1) the kind good doers,

2) those who turn to him and those who are Clean and Pure, 3) those who guard against evil,

4) those who put their Trust in Him,

5) those who are firm and steadfast,

6) the virtuous,

7) the charitable,

8) judge in equity,

9) those who are just and are not biased,

10) the good doers who keep their Covenant,

11) the generous,

12) those who keep their duty,

13) those who purify themselves physically and spiritually and

14) those who are firm when they fight in his cause.  

In this article, Allah loves the equitable, those who judge justly.

Verse 49:9 says that Allah loves the equitable,

Those who weigh with justice,

Those who judge fairly,

Those who judge justly by the Quran,

 

The verse talks about the occasion when two parties of believers fall to fighting each other.

This verse was revealed when some Muslims fell to fighting because of some offensive words.

Fighting then ensued between the two clans with fists, sandals and palm branches being thrown about.

And so Allah forbade them from fighting each other and commanded them to make up, saying: And if two parties of believers fall to fighting then make peace between them by referring to the Book of Allah.  And if one party of them persists and transgresses against the other party and refuses to make peace by referring the matter to the Quran,

Fight you that which does wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah.

Fight that party until it accepts to make peace by referring to the ordinances of the Quran.

In other words, if one of them aggresses against the other, fight the one which aggresses until it returns to God’s ordinance, to the truth. Then, if it returns, reconcile them, fairly, and act justly. Surely God loves the just.

Then, if it returns, if it accepts to make peace by referring the matter to the Book of Allah, make peace between them justly, and act equitably towards both parties.

Lo! Allah loves the equitable

Those who weigh with justice,

Those who judge fairly,

Those who judge justly by the Quran,

Those who judge justly by the Book of Allah, and act upon it

The verse put the realistic solution to make peace between

Two fighting parties or

Two fighting clans or

Two fighting countries

This realistic solution is Just one word, deal with the two parties by JUSTICE, and do not be biased.

Hence, any war that fails to cease is due to the lack of JUSTICE!  And this is the responsibility of mankind

Verse 49:9 in different translations:

QARIB:

If two parties of believers fight, reform between them. If either of them is insolent against the other, fight the insolent one till they revert to the order of Allah. If they revert, reform between them with justice, and weigh with justice. Allah loves those who weigh with justice.

SHAKIR:

And if two parties of the believers quarrel, make peace between them; but if one of them acts wrongfully towards the other, fight that which acts wrongfully until it returns to Allah’s command; then if it returns, make peace between them with justice and act equitably; surely Allah loves those who act equitably

PICKTHAL:

And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them. and if one party of them doeth wrong to the other, fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah; then, if it return, make peace between them justly, and act equitably. lo! Allah loveth the equitable.

YUSUFALI:

If two parties among the believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them: but if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other, then fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of Allah; but if it complies, then make peace between them with justice, and be fair: for Allah loves those who are fair (and just).
