2.2.3 The Second Section: The obligations of the Muslims and mutual support among them


11- Verily, the believers shall not leave any indebted person from among them without him being provided for, on a fair and reasonable basis, in respect to ransom or blood money. 12- A believer shall not enter into alliance with the Mawla (freed slave who maintains loyalty or a client) of a believer without the latter’s consent.

13- The God-fearing believers stand together against the one who rebels or seeks to insert injustice, crime, aggression or corruption among the believers. Their hands are all united against him, even if he was the son of one of them.

14- A believer shall not kill another believer for the sake of a disbeliever.

15- (A believer) shall not support a disbeliever against a believer.

16- The protection of Allah is one and its extension upon the least of them is applied to all of them.

17- The believers are allies and protectors of one another to the exclusion of the people.

18- Whoever from the Jews follows us; receives support and assistance. They are not wronged and support is not provided to others against them.

19- The peace of the believers is one. No peace is made by a Muslim separate to another Muslim in the fighting in the way of Allah, except upon the basis of mutual even handedness and justice.

20- In respect to every military attachment that goes out with us, it will be followed one after the other.

21- The believers will retaliate for the blood of one another [that is shed] in the way of Allah.

22- The God-fearing believers are upon the best and most correct guidance.

23- No polytheist shall protect a property or person belonging to Quraysh; nor shall he protect him against a believer.

24- Whomever it has been established by evidence that he has killed a believer (without right), then he is subject to retaliation unless the blood heir of the one killed is satisfied with blood money.

25- The believers stand against him altogether and it is not permissible for them except to stand against him.

26- It is not permissible for a believer who affirms what is stated in this document and believes in Allah and the last day, to provide assistance or shelter to a criminal.

27- And whoever helps or shelters him, will have the curse and anger of Allah upon him on the Day of Judgement. Nothing will then be accepted from him.

28- Whatever you have differed upon in any matter, then it must be referred to Allah ‘Azza Wa Jalla and to Muhammad (peace be upon him).
