Lesson
In the previous verse,
the Muslims were caused to understand “how to make different parties of
suitable people for every work separately”. In this verse, scheme of fighting
and making the enemies helpless has been explained, because this work also had
fallen suddenly upon the Muslims forcibly.
The world
taught them (the Muslims) that there is no other way but the last opportunity -
war against refractory people to seize them. It is compulsory for individual
and collective development of the human being that bestial manners should be
kept under the control of human attributes and should be brought into use as
and when required according to necessity.
But prevalence
of the bestial wishes prevented the Idolaters, at that time, from understanding
that; not only this; but they desired to amputate beast-like to the Muslims in
to pieces, and considered that they would crush the Believers with their
physical and collective power.
At last, the
Muslims were informed that even the human beasts of prey can be overwhelmed
also with power. In the beginning, they were compelled collectively to fight
the Infidels to break their strength. But when they observed that after
starting the war, it becomes difficult to stop it, then they had to fix the
war-laws under compulsion. And according to those laws, fighting like beasts
was against the humanity.
It has been
commanded in this verse that Allah Almighty helps those who obey Him and fear
from His anger. You should fight enemies bearing this command in mind. Every city
of the Muslims should keep the enemies, near to them, under their influence and
demonstrate before them of power. So that, they refrain from wickedness and
understand that “Being only beast-like will not be useful. Being human is also
a necessary thing. Attempt to press others by physical and material force is
just like ruin of humanity.
They should
understand it well that the Muslims support peace and safety for all. They will
never precede from their side for fighting. However, if someone will try to
overpower them with tyranny and forcibly, then they will subdue their enemy by
the order of their Lord, Allah Almighty. And until he does not correct himself,
they will not release him.
