متى أذن القرآن للمسلمين أن يدافعوا عن أنفسهم؟
عاش المسلمون في مكة أذىً طويلًا، ثم هاجروا إلى المدينة. فنزل الإذن بالدفاع لمن ظُلِموا، لا ليبدأوا ظلمًا جديدًا.
هذا يعلمنا أن القوة في الإسلام ليست اعتداءً؛ بل حماية للناس ورد للظلم بقدر الحاجة ومع العدل.
أذن الله للمظلومين بالدفاع عن أنفسهم.
من الكبير الذي تطلب مساعدته إذا تعرضت لظلم؟
اخبر بالغًا موثوقًا عن أي أذى بدل أن ترد بالأذى.
لماذا في رأيكم صبر المسلمون كل هذه السنين قبل أن يُؤذن لهم بالدفاع؟
المصادر: القرآن الكريم: سورة الحج 22:39.
The Muslims bore thirteen years of harm in Mecca without striking back, because the Prophet ﷺ told them to be patient. When they migrated to Madinah and built their homes, Quraysh kept threatening to attack them. Only then did Allah permit them to defend themselves and their families. Islam does not begin an attack — and it does not leave its people wronged with no protection.
Strength is for protecting homes, not for starting an attack.
For thirteen years in Mecca the Muslims bore severe harm — torture, and the seizing of their homes and wealth — and not one of them raised a sword, because the Prophet ﷺ told them to be patient and to hold back. Then they migrated to Madinah and built a community that was safe, and still Quraysh sent threats and promised to attack them. At that point — and only then — permission came down to defend themselves, their families and their new home. Islam is a religion of peace that does not begin an attack, but it does not leave its own to be wronged without protection.
Allah says why the permission came: ﴿أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا﴾ — “Permission is given to those who are fought, because they were wronged.”
