Let me help you out a little, ari.

Quran - 033.016:
YUSUFALI: Say: "Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or slaughter; and even if (ye do escape), no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!"
PICKTHAL: "Say: Flight will not avail you if ye flee from death or killing, and then ye dwell in comfort but a little while."

Quran - 008.012:
YUSUFALI: "Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."
PICKTHAL: "When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger."

Quran - 033.026
YUSUFALI: "And those of the People of the Book who aided them - Allah did take them down from their strongholds and cast terror into their hearts. (So that) some ye slew, and some ye made prisoners.
PICKTHAL: "And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who supported them down from their strongholds, and cast panic into their hearts. Some ye slew, and ye made captive some."

The first one is regarding instructions to his followers, NOT to flee from battle.


The second one refers to what God told his angels to do. not his followers.


... and the third one is regarding what HAD happened in the past, nothing to do with what followers should be doing now.



"Need more?"

So far you've given me none...
