يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْحَرَامِ قِتَالٍ فِيهِ ۖ قُلْ قِتَالٌ فِيهِ
كَبِيرٌ ۖ وَصَدٌّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَكُفْرٌۢ بِهِۦ وَٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ
وَإِخْرَاجُ أَهْلِهِۦ مِنْهُ أَكْبَرُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ
مِنَ ٱلْقَتْلِ ۗ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَن
دِينِكُمْ إِنِ ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ ۚ وَمَن يَرْتَدِدْ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَيَمُتْ
وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

217b. But to turn (men) from the
Way of Allah, and to disbelieve in Him and in the Inviolable Place of
Worship, and to expel His people thence, is a greater with Allah; and
persecution is worse than killing.

Commentary
SabiiLIllaahi – (the Way of
God Almighty), its aim is Islam. It is the selected Path of God Almighty. The
human being can arrange his World and the Hereafter by going on this Straight
Path.
We have explained in
the previous lesson that once; in warfare a few Muslims killed an Infidel. It
happened unknowingly during a sacred month. The Infidels reproached and taunted
them due to it. Allah Almighty has commanded in these verses that although, it
is a sin to fight during any sacred month, but those sins are comparatively
bigger which are committed by these Infidels. Some kinds of sins are being
submitted in today’s lesson.
Saddun ‘an- SabiiLIllaahi – (to turn (men)
from the Way of Allah) that is to say, “to prevent the people from embracing
Islam and torture them with cruelty who have embraced Islam, to threaten them
who incline to embrace Islam”. The Infidels of Makkah used to
commit all these evils. They used to forbid the people from believing in the
Messenger of Islam (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). They used
to beat them and lay them down on the hot stones who embraced Islam. They used
to prevent them from leaving Makkah who wished to migrate from
this sacred Place.
Kufrum-biHii – (to disbelieve
in Him), second sin, which the Infidels used to commit, was “denial from Allah
Almighty, refusal from His Existence and Attributes”.
‘Al-Masjidil-Haraami – (the Inviolable Place Inviolable Place
‘Ikh-raaju
‘ahlihii – (to expel the people from Makkah, who were its
residents), the Infidels of Makkah tyrannized and
oppressed the Muslims as much that they were compelled ultimately to
leave Makkah. These poor and helpless Muslims took refuge in Madinah leaving
behind their families and properties and ran away to save their lives. How big
this sin is which was committed by the Idolaters of Makkah?
‘Al-fitnatu –
(the persecution, mischief, sedition, plundering and turning the people
away from the true religion) the Infidels of Makkah had been
creating these entire evils but they did not consider them as their crimes.
Allah Almighty commands, “Killing is reasonable in all respect while the
situations arise as such”.
