Surah Al-Baqarah Ayat 194

Pada ayat ini dijelaskan bahwa apabila kaum musyrikin menyerang kaum Muslimin pada bulan haram, maka kaum Muslimin dibolehkan membalas serangan itu pada bulan haram, termasuk apabila kaum Muslimin mendapat serangan dari kaum musyrikin pada 'umratul qadha', karena ayat ini dengan tegas telah membolehkan kaum Muslimin mengadakan balasan, meskipun pada bulan haram. Ini lebih dipertegas lagi dengan dibolehkannya membalas dengan balasan yang setimpal setiap pelanggaran terhadap ketentuan-ketentuan yang harus dihormati. Jika kaum Muslimin mengadakan pembalasan, maka sekali-kali tidak dibolehkan dengan berlebih-lebihan dan mereka harus berhati-hati agar jangan melampaui batas, serta harus bertakwa kepada Allah, karena Allah selalu bersama orang-orang yang bertakwa.

The sacred month in return for the sacred month therefore just as they fight you during it kill them during it a response to the Muslims’ consideration of the momentous nature of this matter; holy things hurumāt plural of hurma is what must be treated as sacrosanct demand retaliation in kind if these holy things are violated; whoever commits aggression against you through fighting in the Sacred Enclosure or during a state of ritual purity or in the sacred months then commit aggression against him in the manner that he committed against you the Muslim response is also referred to as ‘aggression’ because that is what it resembles formally; and fear God when avenging yourselves and by renouncing aggression and know that God is with the God-fearing helping and assisting them.
