Order Of Warfare

 

Commandment regarding Fighting (L-271)

كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ 216a.

216a.  Kutiba ‘alaykumul-qitaalu wa huwa kurhul-lakum.

216a.  Fighting is ordained for you, even though you dislike it.

We have discussed this matter earlier in detail that the source of our guidance is only Islam. Islam has a complete Code for our life. If any individual accepts any other religion and turns away from it, he will turn away from the real destination; will surrender himself to destruction by going astray. Because meaning of deflecting away from Islam is that such person will ruin the peace and security, will spread mischief and violence, will oppress others and transgress their rights.

God has commanded to the Muslims that they should fight all those people who turn away from Islam, who remain earnest in spreading evil and mischief, who engage in conspiracies and depravities because they are enemies of Islam and ruin the peace. Kill them because only “the end” of those people can become cause of improvement of Islam and prosperity of the world.

Messenger of God (ﷺ) was instructed to fight after migration from Makkah to Madinah whereas he had to establish the Foundation of a new state, invite unto Islam openly and had to bring a new society in existence according to the guidance from God, but at that time; the Muslims were weak and helpless, less in numbers, didn’t have equipment of warfare and were in the seizure of the worst condition and anxiety. Therefore, it was necessary to undergo invasive naturally the command of warfare. So they were commanded that whether the warfare was how much hateful to them but they had to do their duty.    

The most precious thing for the mankind is his life. Its end is felt unlike and unpleasant by every individual. Leaving one’s life and loss of lives is common in warfare. But God informed that far-reaching results and benefits of this warfare are in abundance which will appear afterward. Therefore, if the unpleasantness is borne temporarily in hearts and the loss is endured, its result will be very sweet and superior. We should obey the Commandments of God without hesitation and caring for the favorite things of the world. We should earn the pleasure of God by sacrificing our lives, our children and wealth. https://youtu.be/giZOXWUEkXw
