crossed (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: We have
no power this day against Goliath and his hosts. But those who knew that they

host by Allah’s leave! And Allah is with the steadfast.

Lesson
Jaaluuta – (Goliath), he was commander of Palestinian Army
against the Jews. This person had Giant stature and muscular youth. His
strength, power and stoutness have been mentioned in the Holy Torah with
detail. It is told that his height was ten feet. He used to remain in iron
dress from his head to feet. A heavy shield used to remain in his hand.
When Prophet Saul
(peace be upon him) started journey with his Believer Associates towards
Goliath, first of all, He warned them that they should not drink water from the
river in the way more than a hollow of a hand, otherwise they would be
separated. But it was, they drank water bellyful except a few persons out of
them, and then they were too weak even to walk.
When this little
company reached opposite the enemy, looking their scarcity in numbers, these
servants of Allah Almighty said, “How shall we face so much big army”? But they
exclaimed also with full faith and strong belief, “No! Victory will be ours’;
usually it has happened in the history that little companies have overcome
mighty hosts by Allah’s leave”.
Decision of victory
and defeat doesn’t depend on the number of Armies, but it depends on the support
from God Almighty and strength of hearts. The people who become followers of
patience and firmness, Allah Almighty supports them.
Perseverance is a
very great power. With the aid of remaining steadfast in the field of action,
God Almighty helps the persons from invisible sources and bestows on them
success.
God helps those who help themselves.

250. And when they went into the field against Goliath
and his hosts they said: Our Lord! Bestow on us endurance, make our foothold
sure, and give us help against the disbelieving folk.
251. So they routed them by Allah’s leave and David slew
Goliath; and Allah gave him the kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of that
which He willeth. And if Allah had not repelled some men by others the earth
would have been corrupted. But Allah is a Lord of Kindness to (His)
creatures.

Lesson
Daawuudu- (David), David (peace be upon him), who was son of Yasii and
a Prophet of God Almighty during 1024 BC to 963 BC. Recitation in the Holy Qur-‘an about him is at sixteen places.
He was a young soldier in the Army of Prophet Saul (peace be upon them), till
that time, neither he had proclaimed about his prophet-hood, and nor he had yet
been appointed as king.
When the Army of
Prophet Saul reached opposite Goliath’s Army, Goliath challenged the servants
of God Almighty due to his personal strength and power. The Believers do never trust
in their abundance of manpower or ability of their personnel force. So they requested
to Allah Almighty for endurance and prayed for making them foothold sure.
It was primary time
of Prophet David (peace be upon him). He was a part of the Army of Saul (peace
be upon him). Goliath was killed with his hands and the truth-lover Army got
victory and success. It is the Practice of God Almighty that He repels and
defeats some men by others, and doing so; He removes badness and quarrels from
the earth.
