123 Preface يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا قاتِلُوا الَّذينَ يَلونَكُم مِنَ الكُفّارِ وَليَجِدوا فيكُم غِلظَةً ۚ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ المُتَّقينَYusuf AliO ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about,1 and let them find firmness in you: and know that God is with those who fear Him.When conflict becomes inevitable, the first thing is to clear our surroundings of all evil, for it is only evil that we can rightly fight To evil we must put up a stout and stiff resistance. Mealy-mouthed compromises are not right for soldiers of truth and righteousness. They are often a compound of cowardice, weariness, greed, and corruptibility.
