2238 This command refers to two situations. (1) Even to your enemies and the enemies of Allah you should speak fair: who
are you to judge others? Judgment belongs to Allah alone, for He knows you (i.e., all mankind) best, and your
personal knowledge is at best imperfect. And Satan is always trying to divide mankind. (2) Amongst yourselves, also
you should not entertain suspicions, but speak politely according to the best standards of human speech. A false or
unkind word may destroy all your efforts at building up unity, because the forces of disruption are more numerous than
the forces of unity. (17.53)
35:6 - Verily Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his adherents
that they may become Companions of the Blazing Fire. 3878
3878 Evil is our enemy and should be treated as such. It is really foreign to our nature, however much it may disguise itself
to deceive us as our friend, or a part of our own nature. Personifying the Spirit of Evil, we may say that he wants us to
share in his own damnation. Shall we allow ourselves to fall into his snare? (35.6)
60:1 - O ye who believe! take not My enemies and yours as friends (or protectors) offering them
(your) love even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you and have (on the
contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes) (simply) because ye
believe in Allah your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good
Pleasure (take them not as friends) holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them:
for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has
strayed from the Straight Path. 54095410
5409 The immediate occasion for this was a secret letter sent by one Hatib, a Muhajir, from Madinah, to the Pagans at
Makkah, in most friendly terms, seeking for their protection on behalf of his children and relatives left behind in
Makkah. The letter was intercepted, and he confessed the truth. He was forgiven as he told the truth and his motive
did not appear to be heinous, but this instruction was given for future guidance. This was shortly before the conquest
of Makkah, but the principle is of universal application. You cannot be on terms of secret intimacy with the enemies of
your Faith and people, who are persecuting your Faith and seeking to destroy your Faith and you. You may not do so
even for the sake of your relatives as it compromises the life and existence of your whole community. (60.1)
5410 Such was the position of the Muslim community in Madinah after the Hijrat and before the conquest of Makkah. (60.1)
64:14 - O ye who believe! truly among your wives and your children are (some that are) enemies
to yourselves: so beware of them! But if ye forgive and overlook and cover up (their faults)
verily Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 54945495
5494 In some cases the demands of families, i.e., wife and children may conflict with a man's moral and spiritual
convictions and duties. In such cases he must guard against the abandonment of his convictions, duties, and ideals to
their requests or desires. But he must not treat them harshly. He must make reasonable provision for them, and if they
persist in opposing his clear duties and convictions, he must forgive them and not expose them to shame or ridicule,
while at the same time holding on to his clear duty. Such cases occurred when godly men undertook exile from their
native city of Makkah to follow the Faith in Madinah. In some cases their families murmured, but all came right in the
end. (64.14)
Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 2.105
Different ways of offering salatul Khauf:
1. If the enemy is not in the direction of the qiblah, then the imam should lead a group in the performance of one rak'ah
after which he should wait until they complete the second rak'ah by themselves, and then, they should go and face the
enemy. And the second group should come and the imam would lead them in salah while he is performing his second
rak'ah. He should again wait for them to complete another rak'ah by themselves before leading them in the
salutations.
Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 21.7
Prohibition against Travelling with the Qur'an in Enemy Territory
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar said that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade travelling with a Qur'an in the land of the enemy. Malik
commented, "That is out of fear that the enemy will get hold of it."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 1243 Narrated by
AbuBakrah
The Prophet (peace be upon him) offered the noon prayer in time of danger. Some of the people formed a
row behind him and others arrayed themselves against the enemy. He led them in two rak'ahs and then he
uttered the salutation. Then those who were with him went away and took the position of their companions
