Lesson
It was commanded in the previous
verse: If your opponents long for peace, you should be willing also for it,
because actual object of Islam is not to fight, but it desires to maintain the
freedom of publication of the religion and remove mischief, temptation,
affliction, immorality and corruption.
If these matters are solved with
mutual agreement, then there is no need of fighting. It has been described in
this verse that on the request of peace, making a truce is anyhow better, but
if there is any doubt that their aim is only to deceive you by requesting for
peace, and heartily they have intention that they will continue opposing the
Muslims silently by keeping them careless; under the pretext of peace, and continue
troubling the Muslims internally, whereas externally, they will keep them putting
blinds of peace, because the Muslims have been urged according to their
religion that they should abide by the terms of peace honestly. Therefore, due
to care about restrictions, neither they can commit against the terms of peace apparently;
nor secretly. But we shall get more opportunities of molesting them with this
pretext.
It is commanded that if their aim
from signing a treaty for peace is that they; by keeping you ignorant, will
continue opposing the terms of peace, and you feel threat of reaching such condition
that due to treaty of peace; you may do nothing, whereas; they fasten their
loins fearlessly for vexing you, then; even then it is better to come to terms.
They would never harm you with their
deceivings and tricks. Your faithfulness and honesty is means of God’s favor.
He is Sufficient for taking revenge of their deceiving from your side. Behold!
How much did they molest you in the beginning? But Allah Almighty supported His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) Himself; as well as;
excited the Muslims for help. He put love and friendship for one another in
their hearts, and they became brothers mutually themselves, whereas, earlier; they
were enemies of one another.
Before embracing Islam, there was
limitless enmity between two big tribes of Arab, named “’Aws and Khizraj”. When they
entered in Islam, they began to sacrifice their life and wealth mutually
themselves. Like this, the people of Makkah
gave up all previous battles after being Muslims. It was a Miracle of Islam;
which appeared in the world. It joined the fighter people as of Arab, which was
not in the power of any other except Islam.
