Glorious Qura’n mentions that it’s prohibited for believers within a peaceful country to join hands with enemies. Furthermore, where the enemies do mischief, and can attack the nation; needs to be dealt with whatever best way suitable. Earlier, believers were confused over suffering in their homeland before God’s permission came in the Qura’n. It was revealed to allow believers to engage into self-defense fighting.
However, the verses 60:1-7 mention prohibition for those who committed the sin of surrendering oneself to the aggressive enemy. “As for those who have not fought against you for your religion. You haven’t been expelled from your homes, God does not prohibit you from dealing with them kindly and equitably. God loves the equitable. But God prohibits you from befriending those who fought against you over your religion. And expelled you from your homes, and aided in your expulsion.
Self Defense & Love for Nation
The Qura’n says: (60:8-9), “Whoever makes friendships with enemies are the unjust ones.” Patriotism is must as per Qura’n that you love your nation and your neighbors but at the same time do not fall prey (victim) to violence. You must fight for justice within your nation or fight for the nation and be honest.
There’s no penalties in the Qura’n for human beings helping other human beings from other nations. For those, who get joined to the enemies within their nation in times of war, they should not feel guilty. Moreover, they should fight for their own nation and never give up the fight. Qura’n says the Almighty God is the most merciful and forgiving for all you do and think, He is all aware. If there’s an inside attack then people should try to defend themselves from the enemies within their nation.
Step by Step Knowledge
Every step forward to a person should be clear with justice and honesty in the mind and heart. A believer always finds peace in good manners and positive thinking. When he finds enemies within his nation then he fights for good cause. Fights sometimes are indispensable whether you fight to save yourself or fight to help your people. Best thing is to keep yourself aware of what’s happening in your homeland and take necessary steps. Step by step following what’s already written in the Glorious Qura’n needs to be implemented in our lives. Believers should always ensure that whether it’s according to Qura’n or not for any of their Islamic knowledge that they receive. They should keep in mind that they shouldn’t be misguided with Islamic teachings not according to Qura’n.
