Lesson
The Muslims had become some poor-spirited due to
accidental defeat in the Battle of ‘Uhud.
Cause of this casual confusion became that group of archers, who disobeyed the
order of the Messenger of Allah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
by leaving the pass of hill. The Infidels and the Hypocrites began to reproach
and accuse the Muslims by reaping contraband advantage from this situation and
saying, “Observe, if you were true then your so many crusader companions would
not be slaughtered. You do not obey completely to your Prophet (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him), but you have followed the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) only for the purpose of worldly wealth
and the booty.
Some Hypocrites began to admonish the Muslims in
the veil of good will, “It’s not wisdom to fight against the Infidels, because
you get much loss from their hands. It would be better if you do not dare like
this in future”. It was possible that the Muslims would either become more
poor-spirited from Islam due to these deceits and tricks or consider it as the
defeat of Islam instead of their own defeat (let us flee to Allah). Therefore,
Allah Almighty warned the Muslims, “Do not be deceived of enemies. They will turn
you back on your heels towards the infidelity by reaping contraband advantage
from your temporary defeat. If you would be taken in their commands, then you
will fall again in that darkness of infidelity from where Allah Almighty has
caused to come you out. Result of which will not be other than loss in the
world and the Hereafter.
The Muslims were persuaded to follow the path of
Allah’s friends in the previous verse. That is to say, “Do not turn back on
your heels from the religion due to troubles and calamities. Do not leave the
steadfastness and patience. Moreover, oppose face to face with your complete
strength in the Way of Allah Almighty”. In this verse, the Muslims have been
prevented to obey the evil-minded vicious persons, so that the Muslims remain
acquainted and may understand their profit and loss. Instead of obeying the
Infidels and the Hypocrites, the Muslims should call Allah Almighty for help. Because
He is the best of helpers. Therefore, every person should obey Him and trust in
His help. It is clear that the person, who has gotten the help of Allah
Almighty, he does never need the help of God’s enemies.
