In the name of Allah most gracious most merciful

MILITARY LAWS 

Fight To Protect

4:74      Let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah whether he is slain or gets victory soon shall We give him a reward of great (value).

75         And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who being weak are ill-treated (and oppressed)?  Men women and children whose cry is: "Our Lord! rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who will help!"

76     Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil: so fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.

 

22:39    To those against whom war is made permission is given (to fight) because they are wronged and verily Allah is Most powerful for their aid

40         (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right (for no cause) except that they say "Our Lord is Allah." Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another there would surely have been pulled down monasteries churches synagogues and mosques in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid His (cause); for verily Allah is Full of Strength Exalted in Might (Able to enforce His Will).

41         (They are) those who if We establish them in the land establish regular prayer and give regular charity enjoin the right and forbid wrong: with Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs.

 

4:97      When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls they say: "In what (plight) were ye?"  They reply: "Weak and oppressed were we in the earth."  They say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (from evil)?"  Such men will find their abode in Hell what an evil refuge!

98         Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed men women and children who have no means in their power nor (a guide-post) to direct their way.

 

2:216    Fighting is prescribed for you and ye dislike it.  But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you and that ye love a thing which is bad for you.  But Allah knoweth and ye know not.

 

9:123    O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about and let them find firmness in you; and know that Allah is with those who fear him.

 

16:110  But verily thy Lord to those who leave their homes after trials and persecutions and who thereafter strive and fight for the faith and patiently persevere thy Lord after all this is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.

 

Prepare For Jihad

9:16      Or think ye that ye Shall be abandoned as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might and main and take none for friends and protectors except Allah His apostle and the (community of) believers?  But Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.

 

2:190    Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.

191       And slay them wherever ye catch them and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you slay them.  Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

192       But if they cease Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.

193       And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression.

 

 8:59     Let not the unbelievers think that they can get the better (of Allah): they will never frustrate (them).

60         Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power including steeds of war to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides whom ye may not know but whom Allah doth know.  Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah shall be repaid unto you and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

61         But if the enemy incline towards peace do thou (also) incline towards peace and trust in Allah: for He is the one that heareth and knoweth (all things).

62         Should they intend to deceive thee verily Allah sufficeth thee: He it is that hath strengthened thee with his aid and with (the company of) the believers:

63         And (moreover) He hath put affection between their hearts: not if thou hadst spent all that is in the earth couldst thou have produced that affection but Allah hath done it: for He is Exalted in might Wise.

64         O Apostle! sufficient unto thee is Allah (unto thee) and unto those who follow thee among the believers.

 

 

Gain Mastery

3:139    So lose not heart nor fall into despair: for ye must gain mastery if ye are true in faith.

140       If a wound hath touched you be sure a similar wound hath touched the others.  Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe and that He may take to Himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to Truth).  And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.

141       Allah's object also is to purge those that are true in faith and to deprive of blessing those that resist faith.

 

9:25      Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields and on the day of Hunain: Behold! your great numbers elated you but they availed you naught: the land for all that it is wide did constrain you and ye turned back in retreat.

 

9:29      Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are) of the People of the Book until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.

 

8:55      For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are those who reject Him: They will not believe.

56         They are those with whom thou didst make a covenant but they break their covenant every time and they have not the fear (of Allah).

57         If ye gain the mastery over them in war disperse with them those who follow them that they may remember.

58         If thou fearest treachery from any group throw back (their covenant) to them (so as to be) on equal terms: for Allah loveth not the treacherous.

 

8:38      Say to the unbelievers if (now) they desist (from unbelief) their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them).

39         And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease verily Allah doth see all that they do.

40         If they refuse be sure that Allah is your protector the best to protect and the best to help.

41         And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war) a fifth share is assigned to Allah and to the apostle and to near relatives orphans the needy and the wayfarer if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the day of testing the day of the meeting of the two forces.  For Allah hath power over all things.

 

61:2      O ye who believe! why say ye that which ye do not?

3           Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not.

4           Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array as if they were a solid cemented structure.

 

 

Ratio Of Believers

8:65      O apostle! rouse the believers to the fight.  If there are twenty amongst you patient and persevering they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred they will vanquish a thousand of the unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.

66         For the present Allah hath lightened your (task) for He knoweth that there is a weak spot in you: but (even so) if there are a hundred of you patient and persevering they will vanquish two hundred and if a thousand they will vanquish two thousand with the leave of Allah: for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.

67         It is not fitting for an apostle that he should have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land.  Ye look for the temporal goods of this world; but Allah looketh to the hereafter; and Allah is Exalted in might Wise

 

 

Help From Allah

33:9      O ye who believe! Remember the Grace of Allah (bestowed) on you when there came down on you hosts (to overwhelm you): but We sent against them a hurricane and force that ye saw not.  But Allah sees (clearly) all that ye do.

10         Behold! they came on you from above you and from below you and behold the eyes became dim and the hearts gaped up to the throats and ye imagined various (vain) thoughts about Allah!

11         In that situation were the Believers tried: they were shaken as by a tremendous shaking.

 

5:54      O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his faith soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him lowly with the believers mighty against the rejecters fighting in the way of Allah and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault.  That is the Grace of Allah which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth: and Allah encompasseth all and He knoweth all things.

55         Your (real) friends are (no less than) Allah His Apostle and the (fellowship of) believers those who establish regular prayers and regular charity and they bow down humbly (in worship).

56         As to those who turn (for friendship) to Allah His Apostle and the (fellowship of) believers it is the fellowship of Allah that must certainly triumph.

57         O ye who believe! take not for friends and protectors those who take your religion for a mockery or sport whether among those who received the Scripture before you or among those who reject faith; but fear ye Allah if ye have Faith (indeed).

58         When ye proclaim your call to prayer they take it (but) as mockery and sport; that is because they are a people without understanding.

59         Say: "O People of the Book! do ye disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah and the revelation that hath come to us and that which came before (us) and (perhaps) that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?"

 

59:6      What Allah has bestowed on His Apostle (and taken away) from them for this ye made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry: but Allah gives power to His apostles over any He pleases: and Allah has power over all things

 

3:172    Of those who answered the call of Allah and the Apostle even after being wounded those who do right and refrain from wrong have a great reward.

173       Men said to them: "A great army is gathering against you": and frightened them: but it (only) increased their faith.  They said: "For us Allah sufficeth and He is the best disposer of affairs."

174       And they returned with Grace and Bounty from Allah: no harm ever touched them; for they followed the good pleasure of Allah: and Allah is the Lord of bounties unbounded.

 

 

Spend In The Way Of Allah

57:10    And what cause have ye why ye should not spend in the cause of Allah?  For to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth.  Not equal among you are those who spent (freely) and fought before the Victory (with those who did so later).  Those are higher in rank than those who spent (freely) and fought afterwards.  But to all has Allah promised a goodly (reward) and Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

 

Do Not Turn Away From Jihad

33:15    And yet they had already covenanted with Allah not to turn their backs and a covenant with Allah must (surely) be answered for.

16         Say: "Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or slaughter; and even if (ye do escape) no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!"

17         Say: "Who is it that can screen you from Allah if it be His wish to give you Punishment or to give you Mercy?" Nor will they find for themselves besides Allah any protector or helper.

18         Verily Allah knows those among you who keep back (men) and those who say to their brethren "Come along to us" but come not to the fight except for just a little while.

19         Covetous over you.  Then when fear comes thou wilt see them looking to thee their eyes revolving like (those of) one over whom hovers death: but when the fear is past they will smite you with sharp tongues covetous of goods.  Such men have no faith and so Allah has made their deeds of none effect: and that is easy for Allah.

20         They think that the Confederates have not withdrawn; and if the Confederates should come (again) they would wish they were in the deserts (wandering) among the Bedouins and seeking news about you (from a safe distance); and if they were in your midst they would fight but little.

 

 

Do Not Fear Jihad

4:77      Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity?  When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them behold! a section of them feared men as or even more than they should have feared Allah: they say: "Our Lord! why hast Thou ordered us to fight?  Wouldst Thou not grant us respite to our (natural) term near (enough)?"  Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!

78         "Wherever ye are death will find you out even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!"  If some good befalls them they say "This is from Allah"; but if evil they say "this is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah.  But what hath come to these people that they fail to understand a single fact?

 

Do Not Fight In Four Sacred Months

9:36      The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year) so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred; that is the straight usage.  So wrong not yourselves therein and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together.  But know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.

*Note:Rajab,Muharram,Dhul Hijja,Dhi qada

 

2:217    They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month.  Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah to deny Him to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque and drive out its members.  Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter.  Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can.  And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein.

218       Those who believed and those who suffered exile and fought (and strove and struggled) in the path of Allah they have the hope of the Mercy of Allah; and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.

 

Authoritarian Investigations

4:83      When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear they divulge it.  If they had only referred it to the Apostle or to those charged with authority among them the proper investigators would have tested it from them (direct).  Were it not for the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan.

84         Then fight in Allah's cause thou art held responsible only for thyself and rouse the believers.  It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the unbelievers: for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.

85         Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein: and whoever recommends and helps an evil cause shares in its burden: and Allah hath power over all things.

 

 

Abandoining Jihad Is Sin

9:81      Those who were left behind (in the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the apostle of Allah: they hated to strive and fight with their goods and their persons in the cause of Allah: they said "Go not forth in the heat.  Say "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat."  If only they could understand!

82         Let them laugh a little: much will they weep: a recompense for the (evil) that they do.

83         If then Allah bring thee back to any of them and they ask thy permission to come out (with thee) say: "Never shall ye come out with me nor fight an enemy with me: for ye preferred to sit inactive on the first occasion: then sit ye (now) with those who lag behind."

 

9:86      When a Surah comes down enjoining them to believe in Allah and to strive and fight along with his apostle those with wealth and influence among them ask thee for exemption and say: "Leave us (behind): we would be with those who sit (at home)."

87         They prefer to be with (the women) who remain behind (at home): their hearts are sealed and so they understand not.

88         But the apostle and those who believe with him strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper.

89         Allah hath prepared for them gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein: that is the supreme felicity

 

3:111    They will do you no harm barring a trifling annoyance; if they come out to fight you they will show you their backs and no help shall they get.

112       Shame is pitched over them (like a tent) wherever they are found except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah and pitched over them is (the tent of) destitution.  This because they rejected the signs of Allah and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and transgressed beyond bounds

 

2:243    Didst thou not turn thy vision to those who abandoned their homes though they were thousands (in number) for fear of death?  Allah said to them: "Die."  Then He restored them to life.  For Allah is full of bounty to mankind but most of them are ungrateful.

244               Then fight in the cause of Allah and know that Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

 

 

Jihad Exempted For Weak And Those Without Resources

48:16    Say to the desert Arabs who lagged behind: "Ye shall be summoned (to fight) against a people given to vehement war: then shall ye fight or they shall submit.  Then if ye show obedience Allah will grant you a goodly reward but if ye turn back as ye did before He will punish you with a grievous Penalty."

17         No blame is there on the blind nor is there blame on the lame nor on one ill (if he joins not the war): but he that obeys Allah and His Apostle (Allah) will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and he who turns back (Allah) will punish him with a grievous Penalty

 

9:90      And there were among the desert Arabs (also) Men who made excuses and came to claim exemption; and those who were false to Allah and His apostle (Merely) sat inactive.  Soon will a grievous penalty seize the unbelievers among them.

91         There is no blame on those who are infirm or ill or who find no resources to spend (on the cause) if they are sincere (in duty) to Allah and His apostle: no ground (of complaint) can there be against such as do right: and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.

92         Nor (is there blame) on those who came to thee to be provided with mount and when thou saidst "I can find no mounts for you" they turned back their eyes streaming with tears of grief that they had no resources wherewith to provide the expenses

93         The ground (of complaint) is against such as claim exemption while they are rich.  They prefer to stay with the (women) who remain behind: Allah hath sealed their hearts; so they know not (what they miss).

94         They will present their excuses to you when ye return to them.  Say thou: "Present no excuses: we shall not believe you: Allah hath already informed us of the true state of matters concerning you: it is your actions that Allah and His apostle will observe: in the end will ye be brought back to Him who knoweth what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did.

 

 

 

Peace Treaty With Those Who Do Not Fight

4:89      They but wish that ye should reject faith as they do and thus be on the same footing (as they): but take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (from what is forbidden).  But if they turn renegades seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.

90         Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace) or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people.  If Allah had pleased He could have given them power over you and they would have fought you: therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not and (instead) send you (guarantees of) peace then Allah hath opened no way for you (to war against them).

91         Others you will find that wish to gain your confidence as well as that of their people: every time they are sent back to temptation they succumb thereto: if they withdraw not from you nor give you (guarantees) of peace besides restraining their hands seize them and slay them.  Wherever ye get them: in their case We have provided you with a clear argument against them

 

 

If Enemy Breaks Treaty

9:11      But (even so) if they repent establish regular prayers and practice regular charity they are your brethren in faith: (thus) do We explain signs in detail for those who understand.

12         But if they violate their oaths after their covenant and taunt you for your faith fight ye the chiefs of unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may be restrained

13         Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths plotted to expel the apostle and took the aggressive by being the first (to assault) you?  Do ye fear them?  Nay it is Allah whom ye should more justly fear if ye believe!

14         Fight them and Allah will punish them by your hands cover them with shame help you (to victory) over them heal the breasts of believers.

15         And still the indignation of their hearts. For Allah will turn (in mercy) To whom He will; and Allah is All-Knowing All-Wise.

16         Or think ye that ye Shall be abandoned as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might and main and take none for friends and protectors except Allah His apostle and the (community of) believers?  But Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.

 

47:22    Then is it to be expected of you if ye will do no mischief in the land and break your ties of kith and kin?

 

 

Enemies Turn Theirs Backs

48:22    If the Unbelievers should fight you they would certainly turn their backs; then would they find neither protector nor helper.

23         (Such has been) the practice.  (Approved) of Allah already in the past: no change wilt thou find in the practice (approved) of Allah.

24         And it is He who has restrained their hands from you and your hand from them in the midst of Mecca after that He gave you the victory over them.  And Allah sees well all that ye do.

25         They are the ones who denied revelation and hindered you from the Sacred Mosque and the sacrificial animals detained from reaching their place of sacrifice.  Had there not been believing men and believing women whom ye did not know that ye were trampling down and on whose account a crime would have accrued to you without (your) knowledge.  (Allah would have allowed you to force your way but He held back your hands) that He may admit to His mercy whom He will.  If they had been apart We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers among them with a grievous punishment.

26         While the Unbelievers got up in their hearts heat and cant--the heat and cant of Ignorance--Allah sent down His tranquillity to His Apostle and to the Believers and made them stick close to the command of self-restraint; and well were they entitled to it and worthy of it. And Allah has full knowledge of all things.

 

3:25      And Allah turned back the Unbelievers for (all) their fury: no advantage did they gain and enough is Allah for the Believers in their fight. And Allah is full of Strength Able to enforce His Will.

26         And those of the people of the Book who aided them Allah did take them down from their strongholds and cast terror into their hearts (so that) some ye slew and some ye made prisoners.

 

Terror In The Hearts Of Unbelievers

8:12      Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."

13         This because they contended against Allah and His apostle: if any contend against Allah and His apostle Allah is strict in punishment.

14         Thus (will it be said): "Taste ye then of the (punishment): for those who resist Allah is the penalty of the fire."

15         O ye who believe! when ye meet the unbelievers in hostile array never turn your backs to them.

16         If any do turn his back to them on such a day unless it be in a stratagem of war or to retreat to a troop (of his own) He draws on himself the wrath of Allah and his abode is Hell and evil refuge (indeed)!

17         It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust) it was not thy act but Allah's: in order that He might test the believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He who heareth and knoweth (all things).

18         That and also because Allah is He who makes feeble the plans and stratagems of the unbelievers.

19         (O unbelievers!) if ye prayed for victory and judgment now hath the judgment come to you: if ye desist (from wrong) it will be best for you: if ye return (to the attack) so shall We.  Not the least good will your forces be to you even if they were multiplied: for verily Allah is with those who believe.

 

Spoils Of War

8:1        They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war.  Say: "(Such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the apostle: so fear Allah and keep straight the relations between yourselves: obey Allah and His apostle if ye do believe."

2           For believers are those who when Allah is mentioned feel a tremor in their hearts and when they hear His signs rehearsed find their faith strengthened and put (all) their trust in their Lord.

3           Who establish regular prayers and spend (freely) out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance:

4           Such in truth are the believers: they have grades of dignity with their Lord and forgiveness and generous sustenance.

5           Just as thy Lord ordered thee out of thy house in truth even though a party among the believers disliked it.

6           Disputing with thee concerning the truth after it was made manifest as if they were being driven to death and they (actually) saw it.

7           Behold! Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties that it should be yours: ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours but Allah willed to justify the truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of the unbelievers.

8           That He might justify and prove falsehood false distasteful though it be to those in guilt.

9           Remember ye implored the assistance of your Lord and He answered you: "I will assist you with a thousand of the angels ranks on ranks."

10         Allah made it but a message of hope and an assurance to your heart: (in any case) there is no help except from Allah: and Allah is exalted in power wise.

 

47:4      Therefore when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight) smite at their necks; at length when ye have thoroughly subdued them bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.  Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you some with others.  But those who are slain in the way of Allah He will never let their deeds be lost.

5 Soon will He guide them and improve their condition.

6 And admit them to the Garden which He has announced for them.

7 O ye who believe! if ye will aid (the cause of) Allah He will aid you and plant your feet firmly.

8 But those who reject (Allah) for them is destruction and (Allah) will render their deeds astray (from their mark).

 

 

8:70      O apostle! say to those who are captives in your hands: "If Allah findeth any good in your hearts He will give you something better than what has been taken from you and He will forgive you: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful."

71         But if they have treacherous designs against thee (o apostle!) they have already been in treason against Allah and so hath He given (thee) power over them and Allah is He who hath (full) knowledge and wisdom.

72         Those who believed and adopted exile and fought for the faith with their property and their persons in the cause of Allah as well as those who gave (them) asylum and aid these are (all) friends and protectors one of another.  As to those who believed but came not into exile ye owe no duty of protection to them until they seek your aid in religion it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom ye have a treaty of mutual alliance: and (remember) Allah seeth all that ye do.

73         The unbelievers are protectors one of another: unless ye do this (protect each other) there would be tumult and oppression on earth and great mischief.

74         Those who believe and adopt exile and fight for the faith in the cause of Allah as well as those who give (them) asylum and aid these are (all) in very truth the believers: for them is the forgiveness of sins and a provision most generous.

75         And those who accept faith subsequently and adopt exile and fight for the faith in your company they are of you.  But kindred by blood have prior rights against each other in the Book of Allah.  Verily Allah is well acquainted with all things

 

 

Unjust Killing Not Allowed

4:92      Never should a believer kill a believer; but (if it so happens) by mistake (compensation is due): if one (so) kills a believer it is ordained that he should free a believing slave and pay compensation to the deceased's family unless they remit it freely.  If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you and he was a believer the freeing of a believing slave (is enough).  If he belonged to a people with whom ye have a treaty of mutual alliance compensation should be paid to his family and a believing slave be freed.  For those who find this beyond their means (is prescribed) a fast for two months running: by way of repentance to Allah: for Allah hath all knowledge and all wisdom.

93         If a man kills a believer intentionally his recompense is Hell to abide therein (for ever): and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him.

94         O ye who believe! when ye go abroad in the cause of Allah investigate carefully and say not to anyone who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!"  Coveting the perishable goods of this life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant.  Even thus were ye yourselves before till Allah conferred on you His favors: therefore carefully investigate for Allah is well aware of all that ye do.

95         Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons.  Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home): unto all (in faith) hath Allah promised good: but those who strive and fight hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward.--

96         Ranks specially bestowed by Him and Forgiveness and Mercy.  For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.

 

 

Do Not Fight With Those Who Don’t Fight With You.

60:8      Allah forbids you not with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just.

9           Allah only forbids you with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith and drive you out of your homes and support (others) in driving you out from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances) that do wrong.

 

 

The Martyrs Are Alive

3:165    What! when a single disaster smites you although ye smote (your enemies) with one twice as great do ye say? "Whence is this?"  Say (to them): "It is from yourselves: for Allah hath power over all things."

166       What ye suffered on the day the two armies met was with the leave of Allah in order that He might test the believers.

167       And the Hypocrites also.  These were told: "Come fight in the way of Allah or (at least) drive (the foe from your city)."  They say: "had we known how to fight we should certainly have followed you.  They were that day nearer to unbelief than to faith saying with their lips what was not in their hearts.  But Allah hath full knowledge of all they conceal.

168       (They are) the ones that say (of their brethren slain) while they themselves sit (at ease): "If only they had listened to us they would not have been slain."  Say: "Avert death from your own selves if ye speak the truth."

169       Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead.  Nay they live finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord.

 

Fight Amongst Muslims

49:9      If two parties among the Believers fall into a quarrel make ye peace between them: but if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other then fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of Allah; but if it complies then make peace between them with justice and be fair: for Allah loves those who are fair (and just).

10         The believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers: And fear Allah that ye may receive Mercy.

 

Victory

48:1      Verily We have granted thee a manifest Victory:

2           That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfil His favor to thee; and guide thee on the Straight Way;

3           And that Allah may help thee with powerful help.

4           It is He who sent down Tranquillity into the hearts of the Believers that they may Add Faith to their Faith; for to Allah belong the Forces of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom

 

Paradise Is The Reward For Martyrs

9:111    Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their good; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth through the Law the Gospel and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah?  Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme

 

Invite To Faith

28:86    And thou hadst not expected that the Book would be sent to thee except as a Mercy from thy Lord: therefore lend not thou support in any way to those who reject (Allah's Message).

87         And let nothing keep thee back from the Signs of Allah after they have been revealed to thee: and invite (men) to thy Lord and be not of the company of those who join gods with Allah

 

57:28    O ye that believe! fear Allah and believe in His apostle and He will bestow on you a double portion of His Mercy: He will provide for you a light by which ye shall walk (straight in your path) and He will forgive you (your past): For Allah is Oft-Forgiving.  Most Merciful:

 

34: 48   Say: "Verily my Lord doth cast the (mantle of) Truth (over His servants) He that has full knowledge of (all) that is hidden."

49         Say: "The Truth has arrived and Falsehood neither creates anything new nor restores anything."

50         Say: "If I am astray I only stray to the loss of my own soul: but if I receive guidance it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me: it is He Who hears all things and is (ever) near."

51         If thou couldst but see when they will quake with terror: but then there will be no escape (for them) and they will be seized from a position (quite) near.

52         And they will say "We do believe (now) in the (truth)": but how could they receive (faith) from a position (so) far off

53         Seeing that they did reject faith (entirely) before and that they (continually) cast (slanders) on the Unseen from a position far off?

54         And between them and their desires is placed a barrier as was done in the past with their partisans: for they were indeed in suspicious (disquieting) doubt.

 

Die As Muslims

7:126    "But thou dost wreak thy vengeance on us simply because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they reached us!  Our Lord! pour out on us patience and constancy and take our souls unto thee as Muslims (who bow to thy will)"!

 

 

Jihad For Women

I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shouldn't we participate in Holy battles and Jihad along with you?" He replied, "The best and the most superior Jihad (for women) is Hajj which is accepted by Allah." 'Aisha added: Ever since I heard that from Allah's Apostle I have determined not to miss Hajj.

 

 

Women In Battle Field

Spoils For Women

As for the slave, he was given a little of the spoils (as a reward from the booty); as to the women, they would treat the wounded and supply water.

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 3859     Narrated byUtbah ibn AbdusSulami 

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The slain are of three types: 1) A believer who strives with his property and person in Allah's cause and when he meets the enemy fights till he is killed. (Of him the Prophet said that that martyr who has suffered trial is in Allah's tent under His Throne and is not excelled by the prophets except in the degree of the prophetic office.) 2) A believer who mingles a good deed with another which is evil, who fights with his person and property in Allah's cause, fighting till he is killed when he meets the enemy. (Of him the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that it is a cleansing agent which has obliterated his sins and his errors, for the sword obliterates errors, and he will be introduced by whichever of the gates of Paradise he wishes.) 3) A hypocrite who strives with his person and property, and when he meets the enemy fights till he is killed; but that one will go to Hell, for the sword does not obliterate hypocrisy."

Darimi transmitted it.

Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause."

 

Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 259   Narrated byAbuHurayrah

He (the inquirer) said: If he fights me? He (the Prophet) remarked: Then fight (with him). He (the inquirer) again said: What do you think if I am killed? He (the Prophet) observed: You would be a martyr: He (the inquirer) said: What do you think of him (Messenger of Allah) if I kill him. He (the Prophet) said: He would be in the Fire.

 

Al-Muwatta Hadith Hadith 21.35 Things in which Martyrdom Lies

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "The nobility of the mumin is his taqwa. His deen is his noble descent. His manliness is his good character. Boldness and cowardice are but instincts which Allah places wherever He wills. The coward shrinks from defending even his father and mother, and the bold one fights for the sake of the combat not for the spoils. Being slain is but one way of meeting death, and the martyr is the one who gives himself, expectant of reward from Allah."

 

Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 1328     Narrated byAbuHurayrah

The Prophet (peace be upon him and grant him pace) said: A martyr does not suffer when he is slain any more that one of you suffers from being bitten by an ant.Transmitted by Tirmidhi.
