PEACE:<br />

4:90 - Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace) or those<br />

who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own<br />

people. If Allah had pleased He could have given them power over you and they would have<br />

fought you: therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not and (instead) send you<br />

(guarantees of) peace then Allah hath opened no way for you (to war against them). 608608<br />

608 Except: the exception refers to "seize them and slay them", the death penalty for repeated desertion. Even after such<br />

desertion, exemption is granted in two cases. One is where the deserter took asylum with a tribe with whom there was<br />

a treaty of peace and amity. Presumably such a tribe (even though outside the pale of Islam) might be trusted to keep<br />

the man from fighting against the forces of Islam-in the modern phrase, to disarm him and render him harmless. The<br />

second case for exemption is where the man from his own heart desires never to take up arms against Islam, though<br />

he does not wish to join the forces of Islam, to fight against a hostile tribe (perhaps his own) fighting against Islam. But<br />

he must make a real approach, giving guarantees of his sincerity. In the modern phrase he would be "on parole". But<br />

this provision is much milder than that in modern military codes, which grant the privilege only to enemy prisoners, not<br />

to those who have deserted from the army granting them parole. The Hypocrites were in that position, but humanity as<br />

well as policy treated them with great leniency. (4.90)<br />

5:16 - Wherewith Allah guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety and<br />

leadeth them out of darkness by His Will unto the light guideth them to a Path that is Straight.<br />

8:61 - But if the enemy incline towards peace do thou (also) incline towards peace and trust in<br />

Allah: for He is the one that heareth and knoweth (all things). 1228<br />

1228 While we must always be ready for the good fight lest it be forced on us, even in the midst of the fight we must always<br />

be ready for peace if there is any inclination towards peace on the other side. There is no merit merely in a fight by<br />

itself. It should be a joyful duty not for itself, but to establish the reign of peace and righteousness and Allah's Law.<br />

(8.61)<br />

9:26- But Allah did pour His calm on the apostle and on the believers and sent down forces which<br />

ye saw not: He punished the unbelievers: thus doth He reward those without faith. 1276<br />
