Lesson
There is
mention about another favor of Allah Almighty upon the Muslims in this verse.
That is to say; in whose portion there was good fortune of martyrdom; they were
martyred. The persons, who had to go, they had gone and those people out of
them, who were sincere Muslims and remained in the battlefield, form of slumber
overcame them. The people began to slumber in the standing position. The sword
fell down from the hand of Tal-ha (may Allah Almighty be
pleased with him) many times. It was hidden and apparent affect of peace and
calmness, which was approaching upon the hearts of the Muslims during such
incident causing great riot with the Bounty of Allah Almighty. After this
slumbering state, entire fear and confusion of the enemies had gone from their
hearts. This condition of slumbering happened at such very time, when the
Conquerors of Islam were much tired due to their wounds. Rumors about martyrdom
of Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii
Wasallam) had lost their senses and
understanding.
yagshaa - (overcame). The
word gishaawah has come out from it, which means a screen, a
curtain, a veil. Here it aims that Allah Almighty took them in the fold of
slumber. After prevailing of the slumber over the Muslims, Allah Almighty
removed their entire weariness and tiredness, and informed them that the time
of fear, perplexity and disappointment has been finished. Now you are entirely
in peace. Perform your duty with full satisfaction.
The Companions
(may Allah be pleased with them) assembled around the Messenger of Allah
Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and established the front for war. They observed very soon that
the enemy was running away leaving behind the battlefield. Abdullah ibn
Mas-‘uud (may Allah be pleased with him) says, “Overshadowing of the
slumber in the very nick of time in the battle was a sign of victory and
success from the favors of Allah Almighty”.
It was Bounty
of Allah Almighty that He provided security and peace after coming of the
narrowness, gave victory while certain defeat was ahead, removed the
possibility of subjection and refreshed the Muslims by removing their
exhaustion, so that they may bruise the enemies of the Just after getting new
spirit. In addition, He inspired with awe of Islam and fear of the Right in the
hearts of the Idolaters. It was the reason that the enemies could not face the
situation while they had overcome.
If the
Believers remain steadfast in their faith and confidence, show the steadiness
and patience, then; help and victory from Allah Almighty remains with them
always and the enemies of Truth return back on their heels falling short.
Actual power and strength in the battlefield of crusade (Jihad) is
satisfaction of the hearts and the exaltation of aim and spirit.
