In Makkah
there were non-believers who inflicted great
hardships on the believers for a long time,
even, obstructing their entry to the Sacred
Masjid. When the believers overcame them,
there was a feeling of revenge and hostile
hatred towards the non-believers. Allah
commanded to the believers that such a feeling
should not induce them to indulge in
transgression 005-002 and that it must not make
them deviate from the path of Justice and Equity
005-008 .
…Let not the
(hostile) hatred of a people - because they
hindered you from the Sacred Masjid - incite you
to exceed the Just or Proper limits or to
transgress the Law…005-002
…Let not the
(hostile) hatred of a people make you deviate
from the path of Justice. Always, and in all
circumstances, act justly…005-008
