Lesson
Jaahid
– (strive
against), it is a word of command from the word Jihad. Meanings of Jihad have
already been explained in the past (to try and strive). It has been commanded
in this verse that you should strive against the Disbelievers and the
Hypocrites.
To strive
against someone is a particular form of common Jihad, that is to say; trying best
for the purpose that the opponent should refrain, all at once or consequently, from
those actions and deeds which are hazardous for the humanity.
In this
verse, it is commanded that you should deal the Disbelievers and the Hypocrites
hard, that is to say; you should not compromise with them, but be harsh.
In Islam,
atmosphere of mutual friendship and politeness surrounds all around. In it,
every individual is a standard-bearer of bilateral forgiveness and hospitality.
And Messenger of God Almighty (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) desired to establish this environment in the Arabian
territory and through the Arabs, in the entire world by means of His Commands
and Behavior.
But many crooked
people of the Arab did not let this system establish in the beginning and
opposed. Even that the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) was instructed by means of the Revelation
that there is a need of predominance on stubborn people by influence and fighting.
Therefore,
it is commanded that these obstinate Disbelievers, who are open enemies of
Islam, will not accept in this manner. They become more courageous for
committing mischief due to more loosening. Be harsh with them from all around,
so that they remain influenced.
And the Hypocrites
do not fight openly, so there is no change of war against them. But prove with
your behavior that they are the worst stubborn people. Their punishment is the
Fire of the Hell on the Day of Resurrection, which is the end of a hapless
journey.
