Page 433 - Learning from the Qur'an

Those who were left behind were glad to stay behind the
Messenger of Allah. They did not want to strive with their wealth
and themselves in the Way of Allah. They said, 'Do not go out to
fight in the heat.' Say: 'The Fire of Hell is much hotter, if they only
understood.' (Qur'an, 9:81)

NOT TO ASK FOR PERMISSION
TO LAG BEHIND IN THE STRUGGLE
Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day do not ask you to
excuse them from striving with their wealth and themselves. Allah
knows the people who guards against people. (Qur'an, 9:44)

TO STRUGGLE FOR THOSE MEN, WOMEN
AND CHILDREN WHO ARE OPPRESSED
What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of Allah
– for those men, women and children who are oppressed and say,
'Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are
wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from
You!'? (Qur'an, 4:75)
TO CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE UNTIL THERE
IS NO CORRUPTION LEFT ON EARTH
Fight them until there is no more persecution and the religion is
Allah's alone. If they stop, Allah sees what they do. (Qur'an, 8:39)
TO USE DIFFERENT METHODS
IN THE STRUGGLE
Remember when you left your family early in the day to instal
the believers in their battle stations. Allah is All-Hearing, All-
Knowing. (Qur'an, 3:121)

TO SEEK REFUGE FROM SATAN IN ALLAH
If an evil impulse from satan provokes you, seek refuge in Allah.
He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (Qur'an, 7:200)
