Allah said,
﴿وَلاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ
أَن صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَن تَعْتَدُواْ﴾
(and let not the hatred of some people in (once) stopping you from Al-Masjid Al-Haram
(at Makkah) lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part).) The meaning
of this Ayah is apparent, as it commands: Let not the hatred for some people, who
prevented you from reaching the Sacred House in the year of Hudaybiyyah, make you
transgress Allah's Law and commit injustice against them in retaliation. Rather,
rule as Allah has commanded you, being just with every one. We will explain a similar
Ayah later on,
﴿وَلاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ
عَلَى أَلاَّ تَعْدِلُواْ اعْدِلُواْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَى﴾
(And let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that
is nearer to piety,) which commands: do not be driven by your hatred for some people
into abandoning justice, for justice is ordained for everyone, in all situations.
Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Zayd bin Aslam said, "The Messenger of Allah and his
Companions were in the area of Al-Hudaybiyyah when the idolators prevented them
from visiting the House, and that was especially hard on them. Later on, some idolators
passed by them from the east intending to perform `Umrah. So the Companions of the
Prophet said, `Let us prevent those (from `Umrah) just as their fellow idolators
prevented us.' Thereafter, Allah sent down this Ayah.'' Ibn Abbas and others said
that "Shana'an'' refers to enmity and hate. Allah said next,
﴿وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الْبرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى
وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ﴾
(Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa; but do not help one another in sin
and transgression.) Allah commands His believing servants to help one another perform
righteous, good deeds, which is the meaning of `Al-Birr', and to avoid sins, which
is the meaning of `At-Taqwa'. Allah forbids His servants from helping one another
in sin, `Ithm' and committing the prohibitions. Ibn Jarir said that, "Ithm means
abandoning what Allah has ordained, while transgression means overstepping the limits
that Allah set in your religion, along with overstepping what Allah has ordered
concerning yourselves and others.'' Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas bin Malik said
that the Messenger of Allah said,
«انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا»
(Support your brother whether he was unjust or the victim of injustice.) He was
asked, "O Messenger of Allah! We know about helping him when he suffers injustice,
so what about helping him when he commits injustice'' He said,
«تَحْجُزُهُ وَتَمْنَعُهُ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ
فَذَاكَ نَصْرُه»
(Prevent and stop him from committing injustice, and this represents giving support
to him.) Al-Bukhari recorded this Hadith through Hushaym. Ahmad recorded that one
of the Companions of the Prophet narrated the Hadith,
«الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ
وَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنَ الَّذِي لَا يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ
وَلَا يَصْبِرُ عَلى أَذَاهُم»
(The believer who mingles with people and is patient with their annoyance, earns
more reward than the believer who does not mingle with people and does not observe
patience with their annoyance.) Muslim recorded a Hadith that states,
«مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى هُدًى كَانَ لَهُ
مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يَنْقُصُ
ذلِكَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا، وَمَنْ دَعَا إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ
الْإِثْمِ مِثْلُ آثَامِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، لَا يَنْقُصُ
ذلِكَ مِنْ آثَامِهِمْ شَيْئًا»
(He who calls to a guidance, will earn a reward similar to the rewards of those
who accept his call, until the Day of Resurrection, without decreasing their rewards.
Whoever calls to a heresy, will carry a burden similar to the burdens of those who
accept his call, until the Day of Resurrection, without decreasing their own burdens.)
﴿حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ
الْمَيْتَةُ وَالْدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ
وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَآ أَكَلَ
السَّبُعُ إِلاَّ مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ وَأَنْ تَسْتَقْسِمُواْ
بِالاٌّزْلاَمِ ذَلِكُمْ فِسْقٌ الْيَوْمَ يَئِسَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن دِينِكُمْ
فَلاَ تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَاخْشَوْنِ الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ
عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الأِسْلاَمَ دِيناً فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ فِى مَخْمَصَةٍ
غَيْرَ مُتَجَانِفٍ لإِثْمٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴾
(3. Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maytah (the dead animals), blood, the flesh
of swine, and that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for other than Allah,
and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong
fall, or by the goring of horns ـand that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild
animal ـunless you are able to slaughter it (before its death) - and that which
is sacrificed (slaughtered) on An-Nusub (stone altars). (Forbidden) also is to make
decisions with Al-Azlam (arrows) (all) that is Fisq (disobedience and sin). This
day, those who disbelieved have given up all hope of your religion; so fear them
not, but fear Me. This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My
favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But as for him who
is forced by severe hunger, with no inclination to sin (such can eat these above
mentioned animals), then surely, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.)
