الآية رقم (94) - يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُواْ وَلاَ تَقُولُواْ لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلاَمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَعِندَ اللّهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِيرَةٌ كَذَلِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

(94) - { O you who have believed, when you go forth [to fight] in the cause of Allah, investigate; and do not say to one who gives you [a greeting of] peace "You are not a believer," aspiring for the goods of worldly life; for with Allah are many acquisitions. You [yourselves] were like that before; then Allah conferred His favor upon you, so investigate. Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.}

Is there any legislation in the UN, human rights or in all the countries that claim loving the peace, is there a law that urges the peace such as this great verse?

This verse is one of the greatest verses that we refer to in order to prove to all the world that Islam is the religion of peace, it cannot be but a source of the good for the mankind and for all the creatures in the life, the humans, the plants, the animals and all the things.

The word “investigate” comes two times in this verse to tell us not to hurry in taking the decisions.

 ( إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا … ) (…Indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted): Allah (swt) is ever Acquainted with the intentions and aims, the Prophet (saws) said:

“The value of) an action depends on the intention behind it. A man will be rewarded only for what he intended.”[1]
