ٱلشَّهْرُ ٱلْحَرَامُ بِٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَٱلْحُرُمَاتُ قِصَاصٌ فَمَنِ ٱعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَٱعْتَدُواْ عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا ٱعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ
١٩٤
-Al-Baqarah ( البقرة )

Al Qushairi Tafsir

[2:194] The sacred month for the sacred month; holy things demand retaliation; whoever commits aggression against you, then commit aggression against him in the manner that he committed against you; and fear God, and know that God is with the God-fearing.
The allusion in it: 'When two of the rights of God face off, submit the moment (waqt) to the decree of the moment (ḥukm al-waqt), and turn with the allusions of the moment (ishārāt al-waqt). Beware of preferring one over the other in what you possess in your worldly portion (ḥaẓẓ) - even a little - for you will be veiled from witnessing the Real (ḥaqq) and the vision of your heart will be blinded. Everything that is closer to what opposes your whims and further from what attracts and pleases you, is in itself more appropriate'.
And know that God is with the God-fearing, those who fear the preference of their own whims over that with which He is pleased. When they act for God in what they do rather than for themselves, God Most High is with them with help. He said, 'If you help God, He will help you' [47:7].
