7. How can there be a treaty with Allah and with His
Messenger for the idolaters save those with whom ye made a treaty at the
Inviolable Place of Worship? So long as they are true to you, be true to
them. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty.

Commentary
Mas-taqaamuu – (So
long as they are true), ‘is-taqaamuu is past tense, origin of
which is ‘istaqaamatun. From it, many words have come out; like
– qawm, maqaam, qiaam, aqaamat, mustaqiim, qiaamat etc. ‘Istaqaamat means
“straight”. The word Mustaqiim has been derived from it, as it has come in
Holy Qur’an Siraatal Mustaqiim (the Straight
Path). Next to it; the word fastaqiimuu has been used; which
is a word of command, and which means “Be true or straight”.
In the beginning of first
Section, which was beginning of this Surah (Chapter) too, a
word “Baraaa-‘ah” was used, aim from which was that God Almighty and His
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) are neither
responsible to abide by any treaty with the idolaters of Arab in future and nor
will they make any new treaty with them. The second Section of this Surah begins
from this verse, in which; the reason about the matter has been described that
“why can any treaty not be made with them?”
It is commanded that there is
no form of “treaty of alliance” by Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) with the idolaters. However, those
people, with whom you have made a treaty during “Peace Treaty of Hudaybiah”
near “the Inviolable Place of Worship” (Masjidil-Haraam) (not to fight)
for ten years, that Treaty will be fulfilled till the completion of the term,
on the condition that they do not disobey the treaty which they have made with
you and abide by the terms of the treaty. So long as they care for the terms of
the peace treaty and remain true to you, you should abide by the terms also, be
true to them and treat them straight forward as they treat you.
It was explained previously
that Qureish (the idolaters) of Makkah broke
the treaty and supported the tribe of Banu Bakr, who attacked over
the tribe of Banu Khuza-‘ah, which was ally of Muslims, against the
treaty. Therefore, resultant, the Muslims attacked over Makkah and
conquered it.
In 9th AH
during the occasion of Hajj-il-Akbar (The Greater Pilgrimage),
it was proclaimed that in future, the Muslims will not be bound of any treaty.
Postponement is only for four months. After that, the idolaters cannot dwell in
the Peninsula of Arab. There were some such tribes at the time of announcement,
which were included in the Treaty of Hudaybiah. Nine months had
remained in completion of the Term of the Treaty. They abode by the terms, so
they were not troubled till completion of the terms of treaty.
