Defence of the Persons, Treated Unjustly

 

Fight for helping those who are wronged (L-568)

وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَمِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا  مِنْ هَٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَٱجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَٱجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا 75.

75.  Wa  maa  lakum laa  tuqaa-tiluuna  fii  Sabii-Lillaahi  wal-mustaz-‘afiina  minar-rijaali  wan-nisaaa-‘i  wal-wildaanil-laziina  yaquu-luuna  Rabba-naaa  ‘akh-rij-naa  min    haazihil-qaryatiz-zaalimi  ‘ahluhaa.  Waj-‘al-lanaa  mil-la-dunka  waliy-yaa.  Waj-‘al-lanaa  milla-dunKa  nasiiraa.      

75.  And why would you not fight in the cause of God, and the helpless men, and women, and children, cry out, “Our Lord, deliver us from this town whose people are oppressive, and appoint for us from Your Presence a Protector, and appoint for us from Your Presence a Victor.”


Yuqaa-tilu  fii  Sabii-Lillaahi  - (fought for the Cause of God), this sentence has come three times in these verses. The aim is to emphasize upon the matter that the battle should only be for the religion of God . He approves that none should prevent any other from following on the Way of Religion. The war is with them only who do not believe in the true religion themselves; as well as obstruct others too from acting upon the religious instructions.

It is understood that Jihad means ‘to get ready for fighting against the people, who prevent the human beings from the straight path and want to make others their own harmonious by violence. Sign of those misled people is that they see only worldly advantages of their own and their companions, and wish to keep others pressed forcibly for their personal desires. They say, “We are superior to all other persons and they should remain our servants”.

Contrary to them, there are some such people, who like goodness for the entire mankind and consider their gain in the gain of all other human beings. Neither they are proud nor haughty. They do not desire to keep others under their influence. They deem necessary to help the poor, the needy and the feeble people, and there is neither any interest of their own in it, nor they think about any benefit. Rather their aim is only to save the creature of God from any disaster. They neither claim any gratitude from someone and nor desire any partiality/favor. These people believe truly in God and His religion.

God commands that while those men and women, little, elder and weak children of any inhabited place would be crying and screaming for help, defense and protection against the oppressors, who have made them oppressed, then what has happened with you that you do not go forth to help them? Moreover, why do you not grip up your loins for fighting against the oppressors?
