(90) إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ إِلَىَ قَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَاقٌ أَوْ جَآؤُوكُمْ حَصِرَتْ صُدُورُهُمْ
أَن يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ أَوْ يُقَاتِلُواْ قَوْمَهُمْ وَلَوْ شَاء اللّهُ لَسَلَّطَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَلَقَاتَلُوكُمْ فَإِنِ اعْتَزَلُوكُمْ
فَلَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ وَأَلْقَوْاْ إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَمَ فَمَا جَعَلَ اللّهُ لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبِيلاً
90. " Except those (hypocrites) who join a people between whom and you is a covenant, or who come to you, their hearts shrinking from fighting you or fighting their own people; and if Allah had plessed, He would have given them power over you. So taht they should have certainly fought you. Therefore if they withdraw from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah allows you no way (to fight) against them."
Commentary:
In the previous verse, the intensive action and slaying the hypocrites who assist infidels were referred to. In this verse two groups are excepted from them.
Mililary treaties, even with hostile infideles, and also international agreements should be respected at the time of peace.
" Except those (hypocrites) who join a people between whom and you is a covenant,..."
And, in fightings, do not invade those who announce impartiality:
"... or who come to you, their hearts shrinking from fighting you or fighting their own people;..."
And respect the peaceful motives and offers of stopping fire, since, in Islam, the principle is based on peace, and fight is for an exceptional case.
"...Therefore if they withdraw from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah allows you no way (to fight) against them."
You should be attentive to the Power of Allah in order that you do not encounter with pride, and your sentiments be adjusted both.
"...and if Allah had pleassed, He would have given them power over you so that they should have certainly fought you. ..."
Muslims should be so powerful that their opponants even do not think of attacking them. That is why only the suggestion of peace is enough. To be certain, abandoning war and inspiring peace are necessary.
"...and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah alloes you no way (to fight) against them."
