The 47th, 48th and 49th suras contain some instructions for the Muslim governments how to interact with Muslim and non-Muslim governments. These are not the only chapters with such messages but I wish to pick out one Aya from 49th (S. Al-Hujuraat):
" If two parties among the believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them; but if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other, the fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of Allah; but if it complies then make peace between them with JUSTICE and be FAIR; For Allah loves those who are fair (and just)." (Aya9)
The verse offers no confusion and is clearcut about what to do when two "Parties" of mominoon fall into quarrel.
Three things I would like you to note
1. Make peace between them (try to intervene as a group of Muslim Governments or heads of Muslim states or such equivalents)
2. If the aggressor does not agree for peace or for equitable terms and you have to use force
Use force against the aggressor in order to bring that peace which is the goal and not as a punishment of the aggressor- for the punishment is with the Ultimate Judge (the Almighty).
3. The third and in my opinion more important is the bringing about of peace after forces are withdrawn having done the job. I have capitalized the words used by Allah SWT to make the emphasis more apparant: that peace should be followed with equity, justice and bringing back the normal friendly relations.
Peace is not merely absence of war.
The next verse, not surprisingly, begins with the well-known words
"Innamal-mominoona ikhwah...." (all believers are brothers).
I have contemplated on this verse often at least when Iraq and Iran were fighting and I saw that Muslim heads of states did not achieve what the non-Muslim heads did and same about Iraq and Kuwait quarrel. The results have been disaterous for Muslims. OIC as most of you know is just "O! I see !!!", an impotent organisation
I strongly felt at that time that there should be a more powerful organization- call it whatever but it should be like---
United Nations of Muslims. (I am not alone in that kind of thinking and it is not new either, the ldea having been around for may be a century if not more)
