Abstract:   (2260 Views)
In various Quranic verses, Muslims have been commanded to meet opponents with `afw and safh, of the verses, 109 of Baqara and 13 of Maidah deal with `afw and safh as the way for meeting the people of the book. The Quranic commentators and scholars disagree on the problem that whether meeting those of the book with `afw and safh may be considered as a contemporary and tactical way to achieve the goals in certain conditions or it is a permanent strategy. Apparently, the verse 109 of Baqara is more ambiguous than the 13 of Maidah; therefore, to illustrate the reality, at first, a brief commentary of the verse 109 of Baqara has been proposed and, then, the triple reasons of the advocates of the tactical side have been studied critically. Although, the critique of the reasons seems to be enough in the field, the strategic attitude of the commentary has been explicated also.
Keywords: 109 of Baqara, `Afw and Safh, Forgiveness and Condonation, Ahl-e Kitab, People of the Book, Strategy
