Tawba 7-12
7- HOW WOULD THE IDOLATERS HAVE A COVENANT WITH ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER, EXCEPT THOSE YOU MADE COVENANT WITH BY THE SACRED MOSQUE, AS LONG AS THEY ARE STRAIGHT WITH YOU, BE STRAIGHT WITH THEM, FOR ALLAH LOVES THE PIOUS.
8- HOW WOULD YOU, WHILE IF THEY HAVE POWER OVER YOU THEY WILL NOT HAVE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR A BLOOD RELATIONSHIP OR A COVENANT, THEY PLEASE YOU WITH WHAT THEY SAY, BUT THEIR HEARTS DO NOT APPROVE, AND MOST OF THEM ARE WICKED.
9- THEY SOLD ALLAH’S AYAHS FOR A MISERLY PRICE, AND THEY ARE OBSTRUCTING HIS WAY, EVIL IS WHAT THEY DO.
10- THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF BLOOD RELATIONS NOR THE COVENANTS AS FAR AS A BELIEVER IS CONCERNED, THEY ARE THE TRANSGRESSORS.
11- SHOULD THEY REPENT, UPHOLD THE SALAH, GIVE THE ZAKAH, THEN THEY ARE YOUR BROTHERS IN RELIGION, WE ARE DETAILING OUR AYAHS FOR THE PEOPLE OF KNOWLEDGE.
12- BUT SHOULD THEY BREAK THEIR PROMISES AFTER GIVING THEIR COVENANT, AND ATTACK YOUR RELIGION, THEN FIGHT THE LEADERS OF DISBELIEVE, FOR THEY NEVER HONOUR THEIR COVENANT, SO THAT THEY MAY STOP.
These are Ayahs of warning for the Muslims about the Idolaters. These warnings were not for then only, but they are for all times. The warning is that they are not to be trusted to fulfill agreements and treaties with the Muslims, and they do not have regard for other causes of compassion between people such as blood relations or close friendship. Once they have power and ability and their need for the treaties is over, they will have no reason to honour them. If they do not honour blood relations, they will not honour friendships or old favours etc.
The disbelievers might please or try to please the believers through what they say, but this does not reflect their feeling or their intentions. Allah the Highest said about this: “AND OF PEOPLE THOSE WHOM YOU LIKE WHAT THEY SAY, AND CALL UPON ALLAH TO BEAR WITNESS OVER WHAT IS IN THEIR HEARTS WHILE THEY ARE THE WORST ENEMIES * WHEN HE TURNS HIS BACK TO YOU, HE GOES THROUGH THE EARTH SPREADING MISCHIEF, DESTROYING CROPS AND LIFE, AND ALLAH DOES NOT LIKE MISCHIEF”. (S:2 A:204-205)
Selling is to exchange what we have for money, goods or benefits. The disbelievers sold the religion sent to them for a miserly price or whatever gain they might have in this life.
The way to deal with this situation is to fight the heads of the disbelievers first of all. The heads lead the rest, they do the thinking and planning, therefore to destroy the head renders the rest of the body weak and useless.
At our present time, the Muslims have treaties and agreements with the disbelievers, they might forge alliances with them and they might rely on them for their security, not realizing that they are the most likely source of danger. They are letting the wolf guard the sheep. Nice and sweet words might allure us and prevent us from seeing what is in their hearts and minds.
We as believers should trust what Allah the Highest tells us, and warns us about. We just have to read history and learn from it.
The Crusade Wars showed us extreme cruelty and brutality, and so did the relatively modern colonization of the old and new worlds.
The killing in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Chechnya and China bear witness to this truth today. We find that our safety and security as Muslims are at present with those who show the greatest hostility to us and most rejection of our religion.
