Al-Hajj (Haj)
Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage)
Muqaddima
Prologue
Bu surahning ayrim qismlari Makkada, ayrim qismlari esa Madinada nozil bo'lgan, bu ularda ko'tarilgan mavzulardan ayon bo'ladi. Xususan, qo'shin tortish (jihad) va Muslimlarga yetkazilgan zulmga o'xshash jazo berishga ruxsat beruvchi 38-41-oyatlar hamda 60-oyat Madinada nozil bo'lganini qayd etamiz. Musulmonlarga jang qilish yoki shunga o'xshash jazo berishga Payg'ambar ﷺ Madinaga hijrat qilib, u yerda musulmonlar davlati barpo etilganidan keyingina ruxsat berilgan. Undan avval Payg'ambar ﷺ bunday harakatga ruxsat beruvchi hech qanday farmon olmaganini bildirgan edi. U zot ﷺ Madina ahlining o'zlariga ko'maklashishga tayyor ekanliklarini bildirgan taklifiga javoban shunday degan edi. Ular Minodagi barcha kofirlarni o'ldirishga tayyor ekanliklarini aytgan edilar. Shunda u zot ﷺ: "Menga bunday qilish buyurilmagan", deb javob berdilar. Ammo Madina musulmonlar davlatining zaminiga aylangach, Xudo kofirlarning tajovuzini qaytarish va e'tiqod hamda ibodat erkinligini himoya qilish uchun jangga ruxsat berdi.
Parts of this sūrah were revealed in Makkah and other parts in Madīnah, as is evident from the topics addressed. We note in particular that verses 38-41, which give the Muslim community permission to fight, and verse 60, which speaks about meting out the same punishment that is inflicted on Muslims by others, were revealed in Madīnah. Muslims were only allowed to fight or to exact similar punishment after the Prophet’s migration to Madīnah and the establishment of the Muslim state there. Prior to that, the Prophet stated that he had not received any directives allowing such action. He was replying to an offer made by the people of Madīnah who pledged their support to him. They stated that they were ready to kill all the unbelievers in Minā. In response, he said: “I have not been told to do such a thing.” But when Madīnah became the land of the Muslim state, God permitted fighting to repel the unbelievers’ aggression and to defend the freedom of belief and worship.
