Dealing justly with the people

Allah told us that there is a difference in the treatment of those who want to fight us and those who do not, so there is nothing wrong with righteousness and good treatment with those who did not fight us.

Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :

{ Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies1 of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers. }
