Anam 108
108- AND DO NOT SWEAR AT WHAT THEY WORSHIP OTHER THAN ALLAH, THEN THEY WILL SWEAR AT ALLAH OUT OF IGNORANT TRANSGRESSION. WE BEAUTIFIED THE DEEDS OF EVERY NATION IN THEIR EYES, THEN THEY WILL BE RETURNED BACK TO THEIR LORD, AND HE WILL TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT THEY DID.
Allah the Highest is forbidding the believers to swear at the Idols and other things the disbelievers worship, for the disbelievers will retaliate by swearing at and insulting Allah the Highest. This is not to do any act which leads to greater harm. There is a principle in Islamic Feqh and Shariaa which says that preventing harm comes before gaining benefit. I am not saying that swearing at of insulting the Idols in beneficial.
This Ayah also means that the consequences of our actions should be thought out through before the action is done, and make sure that it does not involve others. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Cursed is he who swears at his parents”. They said: “Allah’s messenger, and how a person will swear at his parents?” He said: “He swears at a man’s father and the other person swears at his father, and he wears at a man’s mother, and he swears at his mother in retaliation”. (M: Eman; 145 & T: Ber; 4 & A: 2; 164)
This is also not of the good manners of the believers, about whom Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “The believer is not a person who insults or curses”. (T: Ber; 48 & A: 1; 405,416)
