Lesson
Allah
Almighty has signified towards an event for the people who take warning with
impossible happenings. This event is notorious with the name “Battle of Badr”. Encounter took place between
Muslim Army and Idolaters of Al-Makkah
at this occasion. Succor of Allah Almighty reached Muslims, and True and False
(Haqq o Baatil) were separated.
Number of
Infidels was nearly one thousand in the Battle of Badr. They had seven hundred camels and one hundred horses. Their
warriors were much experienced and skilled in fighting. On the other hand,
Muslim warriors were three hundred and thirteen only. They had only seventy
camels, two horses, six chain armors and eight swords. Both Armies saw one
another as twice their number, clearly, with their very eyes. The fear of abundance
in number of the Muslims prevailed over the hearts of Infidels and they
terrified.
On the
other side, the Muslims turned more attention to Allah Almighty due to looking
the Infidels’ Army twice in numbers from them. They kept hope of victory and
support with firmness and stability placing confidence in the promise of Allah
Almighty. If number of Infidels’ Army did appear in full upon Muslims, which
were thrice in number from them, then it was possible that the fear had to
overshadow upon them. However, it is an admonitory event for the discreet
people to render the small and without means group victorious over such strong
group likewise which was thrice in number from them. On that day the prediction
was completed which was told to the Muslims many years ago in Al-Makkah.
We have
learnt from this lesson that real thing is patience and trust in Allah Almighty,
not abundance of weapons, equipment and manpower. We should have faith in Allah
Almighty in all difficulties and pray Him for support, because entire success
and victories are in His Hand.
It is not
only one event in the Islamic History like this, which has been signified in
this verse i.e. the Battle of Badr. But
whenever the truth loving have come out with this passion and fervor in the
field to sacrifice, victory of Allah Almighty has remained with them of similar
circumstances.
