Just as surah 2 is mainly about causes of conflicts and their resolutions so is surah 3 mainly about people as random crowds and as societies. How social movements are started by a few and reach success if their aim is high ie formation of a society or its reformation for some higher objective or goal. As explained the quran is book of revelation for a revolution. It talks about rise and fall of nations and the reasons behind that. The stories of past generations are given as examples of how they did it and what are lessons in there for future generations. It is for this reason the quran should not be treated as book of myths and legends or superstition etc. There are no magic stories in the quran just simple ideas and practical ways to implement them to bring about and maintain a good human society that is peaceful, progressive and prosperous. It is a program about making this world a paradise in the hope of better hereafter. The quran advises that life can only be better if humanity lives as a society and also give it goal of peace with terms and conditions to ensure that such a society can be brought about by people by methods given in the quran. The quran is a complete course of actions for people to follow and be successful.

Surah 3 AALI IMRAN=People and Society

Proclaim in the name of Allah the gracious, the merciful

Alif Laam Meem
That Allah is He other than whom there is no sovereign of this universe, the ever living sustainer of all that exists.
He sent for you this constitution for a set purpose of peace between mankind confirming that which went before it, just as He sent the Toraah and the Injeel before this as guidance for the mankind likewise He sent this criterion as a standard for mankind to abide by.
Surely for such as live outside the terms and conditions set out by Allah for the good of mankind there awaits a terrible suffering as a result of their own actions because Allah has set up a strict rule based upon law of consequences for peoples’ own actions,
Nothing escapes the application of law of Allah in the earth nor in the heaven.
He it is Who alone develops you biologically, psychologically and sociologically in your environments through set out laws as He programmed the natural processes. So none is God but He alone, the mighty ruler of the kingdom of the universe.
He it is Who has sent for you this constitution which contains goals and guidelines that are foundational for humanity to live in peace and progress, they are foundation of this constitution and anything outside that is illusionary and false. Despite this fact those who harbour harmful and destructive ambitions and desires in their minds against humanity follow the opposite direction to these goals and guidelines looking for ways and means to cause divisions and wars between people, however none can make evident to people of knowledge their intended targets and motives save Allah. Therefore those well grounded in knowledge say, we commit to working for peace and prosperity of mankind on the basis of this constitution that only this constitution is from our Lord not other opposing things that people attribute to Him. Yet none will take heed save such as have developed their critical faculty and use it to understand things properly,
our Lord, let not our minds deviate from Your set goals and guidelines after you have made them evident for us and grant us more knowledge from Yourself for our peace and prosperity because You are the grantor of bounties in abundance.
Our Lord, only Your constitution is capable of gathering all people under one rule for a time there is no doubt about it because abiding by constitution of Allah never fails to deliver.
Therefore those who declare war against installation of constitution of Allah, of no benefit at all will be for them their possessions and their ideological supporters against advice of Allah. For they are the ones who fuel the fire of hatred between mankind so they are bound to end up consumes by it.
Their end result will be the same as that of people of Pharaoh and their ideological predecessors who opposed installation of Our constitution, that is how caught up with them declared law of Allah in form of consequences of their harmful and destructive actions. The law of Allah is strict indeed in enforcing the consequences of peoples’ actions.
Say to those who declare war against the rule of Allah, soon you will be overwhelmed by your own atrocities against each other and driven together towards hell of your own creation and that is a terrible state to be in.
Indeed there is between you a clear ideological demarcation separating you into two factions arranged against each other in battle. One side is struggling for installing the constitution of Allah and the other fighting against it. To them both it appeared as if they have been opponents battling each other continuously. However Allah always aided such people through His set out law as worked according to it. Surely therein is a lesson for those who want to be insightful about laws of Allah that are at work in the universe.
People have been furnished with drives and motives to fulfil their needs and wants as communities through the fundamental goals and guidelines with piles upon piles of gold and silver and strength of forces and abundance of various kinds of blessings such as whatever is produced by the earth. Even though such is the extent of provisions for them in life of this world yet it is Allah alone in whose law rests security of mankind .
Say, shall I tell you the better way of getting and using things than the way you get and use them? For those who work according to constitution of Allah for peace and prosperity of mankind there are going to be blissful states in which will flow things of need and desire like rivers wherein they will live in company of like minded constructive and hard working people and that is how they will prove that they have achieved the goal set for them by Allah and that is how Allah shows to mankind that He is fully aware of those who abide by His constitution in His kingdom.
It is such who say, our Lord, we indeed commit to working for peace and prosperity of mankind therefore protect us from inflicting harms upon each other in future as well as end our suffering due to the fire of our self created hatred of the past between us.
They are steadfast in purpose and true to their words in deed as well as take a stand for what is right according to law of Allah and is good for humanity and that is how they work hard for the benefit of others and to protect others from harm and destruction because they waste no time but start working for removal of ills from society straight away.
That is how Allah makes evident that there is no ruler in this kingdom of universe other than He and that is how bear witness as an example the people in administration of divine kingdom as well as those well grounded in knowledge standing firmly for justice. Therefore you should know there is no God save Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
Surely as far as Allah is concerned, the main goal of this constitution is peace and prosperity for mankind. Any people who were ever given the divine books did not go against this goal but out of rebellion against each other amongst themselves after the knowledge had come to them by declaring wars against it. So those who declare wars against goals and guidelines of Allah should becomes aware that Allah is strict in holding people to His declared will by law of requital or resulting consequence.
Yet if they do not accept this set goal and instead argue with you baselessly say, I have committed myself fully to working for peace and prosperity of mankind as a goal set by Allah and so have those that support me. Then say to those who have been given the divine book but they did not read it to understand it properly, will you also commit yourselves to working for peace and prosperity of mankind along with us? If they commit to working for peace and prosperity of mankind then they too have followed the right course of action but if they turn away then your responsibility is only to proclaim declared will of Allah. And Allah is watching all that mankind are doing and facing the consequences of their actions.
So tell them about the ever active law of grievous consequences for those who declare wars on goals and guidelines of Allah by fighting against the prophets without any justification and even killing those among mankind who campaign for peace based upon social justice.
Such are the ones whose deeds are void of any good for mankind in this world and in the hereafter because they are not supported by constitution of Allah.
Have you not seen the behaviour of those who were given the divine book? When they are invited even to their own book of Allah for settlement of disputes between them, a group of them yet turns away thus they decline to be united for peace and prosperity even among themselves.
This is because they claim the fire of sectarian hatred between us will only last for a limited number of days. Thus deceive them their make beliefs taught to them by their priests in the name of God about the divine law of consequences.
Regardless what they say or do you keep drawing attention of people to the time in coming of which there is no doubt that is how they will benefit when We will gather them under Our constitution whereby each person will be rewarded fully for what one earns and there will not be done any injustice to anyone whatsoever?
Say, O Allah! Sovereign of the Kingdom of the universe, You let rise in the kingdom a people who strive for it and You let decline in the kingdom a people who fail to hold on to it, You bestow dignity upon a people who strive for it and You let fall a people into disgrace who fail to hold on to it. In Your rule of law rests whatever is good for the mankind. Surely You have set out laws to govern operations of all things.
That is how You rotate the zone of the earth under the darkness for the night to bring it under the sunlight for the day and that is how You turn the zone of the earth under the sunlight for the day to bring it under the darkness for the night, thus by set laws in the universe You bring nations to life from the dead and You let living nations decline into oblivion and that is how You provide sustenance in abundance for a people according to Your set laws.

Note; In verses like these the Quran conveys a few parallel meanings eg in this case darkness of night is also ignorance and day light is light of knowledge. Not only that but the verse also carries the idea of prosperity against scarcity. The turning of day and night also means alternation between good and bad periods of times for nations.

So let not those who claim to be committed to working for peace and prosperity of mankind therefore form alliances with those who are warmongers instead of those who claim to be committed to working for peace and prosperity of mankind, because any people who do that will lose the peace and security offered by rule according to constitution of Allah even though you may enter in peace treaty with them if they so desire as a measure to prevent open hostilities nonetheless Allah Himself reminds you that your goal must remain installation of constitution of Allah.
Say, regardless you conceal what is in your minds or reveal it, Allah will make it evident in due course. For He makes evident whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth through its working. Allah has set laws for all things to work accordingly.
The day when every nation will be confronted with whatever good it has done for each other it will be satisfied, but as for its inflictions of harm and destruction upon others, it will wish there was a very long distance between it and its deeds. Allah cautions you to be consistent with His constitution, for Allah is full of kindness towards mankind.
Say if you claim to be loyal to the constitution of Allah then support me in my mission to install the constitution of Allah, Allah too will support you by His constitution because thereby He will protect you and free you from all your problems among yourselves, for Allah grants protection through His revealed constitution.
Say, be consistent with constitution of Allah and in supporting His Messenger, but if they move away then Allah supports not those who oppose His constitution.
Indeed Allah presents for the people of the world as a lesson the human society that was brought about by people of Adam and the human society that was brought about by people of Noah as well as the society of nations that was brought about by people of Abraham and the community that was brought about by people of Imraan.
They were the ideological off-springs one from the other. That is how Allah makes His observation vastly evident.

Note; In this verse off-spring could means biological as well as ideological off-spring. Also word Adam here may well represent prophet Adam as well as his people and likewise word Noah may also represent Noah and his people. The reason for this is because this Surah is all about people and formation of society or community.

Call to mind the time when a section of people of Imraan rose up saying, O my Lord, I dedicate for Your mission all that is within my power to free people from oppression so make this effort of mine a successful one. Surely You observe peoples’ actions and make obvious their results.
At length when it brought forth the missionary team it said, my Lord, I brought forth only a small party but Allah made evident for all to see what it had brought forth and despite that it said, a large party is no match for this small party and I name it Mariam (a newly found movement) and I give it and its future ideological following in to your protection (ie I base/build this community on divine constitution) from any harmful and destructive force that has distanced itself from the constitution of Allah.
Her Lord graciously accepted its dedication and commitment and He let the party develop in to a strong community in a graceful way, for He entrusted it to the care of Zachariah for its development and training. Each time Zachariah entered in its training camp, he found it with all the material it needed for its training. One day he asked it, O Mariam! How did all this come in to your possession? It replied, it was offered by the community for mission of Allah. Surely Allah fulfils the needs of such as take steps to fulfil their needs according to the constitution of Allah without any inappropriate measures.
There and then Zachariah asked his Lord, my Lord, grant me an ideologically pure successor for leading this community from Yourself, surely You hear all requests.
The while he was busy with training session for warfare in the warfare training camp, the missionary officials called out to him saying, Allah gives you good news of an ideological successor the one who can put life in to revolution, he would be consistent with commandments from Allah and he would be a great leader for this community, a person living within set divine limits because he is a prophet and the one who will actively remove for people obstacle from their path to peace.
He said, my Lord! Where will this person come from who will be my successor because I surely am getting old and my community is not that capable and productive to produce such a person? He said, it is so but Allah works according to His own plan.
Zakariya said, my Lord in that case advise me about this changeover. He was told, your advice is that you should not effect this changeover for people for period of at least three more training sessions and instead see it through yourself and keep working a lot more for the mission of your Lord by striving hard day and night.
And thus said people authorised with mission, O Mary! Surely Allah has chosen you for His mission and kept you safe from being harmed by others or doing harm to others, and chose you as a role model for the communities of the world.
Therefore O Mary! Rise up for establishing constitution of your Lord by submitting faithfully to the task by being well prepared for the task with support of those who train.
This is of the prophetic information we are telling you O prophet and you were not with them when they were shooting with arrows during their training for warfare to ensure security of Marium (newly formed community based movement), nor were you with them when they were involved in actual battle.
That is when the people authorised by Zachariah for mission said, O Mariam (newly found community based movement)! Worry not about your future because Allah gives you the good news of an energetic young leader from Himself to succeed Zachariah, he is to be appointed as the new leader to lead this community to safety, Jesus the leader of the new movement (Maraim). He will be a person who will make a great effort to make the world better for the better award in hereafter, for he is of those who are consistent with constitution of Allah.

46 He will speak to the people regarding divine constitution and he will speak wisely with the authority of revelation and remove obstacles from the path of those who wish to join the movement for goal of peace.

Hearing this, (Mariam) the newly found community based movement said, O my Lord! How can I have a young man lead me when I have not been anointed one by anybody? One of them replied, so it is as you say but Allah brings about whatever He plans. When He decides upon a matter, He initiates the natural process for it and so it happens!
Likewise He taught him the constitution and the wisdom needed for running an administration through the Toraat and the Injeel
and sent him as a Messenger to the Children of Israel saying to them, I have brought you a constitution from your Lord. I will make out of you, the nation lying in dust, a nation like a soaring bird by blowing into it breath of new life that will make it fly high through Allah’s program for you. I will remove your blindness of ignorance and end your isolation that you are kept away as if you have an infectious skin disease thus I will raise the nation that is dead to life by Allah’s declared plan. Furthermore, I will tell you how to partake in community economics as to what you should consume as a community and what you should keep in your community storage houses so that you never face poverty as a community/nation. Surely in these are goals as proof of my prophet-hood for you if you are willing to work with me for peace.
That is how I will fulfil what was told before me in the Toraat already and thus prove lawful to you some of the things you thought were unlawful for you due to your priests and their selfmade shariah. I have brought to you the constitution from your Lord therefore be consistent with Allah’s rule and heed what I say.
Indeed Allah is my Lord as well as your Lord therefore install and serve His constitution for the good of mankind, this is the way of Allah that is firmly founded.
When Jesus felt they were ready for taking on opposition he asked them, who will support me for expanding the rule of Allah? The supporters replied, we support establishment of rule of Allah. Be you our witness that we are a people who commit ourselves to establishing peace.
Saying our Lord, we commit to working for peace according to what you have revealed and we follow Your messenger so count us with those who stand as evidence for others regarding that to see.
So they planned for action as per plan of Allah, for Allah is unique of the planners.
Call to mind when Allah said, O Jesus! I am going to let you fulfil your mission so that I raise you the people above others due to My constitution so that I give you freedom from rule of those who oppose my constitution. That is how I will let your followers rise above those who oppose My rule till the day the constitution remains established in the land and that is how you will refer to My constitution and that is how I will decide matters between you regarding which you have disputes.
Also those who wage wars against My mission will be afflicted with severe consequences in this world and the hereafter and they will have none to help.
As for those who have committed to working for peace and act to remove obstacles in the way of people to peace, they will have their full reward however Allah does not support such as transgress against His constitution.
This narration which We reveal to you from the revelations is full of lessons and wisdom to learn from.
Surely the example of mission of Jesus before Allah is just like that of mission of Adam. He evolved him as a character like moulding a piece of clay in to a shape. He told him to be as He wanted him to be for carrying out His mission and so he was.
This is the purpose of your Lord for which He raised prophets therefore you cannot be of those who are in doubt.
Yet if any people dispute with you concerning the purpose of prophet-hood after the proper knowledge has come to you say to them, come on let us draw attention to our foundations upon which we stand and your foundations upon which you stand, our administrations and your administrations and our people and your people then freely and sincerely examine and see who is living for a wrong purpose and therefore is far from grace of Allah.
Surely this Quran is the statement that defines proper purpose for humanity to live for because there is no God but Allah and Allah alone is mighty sovereign of this kingdom whose rule must be installed in His kingdom.
Yet if they turn away from the rule of Allah then Allah will expose in due course through their actions such as want to cause wars and destruction.
Say, O you people who claim to have been given the divine book! Let us work together for peace for the good of humanity, which is a universal goal for all of us and you, that we accept sovereignty of none but Allah, that we take none as a ruler beside Him, that we take not from among ourselves any masters and lords using their constitutions instead of the constitution of Allah. If they reject your invitation even on this say, keep your eyes on us for learning from us, for we have committed ourselves to working for peace in the land on basis of divine constitution to act as an exemplary community for the rest of the mankind.
So O you who claim to have been given the divine constitution! What is your purpose in arguing against us about Abraham, were theToraat and the Injeel not revealed after him? Why did you not then learn some sense from them?
Of course you should put forth arguments regarding things for which you have evidence to prove the truth but you should not argue over things for which you have no evidence whatsoever. That is how Allah makes evident that of which you have no knowledge.
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian instead he was sincerely committed to working for peace, for he was not of those who are committed to living by rule of those other than Allah.
Surely true supporters of Abraham are only those who are committed to his God set goal such as this prophet and those who commit to working for peace in the land and Allah supports only those who commit to working for peace in the land.
A group of the people of the book desires to lead you away from the goal of Allah but the fact is they lead none away from the goal of Allah save those of their own mindset and attitude such as realise not what sort of troubles they are going to end up in after they abandon the proper goal.
O people of the book, for what goal are you fighting against the guidelines of Allah when your painful suffering bears witness that you are not following the appointed goal properly?
O people of the book, for what purpose did you replace the proper goal with the false one by letting the true purpose be lost through misinterpretations and misrepresentations when you had the true message with you?
Likewise and for the same reason a group of the people of the book conspires against mission of Allah saying to each other, declare commitment to working for that which is revealed to people on mission of peace in the beginning but then give it up later on so that they too may follow suit and abandon their commitment to mission for peace.
And they tell each other, do not trust anyone unless one conforms to your own priestly set rule of law. Say, the proper constitution for rule of law is only that which is from Allah but you are ignoring the fact that any other people could also be granted the like of that which you have or that they should prove to you through its implementation that it is from your Lord. Say, surely revelation based sustenance is at discretion of Allah so He grants prosperity to any people who strive for it according to His program, for knowledge of Allah is vast.
He grants advantage over others through His revelation to any people who strive according to it, for Allah is the Owner of abundant grace.
Among the people of the book are some that if you trust them with a heap of gold will readily give it back but there are others if you trust them with a single piece of silver will not give it back you unless you constantly keep on demanding because they claim, we are not accountable for our dealing and behaviour with people outside our own community. Thus they attribute a lie to Allah despite having the divine constitution with them.
No, that is not the case rather you are accountable so be like people who fulfil their proper contracts and are consistent with Allah and humanity, for Allah approves those who are consistent with their word.
As for people who exchange the rule according to constitution of Allah and their own agreements according to it for petty gains, they do not have the needed character and basis for achieving the end goal of peace in the land. It is for this reason Allah does not approve them nor sees them changing till the day of uprising therefore He does not find them freeing themselves from troubles and harms they inflict upon each other so the painful suffering for them is the end result of their actions.
Surely, there are some sects among them who end up misinterpreting and misrepresenting the language when quoting from their divine book that you end up thinking what they quoted is actually in the book whereas in fact it is not in the Book. They also say, it is from Allah whereas in fact it is not from Allah. Thus they deliberately ascribe their make beliefs to Allah.
It is not right for a man whom Allah gives the constitution through prophet-hood for establishing the divine rule of law in the land that he should tell the people, live by my rule instead of Allah’s rule of law. On the contrary he ought to say, be you the committed servants of rule of your sustainer because you have been given the information about the divine constitution and because you have been studying it sincerely and properly.
He could never ask you to take your administrators and the prophets as your rulers. Would he ask you to declare war against Allah after you have committed yourselves to working for peace in the name of Allah?
Call to mind the fact that Allah held each of the earlier prophets in his own time under agreement precisely for this reason that if you are given the divine constitution for divine rule of law to establish it in the land then at length comes to you a messenger from Me who confirms the divine constitution for rule of law which is with you then you will affirm him and support him. Then Allah said, do you affirm this agreement and agree to shoulder this heavy responsibility? All of these prophets in their own respective times replied, yes, we do affirm and agree to it. So Allah said, very well then bear witness about it to your people and I too bear witness with you about it.
So if any follower of any of the prophets turns back on this agreement by accepting rule of any other than Allah then he is in breach of this agreement.
Are these people not in breach of that agreement that they are looking for rule of other than Allah whereas to His laws submit all that are in the heavens and in the earth freely and duty bound because it is for Him to set them goals to turn to.
Say, we commit to working for peace as a goal set by Allah on basis of what is revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants as well as on the basis of that which was given to Moses, Jesus and many other prophets not mentioned and we do not find conflict between any of them, that is why we are committed to working for peace between mankind.
So if anyone is looking for a constitution for a rule of law other than that which leads to peace between mankind then it will not be accepted of him by Allah for the mankind and in the end he will prove to be of those who cause harm by creating troubles.
How can Allah guide such a people who declare war on rule of Allah after declaring their commitment to working for peace because they bore witness that this messenger is consistent with his claim, for there came to them clear evidences? So Allah does not find such people deserving of His guidance as oppose His constitution for a rule of law.
Such people deserve to suffer the consequences of their actions because they stay away from blessings of Allah and of the people who carry out divine work therefore of the whole mankind.
They shall remain in that state for as long as they live like that so their painful suffering will not be lightened nor will they ever have any respite
except such as retrace their steps after this and mend their way to peace, that is how rule of Allah can remove all manmade ills by way of compassion between people.
As for those who oppose the rule of Allah after supporting it then go on opposing it and keep on adding strength to their this opposition, repentance is not expected of them for these are the ones who have gone too far in opposing the rule of Allah.
As to people who oppose rule of Allah and end up defeated and destroyed in the process yet they remain adamant in their opposition realising not that even if they each were to give the earth full of gold as compensation for the damage they cause to humanity that will not be sufficient for any of them. Such are the people for whom is painful suffering due to their actions yet they do not let anyone help.
Say to them, you will not attain freedom from the manmade troubles and destructions unless you open for all others equally the livelihood and the sustenance that you love most for yourselves provided for you all by Allah. And whatsoever goodness you open for the good of others Allah is aware of it.
All that was useful for mankind was always lawful even for the children of Israel till nation of Israel itself prohibited for itself by its own selfmade law just before the revelation of the Toraat. Say, produce the Toraat and recite it before us if your allegations are true.
So any people who attribute any lie to Allah, such are the ones who declare war against rule of Allah.
Say, Allah proves the truth true. So follow the ruling system of Abraham the one that guides straight to the goal of peace because he was not of those who accept rule by anyone other than Allah.
Indeed the very first constitution that was made evident for people to gather upon was such that it was full of life and prosperity as guidance for all the nations in the world,
wherein were clear goals as foundation even for Abraham to stand upon and whoever based himself upon that foundation always worked for peace in the land. And it is an obligation upon the blessed people by Allah to make evident the divine constitution for anyone who is able to find his way thereby. As for one who transgresses against it, let him be aware that Allah does not depend for His existence upon anyone in the universe rather all in the universe depend upon Him for their existence.
Say, O People of the Scripture! Why are you continually fighting against the goals of Allah when Allah is making evident all that you do by results of your actions?
Say, O you people who claim to have the divine scripture! Why do you lead people away from the constitution of Allah by putting in its place a parallel selfmade interpretation when you bear witnesses to effects that it leads to? Beware, Allah is not unaware of all that you do.
O you who claim to be committed to working for peace in the land! If you were to listen to a party of those who claim to have received the divine scriptures, they would try to turn you back into war mongers after you have committed yourselves to working for peace.
How can you become warmongers again when goals of Allah are declared to you and His messenger is in your midst? So he who properly and firmly holds onto Allah’s guidance, he indeed is guided to the path that is firmly founded.
O you who claim to have committed to working for peace! Be consistent with Allah and humanity as you ought to be and die not but in state that you are fully committed to working for peace.
And hold properly all of you together onto the constitution of Allah and divide not into sects. Call to mind the effect of Allah’s guidance upon you that how you were enemies yet He put friendship in your hearts so that you became brothers by His graceful teaching and how you were on the brink of a pit of fire of hatred against each other yet He saved you from falling in it. That is how Allah makes clear for you His guidelines so that you become a people who are guided.
So let there arise from among you a group of people who invite all to what is good for mankind and who promote a conduct that is for common good and who work against things that bring harm to mankind because such are the nations that will succeed and prosper.
And be not like those who divided into sects and fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. For such there was a painful destruction as a result of their own actions,
The time is coming when some faces will be lively but other faces will be gloomy full of regrets, and those with gloomy faces will be asked, did you turn back to warmongering after committing to working for peace? In that case observe the destruction that you caused by waging wars.
As to those with lively faces, in blessings of Allah they shall dwell for as long as they live by His rule.
These are the objectives of Allah and We recite them to you for purpose of your consistency with Allah and humanity. It is not the purpose of Allah to be cruel to the nations in the world,
because to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and with Allah rests sovereignty for all affairs.
You are a mission bound people sent for the mankind so that you promote what is good for mankind and to uproot what is harmful because you are committed to working for peace according to constitution of Allah for the good of humanity. And if all the people of the scriptures had committed to working for peace the same way that would have been better for them. However among them are people committed to working for peace but most of them work against the rule of Allah.
They will not be able to hurt you save a trifling hurt even if they decide to attack you and they will turn their backs and flee because they will have no worthy cause to support them.
Ignominy is their portion wherever they flee for refuge unless they accept living by rule of Allah or under the rule of people by way of treaty. They distance themselves from mercy of Allah by fighting against the rule of Allah so their self inflicted wretchedness is laid bare before them due to their actions. That is because they waged wars against objectives of Allah and fought with the prophets without any worthy purpose. That is because they were rebellious so they broke all bounds of Allah and human decency.
Not all are alike because among the people who claim to have the divine scripture there is a staunch community who were committed to goals of Allah even during the period of darkness of ignorance thus they remained submitted to His declared will.
They are still committed to working for peace according to constitution of Allah for the good end result for mankind and implement rule of law that benefits people and demolish the rule of law that harms mankind and vie one another in doing good for others. That is because they are a people who have developed the mindset and the attitude to do good for others.
So whatever good they do they will not be denied their reward for it and Allah is aware of those who are consistent with Him and the mankind.
Surely power and wealth as well as ideological following of those who fight against the rule of Allah will not avail them aught against rule of Allah because such are the ones who end up in agony wherein they will abide for as long as they do not repent and reform.
The likeness of what some of them have and use it to harm others in life of this world is like that of a danger that is spreading wherein is devastating destruction that strikes at future generation of a people who have harmed their own people and destroyed them. Allah harmed them not rather they opposed his guidance themselves and ended up with the consequences.
O you who claim to be committed to working for peace! Take not for alliance those who are against your cause because they will spare no chance to destroy you. They would love to hamper you because hatred is obvious from their mouths but that which is in their minds is yet greater. We have made Our revelations plain for you if you want to be sensible.
Indeed you are such a people that you love them even though they love you not, for you claim to be committed to working for peace in accordance to the divine scriptures the whole of it. They are conspirators because when they come in contact with you they say, we have committed to working for peace but when they go away they bite off their finger tips in rage against you. Say, perish in your rage if you must! Surely Allah is aware of what you hide in your minds.
If prosperity comes your way, it brings gloom to them and if poverty strike you they rejoice at it. However if you persevere towards prosperity and keep away from inflicting harm upon each other, their conspiracies against you will never harm you. For it is within control of Allah all that they do.
Remember what happened due to interference by these people at the time when you started out on the campaign from the state you were in to take the campaign to the next level along with your supporters trying to reassure those who were committed to working for peace about their basis for the battle, so Allah is vast in His knowledge of things so keep His advice always in mind.
At that time two of your parties almost fell away and it was only the revelation of Allah that saved them. So upon Allah’s advice should rely the people who are committed to working for peace.
Allah has indeed supported you in advance by means of His revelation right from the time when you were a weak people. So be consistent with guidance of Allah for the good of humanity so that you could thereby reflect your appreciation for Allah’s revelation.
At the time you said to those who were committed to working for peace, is it not sufficient for your confidence that your Lord should help you with three thousand properly trained personnel?
Not only that but if you work even harder and remain consistent with program of Allah for the good of humanity then despite your opponents’ constant strong opposition your Lord could support you with five thousand well trained people ready for vigorous campaign.
Allah brought you this nothing less than a positive thought so that with that he raises confidence in your minds. Surely there is no support save advice from Allah the mighty in wisdom.
so that thereby He may take away a part of those who fight against Allah, or that He may overwhelm them so that they retire frustrated in their campaign against His mission.
Surely it is not for you to decide but for them to choose whether advice of Allah should lead them to His mercy or leave them to suffering due to their opposition to it and humanity.
No matter what they choose for themselves but rest assured that to Allah belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. He graces whoever wants His grace and He let suffer the consequences whoever chooses that for himself though Allah is generous in His mercy.
So O you who claim to be committed to working for peace! Compete not in doing away with rights and responsibilities of each other instead be consistent with rule according to constitution of Allah so that you could become free of inflicting harm on each other and make progress and prosper.
Always be very mindful of fire of hatred that is brought about as a consequence of action of those who campaign against the rule of Allah.
So be consistent with the rule of Allah for the good of mankind along with the messenger so that you could experience blessings of Allah.
Therefore be quick in working towards prosperity by means of installing the constitution your Lord has bestowed upon you for creating the world like a garden as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who would be consistent with rule of Allah for the good of humanity.
Also for those who would use for benefit of others whatever they have in time of plenty and in time of scarcity and those who would control themselves against taking revenge and are forgiving towards others out of good will for them. Allah supports such people who desire to do good for mankind.
Also for those who would- when they do something that they should be ashamed of whereby they harm their own people - turn to constitution of Allah so that they could remove its ill effects from their people but who can remove harmful things and consequences from mankind but Allah by His constitution so they persist no longer in inflicting harms on each others.

136)The reward of such is removal of harms from them by rule of their Lord and gardens in which flow rivers of all things wherein they will abide for as long as they will live by rule of Allah, what a bountiful reward for those who live by guidance of Allah!

Passed away many traditions of various people before you so travel around in the earth and see the nature of the consequence for those who fought against the rule according to Our constitution and so denied its benefits for others.
They were not supposed to do that because this is a divine proclamation for the mankind for their guidance as an advice for them to be consistent with for the good of mankind.
However be not hopeless nor worry, for you will indeed overcome those who oppose establishment of kingdom of Allah provided you remain truly committed to working hard for peace in the land.
If you have suffered the pain in this struggle, your opponents also have suffered a similar pain, for these periods of changing fortune we let them follow one another between people so that Allah may make obvious those who really have committed themselves to working for peace through results of their actions and so that He holds out some of you to be an example for others to witness, showing thereby very clearly that Allah supports not those who oppose His constitution by transgress against His set laws to harm others.
All this is allowed to happen so that Allah frees from all self inflicted ills those who commit to working for peace and so that thereby He may show harmful mindset and destructive attitude of those who wage war against rule of Allah.
Or did you think that you will enter the blissful world without any hard work and without Allah making obvious those of you who really strive hard for peace and those who are steadfast in their effort for peace?
Remember! You used to wish for ending harm and destruction of mankind before you made any effort for it. Now that you have undergone the experience along with the messenger due to the revelation so you realise how hard work it is to remove human suffering caused by humanity itself.
However Muhammad is just a human messenger, surely there have passed already messengers like him before him who faced similar circumstances and situations. So will it be that if he dies like them or is fought against like them then you will turn back on your heels from his mission for peace? He who turns back from his mission for establishing peace does no harm to Allah rather Allah will award those that remain committed to His set goal with rewards in here and hereafter.
It is therefore not fitting for any human being that one should die but while committed to establishing the rule of Allah that is the commandment prescribed. Also is prescribed that whoever wants (the short term gain) the reward in this world only, We bestow it upon him thereof whatever one deserves and whoever wants the (long lasting) reward in the hereafter as well, We bestow it upon him thereof whatever one deserves. And we do reward those who carry out Our mission faithfully.
And there was not a prophet who struggled for establishing the kingdom of Allah as his mission but alongside him struggled many Godly people. They quailed not for aught that befell them in the cause of Allah, nor did they become weak or were brought low. That is how revelation of Allah supports those who remained steadfast.
For they asked for nothing other than saying, Our Lord! help us remove from between us harms we inflict upon each other and any transgressions in our efforts for our goal and make us take steps that are firmly founded thereby support us against those who declare wars against establishment of divine kingdom.
So Allah rewarded them with the blessings in abundance in the world as well as the with blessings in abundance for the hereafter. That is how Allah supports by His revelation those who do what is good for others.
O you who claim to be committed to working for peace! If you listen to those who oppose the establishment of rule of Allah, they will make you turn back from your commitment to establishing peace and if you do turn back then surely you will become of those who are in a great loss already.
Nay, you should not turn back because Allah is your supporter by way of His revealed program and He is unique of the supporters.
So if you will follow the program then soon We will raise thoughts of your superiority in the minds of those who declare wars against Our rule because they declare their own sovereignty against sovereignty of Allah for which no proof has been revealed to them. So their living is nothing other than painful suffering and what a terrible state of existence it is for those who transgress Our limits.
Allah always made good His promise to you the people who ever committed to His program against those who opposed it and that is how you always confounded them through His declared will till you yourselves fell apart because you became divided about the goal thus you became inconsistent with His plan after He had shown you that for which you longed. Some of you desired only the world while some of you desired the hereafter as well. So He let you face the consequences of turning your attention away from them to let it be a lesson for you, but He surely saved you from the greater harm and destruction, for Allah is particularly graceful for those who are committed to working for peace.
Remember the time when you yourselves were running away from the mission paying no attention to anyone while the messenger kept calling you back from behind you to the mission. Therefore Allah let you suffer one harm after another as a consequence of what you did so that you may learn from that and in future respond better due to that which you lost or due to that which befell you. That is how Allah makes you aware of what you do by results of your actions.
At length after suffering harmful and destructive consequences He made you see sense in His plan for establishing peace yet a party from among you became slack the while another party began spreading selfmade concept of predestination among their own people attributing to Allah what was inconsistent with His declared will as they used to do in time of ignorance. They said to each other, what has this painful suffering to do with our own actions because all this was predestined by Allah? Say, surely all things work as per set laws of Allah including consequences of people’s own choice based actions. They hold among themselves the wrong concept about will of Allah which they dare not say to your face due to which they said to each other, if our aim had been to spread this idea then why would we come out of our own make beliefs to campaign for this cause? Say, even if you had stayed in your framework of make beliefs yet those who believed in putting up a struggle would have gone forth to the places where they were to be. All this happened so that Allah may expose what is in your minds and make evident what is in your minds for others to see. And to show that Allah is fully Aware of what is hidden in your minds.
Indeed those of you who turned their backs on mission during the period when both the parties were together, it was due to the harmful and destructive leadership that caused them to slip because of some of that which they did but Allah has surely cleared them of their ills. For Allah is protector of mankind through His blissful revelation.
O you who claim to have committed to working for peace! Be not like those who are committed to opposing the rule of Allah and they say about their brethren who are committed to working for peace when they are travelling in the land for the mission of Allah or intend to do so that if they had been here with us they would not have ended up in hardship or fought against. Allah lets such thoughts of theirs be an anguish in their hearts, for it is laws of Allah that decide life and death for nations and that is why Allah makes people aware of results of their actions to reflect upon.
Even if you are fought against when on mission of Allah or you end up in hardship, surely protection of Allah through His blissful program is better than all that they amass.
And what if you land in hardship for a while or are battled against because it is the rule of Allah that you want to gather under?
It was due to Allah’s blissful program O messenger that you became attached with them to help them towards brotherhood, for if you had been harsh and of harmful and destructive mindset and attitude for them, they would have dispersed from around you in despair. Therefore overlook their shortcomings and seek prosperity for them and consult them regarding the affairs of the state and the people. And when all of you have to decide upon a matter then work always according to the constitution of Allah, because Allah supports only those who work according to His set laws.
If Allah supports you then none can overcome you but if He withholds His support from you then who is there who can help you? So let those who claim to be committed to working for peace work according to set rules of Allah.
It is not consistent with office of prophet-hood that a prophet should conspire against humanity, for leadership that deceives masses will suffer the consequences for doing that in form of the day of uprising. Then all such people will be paid in full for what they would have done to their people and that will not be an unfair dealing, for such people would have earned it.
Is a nation that follows the path whereby a community is consistent with rule of Allah like the party who opposes it, earning condemnation of Allah for ending up in a state of painful suffering? What a terrible situation to end up in!
For the team that follows set out divine laws faithfully there are ranks with Allah and Allah shows you the results of all that you do to reflect upon and react.
Allah indeed has done a great favour to those who claim to be committed to working for peace by sending them a messenger from among themselves who proclaims to them His goals whereby he frees them from harms they inflict upon each other through teaching them the book according to rules of wisdom, surely they were living in a very harmful way before this correction.
And was it any surprise- that a serious harm was inflicted upon you by others when you had already inflicted them with a disaster twice as damaging -that you said, how has this happened? Say, it was expected as a result of your own actions. For Allah has indeed set out laws for governing affairs relating all things.
So the harm which afflicted you during the period when both the parties were together was according to set out laws of Allah so that He may make obvious those who really are committed to working for peace,
And that He may expose those who were hypocrites. And when it was said to them, come let us campaign together for establishing the rule of Allah or to defend it. They answered, if we knew how to campaign, we would have followed you. In that period they were nearer to giving up their commitment to working for peace publicly than holding on to their commit to peace. They were saying that with their mouths which was not in their minds. That is how Allah makes obvious that which they hide.
Those who while they sat at home said of their brethren who went on campaigning, if they had heeded us they would not have fallen victim to hardship. Say, then avert harm and destruction from among yourselves if what you claim is true.
Think not of those who campaign for establishing the rule of Allah as people of no consequence. Nay, they are strong and lively due to food for thought from their Lord.
Satisfied they are because of that which Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty in form of revelation, for they are given the good news thereby about those who are to join them in their mission. So there shall not come upon them anything to make them anxious neither shall they have anything to make them regret their course of actions.
They rejoice because of favour from Allah and kindness and Allah renders not the outcome of actions of those who are committed to working for peace void.
So those who heeded the call of Allah along with His messenger after they fell in hardship, especially for those of them who did good for others and are consistent with Allah and humanity there is a great reward,
Those to whom some people said, masses have gathered against you so you should be concerned about them and give up the mission, yet this increased their self confidence and they cried, revelation of Allah is sufficient for us! Excellent in sovereignty is He indeed in Whom we trust!
Thus they returned with honour and bounty from Allah and no harm touched them. For they followed the path according to the constitution of Allah and with Allah is infinite bounty.
It is only the enemy of rule of Allah who tries through psychological warfare to make you fear his partisans. So fear them not instead pay attention to My constitution if you are really committed to working for peace.
Let not their conduct grieve you who rush to start wars at every chance, for they do no harm to Allah at all. Allah lets them remain in their loss to the end and for them is a grave suffering as a consequence of their course of actions.
Those who exchange the commitment of working for peace to working for war, do no harm to Allah but end up in painful suffering themselves.
And let not those who oppose our guidance imagine that the freedom We give them is necessarily good for them because We give freedom to such also so that they could do their worst, for theirs will be awful doom as a result of their own doing.
It is not plan of Allah to leave you the people in your present state of co-existence rather He will separate the harmful and destructive ones from the ones who are beneficial and constructive for mankind. And it is not the scheme of Allah that He lets you the people know at the same time directly His plan for you, instead Allah always chose one at a given time from His messengers whomever He decides to reveal to him His will to inform the rest. Therefore people ought to commit to working for peace according to the constitution of Allah along with His messengers. So if you commit to working for peace and be consistent with constitution of Allah for the good of mankind then you will benefit vastly.
And let not those people think who withhold out of intention of using and abusing others that their withholding of land and resources which Allah has provided for all of them to benefit from is going to do them any good. Nay, it is very destructive for them indeed. In time that which they withhold from others unduly will be like the heavy weight around their necks on the day when as a consequence uprising will take place. So remember that to Allah alone belongs the sovereignty and the rightful heritage of the heavens and the earth and that is how Allah makes obvious results of your actions to reflect upon to act properly.
Surely Allah has been making obvious the results of actions of such who said, the kingdom of Allah is poor whereas we are rich! We shall keep it as a matter of record their this statement along with records of their wars against the prophets without any justification therefore when they have led themselves in to painful suffering We too will tells them, now experience the taste of terrible suffering,
this is the consequence of that which your own hands have wrought for your future, for Allah is never cruel to mankind.
They also claim that Allah has bound us by His constitution that we commit not to working for peace with any claimant of messengership of Allah unless he brings such harmony between people that is no longer consumed by animosity based fire of hatred. Say, there came to you messengers just like me before me with clear goals and guidelines as well as they created the environment that you describe then ask each other, why did you fight them instead of supporting them if you are really faithful to constitution of Allah as you claim?
The truth is, if they deny you then it is nothing new for them because likewise they denied messengers who came to them before you with clear goals and guidelines such as in form of the Zaboor and other scriptures for enlightenment of people.
Each nation is to taste the painful suffering and destruction that rejects the message of blissful life. That is how you will all be paid in full in form of uprising as a consequence of that which you have earned. Whoever is moved away from this agonizing suffering and is made to enter a blissful life, he indeed has prospered. The life of this world is otherwise nothing more than a self deception.
You the followers of the Quran will indeed be availed opportunities for working hard to progress and prosper through whatever you are provided with as individuals and your people as a community despite conspiracies by many of those who were given the scriptures before you as well as those who live by rule of other than Allah. But if you persevered and remained consistent with constitution of Allah for the good of humanity then that will always prove a deciding factor in all the affairs.
Call to mind when Allah charged those who had received the scripture before you that you are to expound it to mankind and hide it not yet they flung it behind their backs in exchange for a petty life. Harmful and destructive indeed is that which they have gained thereby.
Think not that those who exult in what little they have given to help others yet love to be praised for what they have not given that they are safe from the consequences that are to ensue. A painful suffering is heading their way.
That is how Allah shows that sovereignty in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him alone, for it is Allah alone who has set laws for all things to operate by.
Surely in the evolution of the heavens and the earth and in the phenomenon of alternation of the night and the day are evidences about it for people who are intelligent,
Such are those who radiate sovereignty of Allah by standing up for it and establishing it on basis of companionship between them because they reflect properly upon purpose of the creation of the heavens and the earth saying, our Lord! you evolved not all this in vain. Perfect is Your planning so relieve and protect us from fire of hatred between us.
Our Lord, whom You prevent not from entering the fire of hatred he indeed is confounded by consequences of his deeds because people who build their lives on inflict harm and destruction on others there is none to help.
Our Lord! we have heard indeed a crier calling us to commit ourselves to working for peace saying, commit to working for peace in the name of your Lord, so we have indeed committed ourselves to working for peace. Our Lord, therefore relieve and protect us from our harmful and destructive actions against each other through our works for the benefit of mankind thus count us from among those who act properly therefore end up blessed with abundance.
Our Lord, grant us the blissful kingdom which You have promised us through Your messengers and confound us not with consequences of our harmful and destructive deeds through day of uprising. Surely You go not back on Your promise.
Thus answered them their Lord, I cause no loss in results of works of any people who work be they part of the administration or the masses. Some of you have helped others such as those who migrated or were driven out from their homes because they suffered harm in My cause yet they struggled and fought their way through, surely I will remove their harmful deeds from them and surely I will bring them into blissful kingdoms in which rivers flow of livelihood as a reward from Allah. That is how you should come to know that in following advice of Allah rests the best reward.
Let not the wealth and power of some of those who wage wars against Our guidance in the land deceive you.
It is but a brief comfort till their victims wake up and react that is how soon the consequences of their deeds will land them in agony, an ill abode indeed.
But those who live by guidance of their Lord for the benefit of others they are bound to end up in their blissful kingdoms in which flow rivers of plenty wherein they will abide as a result of what came to them from Allah and there is nothing from Allah but that which is good for mankind.
Similarly of the people of the scripture there are some who commit to working for peace according to constitution of Allah just as you commit to working for peace according to what is sent to you so they commit to working for peace according to what is sent to them, paying full attention to establishing the rule of Allah. They exchange not for a petty life the goals and guidelines of Allah. They are the ones whose reward rests in following the road map of their Lord and laws of Allah are perfect in calling nations to account.
O you who claim to be committed to working for peace! Endure and out do all others in endurance and be organised and consistent with Allah and humanity so that you succeed in your set goal/mission.
