2:97 - Say (O Muhammad, to mankind): Who is an enemy to Gabriel! For he it is who bath<br />

revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by Allah's leave, confirming that which was (revealed)<br />

before it, and a guidance and glad tidings to believers;<br />

2:98 - Who is an enemy to Allah, and His angels and His messengers, and Gabriel and Michael!<br />

Then, lo! Allah (Himself) is an enemy to the disbelievers.<br />

2:168 - O ye people! eat of what is on earth lawful and good; and do not follow the footsteps of the<br />

evil one for he is to you an avowed enemy. 169<br />

2:239 -If ye fear (an enemy) pray on foot or riding (as may be most convenient) but when ye are in<br />

security celebrate Allah's praises in the manner He has taught you which ye knew not<br />

(before). 272<br />

272 Verses 238-39 are parenthetical, introducing the subject of prayer in danger. This is more fully dealt with in iv. 101-03.<br />

(2.239)<br />

3:125 - "Yea" if ye remain firm and act aright even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot<br />

haste your Lord would help you with five thousand angels making a terrific onslaught. 446<br />

3:152 - Allah did indeed fulfil His promise to you when ye with His permission were about to<br />

annihilate your enemy<br />

462 The order was: not to leave the post and strictly to maintain discipline. Uhud was in the beginning a victory for the<br />

Muslims. Many of the enemy were slain, and they were retiring when a part of the Muslims, against orders, ran in<br />

pursuit, attracted by the prospects of booty. See note to iii. 121. (3.152)<br />

463 The disobedience seemed at first pleasant: they were chasing the enemy, and there was the prospect of booty. But<br />

when the gap was noticed by the enemy, they turned the flank round the hill and nearly overwhelmed the Muslims.<br />

Had it not been for Allah's grace, and the firmness of their Prophet and his immediate Companions, they would have<br />

been finished. (3.152)<br />

4:104 - And slacken not in following up the enemy: if ye are suffering hardships they are suffering<br />

similar hardships; but ye have hope from Allah while they have none. And Allah is full of<br />

knowledge and wisdom. 620<br />

620 Religion should be a source of strength and not of weakness in all our affairs. If we have to struggle hard and suffer<br />

hardships, those without faith have to do the same, with this difference, that the man of Faith is full of hope in Allah,<br />

whereas the man without Faith has nothing to sustain him. (4.104)<br />

5 :64 - The Jews say: "Allah's hand is tied up." Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the<br />

(blasphemy) they utter. Nay both His hands are widely outstretched: He giveth and spendeth<br />

(of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increaseth in<br />

most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them We have placed enmity<br />

and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war Allah doth<br />

extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And Allah loveth not those who do<br />

mischief. 772773774775<br />

775 The argument of the whole verse may be thus stated. The Jews blaspheme and mock, and because of their jealousy,<br />

the more they are taught, the more obstinate they become in their rebellion. But what good will it do to them? Their<br />

selfishness and spite sow quarrels among themselves, which will not be healed till the Day of Judgment. When they<br />

stir up wars, especially against the innocent, Allah's Mercy is poured down like a flood of water to extinguish them. But<br />

their wickedness continues to devise ever new mischief. And Allah loves not mischief or those who do mischief. (5.64)<br />

5:82 - Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and<br />

nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say: "We are Christians:"<br />

because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world<br />

and they are not arrogant. 789790<br />

8:60 - Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye<br />

may d<strong>ism</strong>ay the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom ye know not.<br />

Allah knoweth them. Whatsoever ye spend in the way of Allah it will be repaid to you in full,<br />

and ye will not be wronged.<br />

17:53 - Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are best: for Satan doth<br />

sow dissensions among them: for Satan is to man an avowed enemy. 2238<br />
