Commentary
‘Uq-tuluuhum – (slay them,
kill them), hum means those people who have come out
for battle. This command is not for all the times but it is only for the
duration of the war.
Hay-su
saqif-tumuuhum – (wherever you find them), that is to say; the people;
who fight against you and kill your people, you should slay them wherever you
find them in the battlefield, at that time, you should not stop your hands.
Min hay-su
‘akhrajuukum – (the places whence they drove you out), it indicates
towards Makkah – the Infidels and Idolaters drove the Muslims
out from Makkah.
The command regarding
slaying, fighting and striving has been mentioned in this verse. The enemies of
Islam try every time that the Muslims should not raise. They should be removed
from the surface of the earth. Therefore, existence of the people like these
enemies is cause of danger for the Muslims every time. So wherever the Muslims
overcome upon them, if they do neither like to live as peaceful citizens and nor
shun from the wickedness, then they should be slain.
Prophet Abraham (peace
be upon Him) constructed the Temple of Makkah (BaytUllaah, the Square Building ) for the purpose that
the entire people of the entire earth should come for purely worship of God
Almighty. His real heirs were Muslims, because only they were the
representatives of the religion of Abraham (peace be upon Him) out of the entire
nations, and were regular on the Divine Law of God Almighty and the true
religion. The Muslims wished to make it the Center of the Religion
Islam from the beginning. But the Infidels and the Idolaters opposed the
Muslims. They stood in their way, prevented them to speak the truth, oppressed
and tyrannized them. Even that; they exiled the Muslims from Makkah.
Leaving their native
land and the center; the Oppressed Muslims came to Madinah for
living. The Infidels didn’t let them live in peace there also, committed
different kinds of conspiracies, continued vexing and opposing them, prevented
the Muslims from Pilgrimage, hindered extremely in Islamic invitation, and
began attacking on Madinah. In such circumstances, the Muslims were
commanded that they should slay those kinds of Infidels wherever they are found.
And they should be exiled for getting back the native land and spiritual
centre, because their harassment had crossed the limits.
The
life of a Muslim is a correct model role for the humanity. He is follower of
the natural religion i.e. Islam. He is a flag-holder of excellent manners with
his word and deed. Being pattern of the perfect humanity, he should be provided
the right of living with full freedom. Neither Islam snatches freedom of anyone,
nor can sacrifice its own freedom, nor can tolerate any constitution like this,
way of life and system; which might be peace-breaker, false worshiper,
enemy of God, and cause of dishonor for the nobility and humanity.
