Chapter “MUMTAHINAH” - (She that is to be examined) - 60

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ عَدُوِّى وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِم بِٱلْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِمَا جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْحَقِّ يُخْرِجُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ أَن تُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ رَبِّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ جِهَٰدًا فِى سَبِيلِى وَٱبْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِى 1a

1a. O you who believe! Choose not My enemy and your enemy for allies. Do you give them friendship when they disbelieve in that truth which has come unto you, driving out the messenger and you because you believe in Allah, your Lord? If you have come forth to strive in My way and seeking My good pleasure, (show them not friendship).

Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him) conveyed the Message of Islam to the people of Makkah, but they rejected and became enemies. These people were of the tribe Qureish, and he (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him) belonged to highest family of the same tribe. They troubled the Messenger (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him) so much that he along with his companions (May Allaah be pleased with them), who embraced Islam, were compelled to leave Makkah.

After that the war began among (the believers and the disbelievers) both of them, which was over on the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. The people of Qureish broke the Treaty after two years and the war began again. He (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him) was desirous to escape from blood-shedding, and that the Muslims should reach suddenly and take Makkah in their possession. A man tried to inform the Qureish due to his personal advantages. His letter was caught, but the Messenger (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him) forgave him.

Concerning the same it has been instructed: It is not suitable for the Muslims to support the enemies when you are at war. The enemy is not only of yours enemy but he is enemy of Allaah Almighty too, and foundation of his enmity is Religion. They compelled you and the Messenger (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him) to leave their township because you had belief in Allaah Almighty.

It is commanded: Hence if you have come out for fighting in My Way and you desire My pleasure, then you must not take such people as allies during the period of war who are your enemies due to your Religion, because making the religion cause of war is mankind’s greatest crime. Therefore, you must not be their sympathizers until they come to Right Path.
