Discussion regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And if two groups of believers fight, make peace between them. But if one of them transgresses against the other, fight the one that transgresses…”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : [Al-Hujurat 49:9] , to whom is the command “fight” addressed?
The student : To the Muslims.
The Shaykh : Good, where is this?
The student : It is not present.
The Shaykh : That is the point; therefore, do not make the tear larger for the mender, but rather: “Be the wronged servant of Allah, and do not be the wrongdoer servant of Allah.”
Other than that?
And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two. But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah
وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِThe student : To the Muslims.
