Lesson
The Muslims had
become some poor-spirited. Cause of this casual confusion became because the
group of archers, who ignored the Command of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) by leaving the
pass of hill. The Infidels and the Hypocrites began to reproach and accuse the
Muslims by reaping contraband advantage from this situation and saying, “Behold,
if you were true then so many crusader companions of yours would not be
slaughtered. You do not obey completely to your Prophet (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), but you have
followed the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii
Wasallam) only for the purpose of worldly
wealth and the spoils of war.
Some Hypocrites
began to admonish the Muslims in the veil of good will, “It’s not wisdom to
fight against the Infidels, because you get much loss and damage by their
hands. It would be better if you do not dare like this in future”.
It was possible
that the Muslims would either be more disappointed from Islam due to these
deceits and tricks or consider it as the defeat of Islam instead of their own
defeat (let us flee to Allah). Therefore, Allah Almighty warned the Muslims,
“Do not be deceived of enemies. They will turn you back on your heels towards
the infidelity by reaping contraband advantage from your temporary defeat. If
you would be taken in their commands, then you will fall again in that darkness
of infidelity; from where Allah Almighty has caused to come you out. Result of
which will not be other than loss in the world and in the Hereafter.
The Muslims were
persuaded in the previous verse to follow the path of Allah’s friends. That is
to say, “Do not turn back on your heels from the religion due to troubles and
calamities. Do not leave the steadfastness and patience. Moreover, oppose face
to face with your full strength in the Way of Allah Almighty”. In this verse,
the Muslims have been prevented from obeying the commands of evil-minded
vicious people, so that the Muslims should remain careful and acquainted, and they
may understand their profit and loss. Instead of obeying the commands of Infidels
and Hypocrites, the Muslims should call Allah Almighty for help, because He is
the Best of supporting friends. Therefore, every individual should obey His
Command and trust in His help. It is clear that the person, who has gotten the
help of Allah Almighty, he does never need the help of God’s enemies.
