Reclaim the occupied Land by committing Jihad in the name of Allah.
Allah mentioned in Quran:
Surah Al Baqarah verse no: 191
وَاقۡتُلُوۡهُمۡ حَيۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوۡهُمۡ وَاَخۡرِجُوۡهُمۡ مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ اَخۡرَجُوۡكُمۡ وَالۡفِتۡنَةُ اَشَدُّ مِنَ الۡقَتۡلِۚ وَلَا تُقٰتِلُوۡهُمۡ عِنۡدَ الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡحَـرَامِ حَتّٰى يُقٰتِلُوۡكُمۡ فِيۡهِۚ فَاِنۡ قٰتَلُوۡكُمۡ فَاقۡتُلُوۡهُمۡؕ كَذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ الۡكٰفِرِيۡن
Urdu
Translation Bayan UL Quran ( Dr Israr Ahmed )
اور انہیں قتل کرو جہاں کہیں بھی انہیں پاؤ اور نکالو ان کو وہاں سے جہاں سے انہوں نے تم کو نکالا ہے اور فتنہ قتل سے بھی بڑھ کر ہے ہاں مسجد حرام کے پاس (جسے امن کی جگہ بنا دیا گیا ہے) ان سے جنگ مت کرو جب تک وہ تم سے اس میں جنگ نہ چھیڑیں یہی بدلہ ہے کافروں کا۔
Kill them wherever you come upon them and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution is far worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there. If they do so, then fight them—that is the reward of the disbelievers.
In Islam, the concept of reclaiming occupied land is generally understood in the context of self-defense and the right to protect one's homeland. Islam teaches the importance of justice, peace, and the preservation of human life.
This verse is often
quoted in discussions about self-defense and the permissibility of fighting in
Islam. The verse refers to a specific historical context during the time of
early Islam when Muslims faced persecution and were expelled from their homes
in Makkah. It provides guidance to the early Muslim community on how to respond
to aggression and defend themselves.
The
Power of Assistance: Islam's Emphasis on Helping the Needy:
Allah mentioned in the Quran
Surah An Nisa Verse No: 75
وَمَا لَـكُمۡ لَا تُقَاتِلُوۡنَ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَالۡمُسۡتَضۡعَفِيۡنَ
مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَآءِ وَالۡوِلۡدَانِ الَّذِيۡنَ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ رَبَّنَاۤ اَخۡرِجۡنَا
مِنۡ هٰذِهِ الۡـقَرۡيَةِ الظَّالِمِ اَهۡلُهَا ۚ وَاجۡعَلْ لَّـنَا مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ
وَلِيًّا ۙۚ وَّاجۡعَلْ لَّـنَا مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ نَصِيۡرًا ؕ ٧٥
Urdu
Translation Tafheem e Quran ( Syed Abu Ali Maududi)
آخر کیا وجہ ہے کہ تم اللہ کی راہ میں اُن بے بس
مردوں، عورتوں اور بچّوں کی خاطر نہ لڑو جو کمزور پاکر دبالیے گئے ہیں اور فریاد
کررہے ہیں کہ خدا یا ہم کو اس بستی سے نکال جس کے باشندے ظالم ہیں، اور اپنی طرف
سے ہمارا کوئی حامی و مددگار پیدا کردے۔

Retaliation in Islam: The
Concept of Equitable Justice
Allah mentioned in The Quran:
Surah Al Baqarah Verse No 178
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ
اٰمَنُوۡا كُتِبَ عَلَيۡكُمُ الۡقِصَاصُ فِى الۡقَتۡلٰى ؕ الۡحُرُّ بِالۡحُـرِّ وَالۡعَبۡدُ
بِالۡعَبۡدِ وَالۡاُنۡثَىٰ بِالۡاُنۡثٰىؕ فَمَنۡ عُفِىَ لَهٗ مِنۡ اَخِيۡهِ شَىۡءٌ
فَاتِّبَاعٌۢ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَاَدَآءٌ اِلَيۡهِ بِاِحۡسَانٍؕ ذٰلِكَ تَخۡفِيۡفٌ
مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَةٌ ؕ فَمَنِ اعۡتَدٰى بَعۡدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهٗ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌۚ
١٧٨
Urdu
Translation Tafheem e Quran ( Syed Abu Ali Maududi)
اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، تمہارےلیے قتل کے مقدموں میں قصاص کا حکم لکھ دیا گیا ہے۔ آزاد آدمی نےقتل کیا ہو تو آزاد ہی سے بدلہ لیا جائے ، غلام قاتل ہو تو غلام ہی قتل کیا جائے،اور عورت اس جرم کی مرتکب ہو تو اس عورت ہی سے قصاص لیا جائے۔ ہاں اگر کسی قاتل کے ساتھ اس کا بھائی کچھ نرمی کرنے کے لیے تیار ہو،تو معروف طریقے کے مطابق خوں بہا کا تصفیہ ہو نا چاہیے اور قاتل کو لازم ہے کہ راستی کے ساتھ خوں بہا ادا کرے۔ یہ تمہارے رب کی طرف سے تخفیف اور رحمت ہے۔ اس پر بھی جو زیادتی کرے، اس کے لیےدرد ناک سزاہے
English translation Dr Mustafa Khattab
(The Clear Quran)
O believers! ˹The law of˺ retaliation is set for you in cases of murder—a free man for a free man, a slave for a slave, and a female for a female. But if the offender is pardoned by the victim’s guardian, then blood-money should be decided fairly and payment should be made courteously. This is a concession and a mercy from your Lord. But whoever transgresses after that will suffer a painful punishment.
This verse discusses the principle of legal retribution (Qisas) in cases of murder or unlawful killing. It outlines the principle that when someone is unlawfully killed, the punishment for the perpetrator should be equal to the harm inflicted. It emphasizes that the punishment should be proportionate to the crime committed.
Additionally, the verse serves as a reminder that transgressing the limits of justice and taking matters into one's own hands will result in severe punishment.
Fight
those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day
Allah mentioned in the Quran:
Surah At Tauba verse no 29:
قَاتِلُوا الَّذِيۡنَ
لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَلَا بِالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُوۡنَ مَا حَرَّمَ
اللّٰهُ وَ رَسُوۡلُهٗ وَلَا يَدِيۡنُوۡنَ دِيۡنَ الۡحَـقِّ مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا
الۡـكِتٰبَ حَتّٰى يُعۡطُوا الۡجِزۡيَةَ عَنۡ يَّدٍ وَّهُمۡ صٰغِرُوۡنَ
Urdu
Translation Tafheem e Quran ( Syed Abu Ali Maududi)
جنگ کرو تم ان لوگوں سے جو نہ اللہ پر ایمان رکھتے ہیں نہ یوم آخرت پر اور نہ حرام ٹھہراتے ہیں اللہ اور اس کے رسول کی حرام کردہ چیزوں کو اور نہ قبول کرتے ہیں دین حق کی تابعداری کو ان لوگوں میں سے جن کو کتاب دی گئی تھی یہاں تک کہ وہ اپنے ہاتھ سے جزیہ پیش کریں اور چھوٹے (تابع) بن کر رہیں
English translation Dr Mustafa Khattab
(The Clear Quran)
Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the tax, willingly submitting, fully humbled.
The verse specifically refers to non-Muslims who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, do not consider as unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful, and do not follow the religion of truth. It suggests that there can be a confrontation with such individuals until they agree to pay the jizyah (a tax) willingly and submit to the authority of the Muslim state while being in a state of submission.
It emphasizes the importance of self-defense and
fighting against those who actively reject Islam and seek to harm Muslims.
Fight the champions of
disbelief
Allah mentioned in the Quran

اَيۡمَانَهُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ عَهۡدِهِمۡ وَطَعَنُوۡا فِىۡ دِيۡـنِكُمۡ فَقَاتِلُوۡۤا
اَٮِٕمَّةَ الۡـكُفۡرِۙ اِنَّهُمۡ لَاۤ اَيۡمَانَ لَهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَنۡتَهُوۡنَ

اور اگر عہد کرنے کے بعد یہ پھر اپنی قسموں کو توڑ ڈالیں اور تمہارے دین پر حملے کرنے شروع کر دیں تو کُفر کے علمبرداروں سے جنگ کرو کیونکہ ان کی قسموں کا کوئی اعتبار نہیں۔ شاید کہ (پھر تلوار ہی کے زور سے) وہ باز آئیں گے۔
