Verse 61

Table of Contents

    61. “And if they incline to peace, then you (too) incline to it and put your trust in Allah; verily He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”

    This verse discusses about peace with the enemy and it makes this fact more clear. It says:

    “And if they incline to peace, then you (too) incline to it…”

    And, since, at the time of signing the treaty of peace, men often involve with doubts and hesitations, it commands the Prophet (S) that he does not hesitate in accepting the suggestion of peace when its conditions are logical, wisely, and justly. He is ordered to trust in Allah, because He both hears their debates and is aware of their intentions.

    The verse continues saying:

    “...and put your trust in Allah; verily He is the All- Hearing, the All-Knowing.”
