

Commentary

Najasun – (unclean), it is a tense of adjective from n-j-s, origin of which is najaasata. Najaasata means dirtiness, filth, impurity, to be licentious.

‘Aylatun – (poverty, the vocation of a beggar, hunger, want, indigence, need, and it is also used for the poor and needy. A word “‘ayaal” has been derived from it too. Those all people who depend on an individual for their provisions, and fulfilling their necessities, are called his ‘Ayaal. Such individual remains poor usually. In Arabic language, such person is called ‘Aayl, who is responsible to look after and feed many people, and due to this reason he lives in poverty.

When Infidels of Makkah disclosed; in the beginning by their character and behavior, that as far as possible they will not let the Muslims live, then the Muslims were disappointed from living with them together. After the Conquest of Makkah during 9^thAH, it was proclaimed at the occasion of Hajj (Pilgrimage), that admission of Idolaters in the Inviolable Place of Worship at Makkah (Masjidal-Haraam) is forbidden for future. Only Muslims can enter in this Sacred Place.

The Idolaters disclosed their enmity with the Muslims and that their hearts were full of malice, envy and hostility against the Believers without any proper reason. These are such things which destroy the purity of the heart, because those have enmity against the belief and politeness. And in the world, only these both things exist which can purify the mankind and make him clean. Therefore, the Muslims are instructed that they should not let the Idolaters and those, who have evil spirit and bad thoughts, go near Inviolable Place of Worship (the Square Building at Makkah).

After that when it was observed that “the Muslims cannot organize themselves; when they are living with the wrongdoers”, then it was commanded that they should drive out the Idolaters from the entire Arabian territory.

Satisfaction of the heart

Chapter Tawbah (Repentance) – Surah – 9)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

ثُمَّأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَعَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَنزَلَ جُنُودًا لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَعَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَذَٰلِكَجَزَآءُ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ 26

 ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 27  

26.  Then Allah sent His peace of reassurance down upon His Messenger and upon the Believers, and sent down hosts ye could not see, and punished those who disbelieved. And such is the reward of disbelievers. 27.  Then afterward Allah will relent toward whom He will. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

26.  Summa  ‘anza-lAllaahu  sakiina-tahuu  ‘alaa  RasuuliHii  wa  ‘alal-Mu’-miniina  wa  ‘an-zala  junuudal-lam-  tarawhaa-  wa  ‘azza-ballaziina  kafaruu.  Wa  zaalika  jazaaa-‘ul-kaafiriin. 27.  Summa  yatuu-bUllaahu  mim-ba’-di  zaalika  many-yashaaa’.  WAllaahu  Gafuurur-Rahiim.

Commentary

Sakiina-tah – (satisfaction, peace of reassurance), this word has been made of sa-ka-na, from which the words sakuun, saakin, maskan etc. have been derived. This word was discussed in Surah ‘Al-Baqarah. Maskan means “place of stay”. Sakiina – the thing with which commotion of the heart sets out and one feels satisfaction.

After the Battle of Uhud, Hunayn was second occasion that the Infidels besieged the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). At that time, four thousand Infidels, girded on enmity, had surrounded Him (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). Maximum Muslims had been dispersed being confused by Infidels’ archery. Only a few men had been remained with the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), out of which, there were His paternal uncle named Abbas and sons of His other uncle Abu Sufyan (may God be pleased with them). The arrows were raining from all around. But the heart of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) was absolutely fearless. Allah Almighty had strengthened His heart. Later on, Abbas (may God be pleased with him) called out aloud to the Muslims: Where do you go? Come to this side. As soon as the Muslims heard his voice, they came running recklessly. And God Almighty produced peace of reassurance and comfort in their hearts.

It is commanded that the Muslims continued running for some time in the condition of much confusion. But eventually, that satisfaction of the heart, which was in the heart of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), penetrated into their hearts also. Allah Almighty sent down hidden forces for their help in the form of Angels (peace be upon them) which were not seen by their eyes, but they influenced their hearts.

Infidels were defeated, slaughtered and plundered. Certainly, this punishment was necessary for the rebellious people. After that, when fighting was over, then many fortunate people from the Infidels embraced Islam. God Almighty forgave their errors and sent His blessings on them. It has been taught in these verses that although effort and plant is necessary for every work, but the Trust must be in Allah Almighty only.
