Lesson
yawmal-taqal-jam-‘aani – (on the day when the two armies
met), it signifies towards the day of the Battle of ‘Uhud, when the
Armies of Islam and Infidelity stood opposite and met each other face to face.
Allah Almighty
is the Omnipotent. He has full rule and jurisdiction over the entire universe.
Victory and defeat is only in His hand. When Muslim crusaders and Idolaters of
Mecca met face to face on the day of the Battle of ‘Uhud and
the Muslims faced accidental defeat, they were conquered because such situation
arose due to their own act which was against the Will of Allah Almighty to
bestow them complete superiority. What happened, that was with the order of
Allah Almighty and the Muslims produced its cause themselves. Aim of it was
that belief and purity of the Muslims might be known on one side and hypocrisy
of the Hypocrites might be revealed on the other side, and the good might be
separated completely from the bad.
Before starting
of the battle, when Abdullah bin ‘Ubayy, the leader of Hypocrites
began to return with his three hundred companions, he was asked, “Where do you run
at the spot? Come, if you are true in your claim that you are true Muslims,
then let us fight in the Way of Allah Almighty. Otherwise, at least, take part
in stopping and repelling the enemy. That is to say, live together in the
assemblage; so that the enemies feel fear of abundance of our Army upon their
heart. If you do not fight in the Way of Allah Almighty, for the cause of
Islam, then at least help us to stop the enemy as the passion of your native
land, service of your nation or safety of your wealth and children, because if
the enemy gets victory then he will take revenge from all and will not leave
anybody. Overall, notwithstanding it was tried to warn them and through
excitement; the entire matters were illustrated. But the Hypocrites did not
accept and vice of their hearts manifested.
Abdullah bin
‘Ubayy returned to Madinah city with his companion hypocrites and the Muslims moved
ahead for the battle. The incident, which happened there, has already been
discussed earlier. Reply of Abdullah bin ‘Ubayy against the
entire advices will be described in the next lesson ‘Inshaa ‘Allaah.
