هفت دستور مهم برای مقابله با دشمن

خداوند در این سه آیهء رعایت هفت موضوع را در جنگ‌های اسلامی و در هنگام مقابله با دشمن» بر موْمنان واجب کرده است: ۱- ثابت قدم بودن ۲ یاد کردن فراوان خدا ٣_ اطاعت از خدا و پیامبر(ص) ٣_ ترک نزاع و کشمکش ه- داشتن صبر و استقامت ء_ بیرون نرفتن از روی هوی‌پرستی و خودنمایی نکردن در برابر مردم ۷- باز نداشتن مردم را از راه خدا. مجموع این مور هفت‌گانه, قانون کامل و جامع نظامی و جنگی است که چیزی از لیات دستورهای مهم جنگی را فروگذار نکرده است. اگر در جنگ‌هایی که در زمان پیامبر(ص) واقع شد (مانند بدر» احد» خندق» حنین و...)» به دقت تأمل گردد این نکته روشن می‌شود که اگر مسلمانان در جنگی پیروز شدندء به دلیل رعایت این دستورها و اهمیت دادن به آنها بود و اگر در جنگی شکست خوردند.ء به دلیل آن بود که این دستورها یا برخی از آنها را رعایت نکردند و به آن اهمیت ندادند.

    And never let them avert you from the verses of Allah after they have been revealed to you. And invite [people] to your Lord. And never be of those who associate others with Allah.

  • وَأَنِ ٱحْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَٱحْذَرْهُمْ أَن يَفْتِنُوكَ عَنۢ بَعْضِ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُصِيبَهُم بِبَعْضِ ذُنُوبِهِمْ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَفَٰسِقُونَ

    And do not turn your cheek [in contempt] toward people and do not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful.

    Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do.
