Lesson
About those Muslims have been
described in this verse, who could not come to Madinah by immigration but remained in Makkah, where infidels were in power and their order was executed.
The people of the community of Madinah
were not confederate in their peace and war. That is to say; if they had made
any treaty of peace with the Infidels of Makkah
expediently, then neither it was necessary for the Muslims of Madinah to be bound of that treaty and
nor they could be heirs of those people; while they were living in Makkah.
It is commanded that the Muslims of Madinah should not interfere in the
matters of those believers who are still living in Makkah, could not leave their homes due to any reason and could not
immigrate to Madinah. However if they
need any help in the religious matters, for example; the disbelievers begin to
make them renegades violently; and do not accept the freedom of religion and
conscience, and they think fit to tyrannize them only due to the reason that
they are Muslims, and in such condition, if the Muslims of Makkah request you for help; being distressed, then it is your duty
to help them. But if they request you for help against those people between
whom and you there is already a treaty, then till they abide by the terms of
treaty and do not break any term from those terms, you cannot help the Muslims
of Makkah against them.
Be careful in this matter that
whatever you do, your outward appearance and inward qualities should be equal,
and think never that you can hide anything from God Almighty. He has been
watching everything of you; whatever you are going to do. He is fully Aware of
your outward and inward (both) equally.
Those all commands which are being
described in these verses, are only for those people of Makkah and Madinah who
did exist during that period (primary years after Hijrah), because the fighting flamed up between them only due to
the reason that the disbelievers of Makkah
had girt their loins to oppress the Muslims unreasonably, that is to say; they
did not accept it that every sensible and mature person has a power of choice
that he/she may adopt the religion; whichever he/she desires to choose wisely.
Denial of this freedom is root cause of outbreak, and as far as this root is
not cut, the Muslims will continue fighting. Those wars which are not fought
for maintaining this freedom, but for any other purpose, the orders for them
will be the same; which will be according to the situation and a custom.
