Commentary
We recited the same verse
in Surah ‘Aali ’Imraan. There too; it was mentioned that the
Muslims should not worry for shortage of manpower and lack of necessaries.
Allah Almighty can help the weak by thousand ways. In this verse, the same
subject exists that when they had to fight against the people who were
threefold more than their strength and felt utmost deficiency of war equipment,
then the Muslims were very upset. They began to burst into tears before their
Lord, Allah Almighty (Great is His Glory) for their condition of humility and
helplessness.
God Almighty commanded: You
should not worry for deficiency of your manpower strength. There is no
deficiency of Angels with Me. I will send down a thousand Angels (in Surah
‘Aali ’Imraan this strength is three thousand and five thousand), in
short; as much number of Angels will be sent for help as you required. At both
places, the same words have been used that “You will be helped with Angels
(when You are confused)”. And at the both places the verse under reference
comes after that.
It is commanded in this verse that the help of the Angels is
good and great tidings and your hearts will be strengthened with it. There are
countless forms of the help of Allah Almighty, however, He has prescribed a
rule that; whose Faith will be perfect; certainly they will surmount over
those, whose Faith is ambiguous. Material and natural help is provided to
everyone according to own effort in the world in accord with principles
determined by Allah Almighty. But victory and success do neither depend on
apparent goods and equipment; nor on number of fighters. Moreover, it depends
on satisfaction and strength of the hearts, which can be attained by Trust and
Belief in God Almighty only. Allah Almighty is Overcoming on the entire and His
every work is based on Wisdom.
