The example of the men of old
Surah ‘ANFAAL (SPOILS OF WAR) – Chapter – 8)
Stage – 2, Verses – 38 to 40 of 75,

BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In
the name of God, the Beneficent, the
Merciful

38. Tell those who
disbelieve that if they cease (from persecution of believers) that which is
past will be forgiven them; but if they return (thereto) then the example of
the men of old hath already gone (before them, for a warning).
39. And fight them
until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they
cease, then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do.
40. And if they turn
away, then know that Allah is your Befriender. A Transcendent Patron, and a
Transcendent Helper!

Lesson
Fit-natun –
(persecution), meaning of this word has been explained in previous lessons. Here
it aims “the riot and the disorder”.
Diinun and
Hukmun
– there are many meanings of the word Diinun, which have been described previously. This
word has come in the first Chapter (Surah
‘Al-Faatihah) and after that; at many places. Its meanings have been taken
at every place according to the occasion. Here it means “The way of conduct and
behavior” which is established by the influence of great people of the nation. The
aim of using this word here is that the method of conduct of the human being
should be as it has been prescribed by God Almighty and He has guided instead
of obeying the command of any other contrary to His obedience.
It is commanded that the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) should say to those who
disbelieve that if they will abstain from wicked deeds and cease from
persecution of Muslims, then their past entire evil deeds and sins will be
forgiven. But if they returned (carried on persecuting the believers) then they
should bear in mind that they will be punished with the same; which they have
tasted in the past.
The Believers are being commanded
that they should be ready in all respect to fight against them until they are
inclined for mischief, disorder and riot, and till the time; their manners do
not become in accord with the correct way entirely for which Allah Almighty has
instructed strictly Himself.
If they accept, you should not say
to them about anything and the matter should be left for the final decision of
God Almighty. But if they deny and continue persecuting; then oppose them face
to face and fight them. And you should remember that Allah Almighty is your
Best Supporting Friend, and except Him; there can be no other transcendent
patron and transcendent helper of yours.
