After the Muslim victory in the Battle of Badr, Allah revealed Aya 70 of Surat Al-Anfaal. Here, He commands his Prophet to let the prisoners of war know that if He sees that there is goodness in them, He will see a way through for them. It’s an incredible acknowledgment that goodness lies deep inside the hearts of people and that even in the most obvious situations, we’re not in a position to judge. We may criticize actions, but to judge someone's character altogether or label them as good or bad, that’s not up to us.
