Lesson
It was
told in the previous lesson that Allah Almighty is Able to give honor and
sovereignty to whom He wishes and Can snatch these things from whom He wills. Each
kind of government and empire, prestige, honor and possession are in His control.
Therefore, it does not suit the Muslims, who really believe in Him, if they
increase friendship voluntarily or without knowledge with the disbelievers,
enemies of Allah Almighty, and Infidels, leaving their Muslim brothers or
considering them not enough. The enemies of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) can never become their friends. One who
opposes it, should think about himself that he has no concern with the love of
Allah Almighty. Entire hopes of a Muslim should be related only to Allah
Almighty.
Three
forms of good behavior are possible into the Humankind:
1.
Friendship
2.
Apparent politeness
3.
Kindness and doing well
Religious Scholars have
told that first form that is to say; real friendship with the Infidels is unlawful
in all conditions. Third form (Kindness and doing well) is legal only with
those Infidels who would never be ready to fight with the Muslims. Second form
(Apparent politeness) is legal only under three conditions:
·
For self protection
·
Trying him to be in Islam
·
In the form that you are a host, it means that when
any Infidel comes to you as a guest.
Besides these, three forms, friendship is not allowed anyway to
get personal advantage or wealth, but when there is danger that he will put
obstacles in the way of religion then also no friendship is allowed.
Allah Almighty frightens the Muslims from His torment who keep
friendship with the Infidels so that they would bear in mind that at last every
person will have to go back towards Him. He will reward or punish in accord
with one’s deeds and it will not be possible to escape from His grasp.
