Al Baqarah

HR Background

فَهَزَمُوْهُمْ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ﳜ وَ قَتَلَ دَاوٗدُ جَالُوْتَ وَ اٰتٰىهُ اللّٰهُ الْمُلْكَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ عَلَّمَهٗ مِمَّا یَشَآءُؕ-وَ لَوْ لَا دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍۙ-لَّفَسَدَتِ الْاَرْضُ وَ لٰـكِنَّ اللّٰهَ ذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(251)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

So they defeated them with the will of Allah. And Dāwūd killed Jālūt and Allah endowed him with the kingdom and wisdom and taught him that which He willed. If Allah does not deter some people by means of others, then indeed, the earth would be destroyed;[1] however, Allah bestows His grace upon the whole world.

Commentary

[1]

Here, the wisdom of Jihad is mentioned; Jihad has many advantages. If weeds are not uprooted, crops may be destroyed, if a cancerous mass is not removed, the body will suffer, if thieves are not caught, there shall be no security; similarly, if rebels and transgressors are not confronted through Jihad, good people will struggle to live.
