65. O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there
be of you twenty steadfast they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be
of you a hundred (steadfast) they shall overcome a thousand of those who
disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence.

Commentary
Harrizu – (to
exhort, strongly encourage or urge to do something), this word has been derived
from tahriiz, origin of which is harzun. Harzun means
“to decrease, to wane”, as though; tahriiz means
“precautionary measures against decreasing, waning and being dissolved and
weak; so that it is stopped, as; marz means any disease,
but tamriiz means “to take care of a sick person i.e. to
manage for keeping off the disease”. In the same way; tahriiz means
“to stop the disease” necessary meanings of which will be that “to excite the
people for adopting such policies, due to which; moving unto destruction is
hindered”. During those days, fighting was necessary for saving the Muslims
from destruction. Therefore, the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) was commanded to exhort the Muslims for it.
As it has been described
previously that when the people become so much stubborn that they wish to
mislead the people with force; according to only their own way of life, and
they are not ready to provide opportunity of seeking the Truth and after
finding; believing in it, and they do not refrain from their stubbornness, but
molest the seekers of the Truth and grip up their loins to tease the believers,
then there is no way for the Muslims except fighting.
They will fight till the time,
until the freedom of adopting their chosen religion is not attained and the
mischievous people do not refrain from their wickedness. God Almighty has
promised in the previous verse: Those believers who will be ready to fight
against the tyrants wholeheartedly, God Almighty will help them.
It has been explained in this
verse that it is the occasion at this time; that the enemies are bent on persecuting
you unjustly and they do not withdraw from their wickedness. Therefore, you
should be inclined for fighting entirely, because there is a principle with God
Almighty: God helps those who begin their attempt and help themselves.
It is commanded: O Prophet
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)! You should say to the
believers! If you desire to be saved from the ruin then you must be inclined
for fighting, because in it; there are benefits for you from beginning to end.
If you are killed, you are martyrs, and if you succeeded then you are heroes
and conquerors. So there is no reason of your cowardice.
If your enemies are ten-fold more than you, even then you should
face them steadily, because after understanding; you are fighting for a great
cause, whereas they are fighting without any cause, but only for the purpose
that their leadership is established. It is an open sign of stupidity. Those
people, who have so much low aim, cannot stay before the holders of the highest
goal.
