And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of
Allâh, and for those weak, ill¬treated and oppressed among men, women, and
children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people
are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for
us from You one who will help." (75) Those who believe, fight in the Cause
of Allâh, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Tâghût (Satan,).[] So
fight you against the friends of Shaitân (Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the
plot of Shaitân (Satan). (76) Have you not seen those who were told to hold
back their hands (from fighting) and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and
give Zakât but when the fighting was ordained for them, behold! a section of
them fear men as they fear Allâh or even more. They say: "Our Lord! Why
have you ordained for us fighting? Would that You had granted us respite for a
short period?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world. The
Hereafter is (far) better for him who fears Allâh, and you shall not be dealt
with unjustly even equal to a scalish thread in the long slit of a date-stone.
(77) "Wheresoever you
may be, death will overtake you even if you are in fortresses built up strong
and high!" And if some good reaches them, they say, "This is from
Allâh," but if some evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you (O
Muhammad SAW)." Say: "All things are from Allâh," so what is
wrong with these people that they fail to understand any word? (78) Whatever of good
reaches you, is from Allâh, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself.
And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) as a Messenger to mankind, and Allâh is
Sufficient as a Witness.[] (79)
