Lesson
Qaatiluuhum – (fight them) it
may be signified towards all the Infidels, but the religious scholars have
aimed only the Idolaters of Makkah, because here it appears the face of words
toward them.
Ad-Diinu – (the religion)
this word is used for reward and punishment in Arabic, which means revenge,
exchange. It has come for several meanings in the Holy Qur’an that is to say,
revenge, exchange, the method of conception and action, the religion, the
worship of the God Almighty and obedience etc.
It has been commanded in this verse that waging a war should be
continued against the infidel persecutors and the enemies of Islam till the
time that persecution and mischief ends, Rule of God Almighty overcomes, nobody
should have the power to oppose or attack without just cause on the Rule of
Allah Almighty and if any person insults it then he should be punished properly
and immediately.
Islam desires that the Rule of God Almighty should be public and
common. All the people believers of other religions may pass their lives
satisfactorily at their own places. Places of worship and prayers, and
religious stations may remain safe from their tyranny. No hindrance may be
produced in the path of Islam. This is the only one form with which Peace may
be maintained in the world. Otherwise persecution/mischief will use to raise
its head always and the people may never remain in comfort. Islam has three
options for it:
1. Invite the people to
embrace Islam. If they agree to it, believe that God Almighty is One, Muhammad
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) is the last Messenger of God
Almighty and the Day of Resurrection, then Allah Almighty will forgive their
evildoings and they will get all equal rights of the Muslims in the Islamic
society.
2. If the people are not
ready to embrace Islam, however they promise to refrain its opposition, then
they may remain fondly in the Islamic state. In this form it will be the responsibility
of the Muslims to provide them protection and security.
3. If they don’t agree
to the above mentioned two options and continue to oppose the Rule of God
Almighty, that is to say they become mad in selfishness then their decision
should be finalized with the sword. Their punishment is not less than
slaughter. Persecutors and enemies of the peace can never be forgiven.
