{ Fighting is ordained for you, being something you dislike; but perhaps you dislike something that is good for you, and perhaps you like something that is bad for you; and Allah knows but you do not know } Al-baqara 216

This is an obligation from Allah Most High on the Muslims to wage jihad, to restrain the evil of the enemies. Al-Zuhri said: Jihad is everyone’s duty, whether he sets out to attack or sits it out. For the one who sits it out, it is obligatory for him, if he is asked to give support, to give support; if he is asked to assist, to assist; if he is called to mobilize, to mobilize; and if he is not needed, to sit it out. … Then the Most High said: { Perhaps you dislike something that is good for you } ; that is, because victory and triumph over the enemies follows after fighting, as does taking possession of their land, their wealth, their women, and their children. { And perhaps you like something that is bad for you } : this refers in general to all affairs; a man might like something, although it has neither benefit nor gain for him, and this leads to sitting out from fighting.
