Al-Anfaal (The Spoils of War)

62. “And if they intend to deceive you, Allah is indeed sufficient for you. It is He Who strengthened you with His help and with (the support of) the believers.”

If the leader of Muslims is certain of the enemy's trickery around the peace, the situation changes. But, in the case of the existence of probable of good intention, it should be vigilantly accepted.

Some Islamic traditions indicate that ‘the Prophet's support performed by the believers’ has been rendered into his support performed by Hadrat Ali (as)

Also Ibn-i- ‘Asakir narrates from ‘Abu-Hurayrah that, it is written on the ‘Arsh:

“There is no good but I, (and) there is no partner for Me. Muhammad (S) is My servant and My Messenger. I supported him by Ali”.

This is the same thing that Allah says in this verse.¹

The verse says:

“And if they intend to deceive you, Allah is indeed sufficient for you. It is He who strengthened you with His help and with (the support of) the believers.”

It is understood from this verse that Muslims should accept the suggestion of peace in order that they would not be introduced as ‘the seekers of war’, but they must be vigilant not to be deceived.

If we do our duties accordingly, we must not be afraid of difficulties, since Allah solves the difficulties.

“...It is He Who strengthened you with His help and with (the support of) the believers.”
