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).

Verse 5:42 says that Allah loves those who judge in equity.

The verse describes a type of non Muslims people who are:

• Listeners to calumny
• Consumers of unlawful gain
• Greedy for illicit gain!
• Corrupted and follow what is unlawful and
• Changing the rulings of Allah

In this verse, Allah Commands not to follow them, and to judge between in equity according to the Law of Allah in their Scripture.

The verse 5:42 states that:

O Messenger Muhammad! Do not let them grieve you who vie one with another in the race to disbelief

Do not follow them

They are, listeners to calumny

They utter words for the sake of falsehood!

They are consumers of unlawful gain that which is illicit, such as bribes.

They are Greedy for illicit gain!

They are corrupted and follow what is unlawful and

They are changing the rulings of Allah.

If they come to you, to judge between them, then judge between them or turn away from them.

If then they have recourse unto thee O Muhammad, judge between them or disclaim jurisdiction by choice.

If you disclaim jurisdiction and do not judge between them, (then they cannot harm thee at all) they cannot take away anything from you.

If you turn away from them, they cannot harm you at all; and if you judge, between them, then judge justly between them;

But if you judge between them, judge between them with equity, with stoning the married people who commit adultery.

Lo! Allah loves the equitable, who are fair when they judge with the Book of Allah and who apply the legal ruling of stoning.

Allah loves the just, those that judge fairly, meaning that He will reward them.
