God made good His Promise

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَعْدَهُۥٓ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُمبِإِذْنِهِۦ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ وَتَنَٰزَعْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ وَعَصَيْتُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَآ أَرَىٰكُم مَّا تُحِبُّونَ مِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ثُمَّصَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 152

152.  And Allah verily made good His promise unto you when ye routed them by His leave, until (the moment) when your courage failed you, and ye disagreed about the order and ye disobeyed, after He had shown you that for which ye long. Some of you desired the world, and some of you desired the Hereafter. Therefore, He made you flee from them, that He might try you. And yet certainly He hath forgiven you. And Allah is a Lord of Kindness to believers.

152.  Wa  laqad  sadaqaku-mUllaahu  wa’-daHuuu  ‘iz  tahussuu-nahum-  bi-‘izniH.  Hattaaa  ‘izaa  fashiltum  wa  tanaaza’-tum  fil-‘amri  wa  ‘asaytum-mim-  ba’-di  maaa  ‘araakum-maa  tuhibbuun.  Minkum-many-yuriidud-dunyaa  wa  minkum-  many-yuriidul- ‘Aakhirah.  Summa  sarafakum  ‘anhum  li-Yabtali-yakum.  Wa  laqad  ‘Afaa  ‘ankum.  Wallaahu  Zuu-fazlin  ‘alal-Mu’-miniin.

Commentary

      

Messenger of Allah Almighty (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) had described the Muslims before starting of the war in the battlefield of ‘Uhud, “If you will have patience and remain steadfast, then you will get victory and obtain the mastery over the Infidels. Allah Almighty made good His promise in the beginning of the battle”. The Muslims stretched many heaps, by slaughtering the unbelievers with the Command of Allah Almighty. The Idolaters began to run away from the battlefield being stunned.

When the Muslims felt that they were succeeding and getting victory, they broke in for collection of the spoils of war (the wealth of plunder). In the meantime, the archers committed a serious error by disobeying the command of the Messenger (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam). When Khalid bin Waliid observed that the hill-pass was without archers, he reaped advantage and within a few moments, the map of the battle was changed.

The archers began to quarrel with one another. Some of them said, “We should stay here” but others told that there was no more need to stay there. We should also collect the spoils of war”. At last, their maximum strength left the pass and went away for collection of the spoils of war. Then suddenly the Idolaters attacked from behind that pass. On the other side, the news regarding execution of the Prophet (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) became notorious.

Because of these entire circumstances, the weakness was born in the hearts of the Muslims. Resultantly, this cowardice arose. Some people inclined towards worldly wealth and property with pleasure, consequence of which was that they all suffered. The Infidels, who were running away recklessly; leaving the battlefield to save themselves, returned and broke in upon the Muslims. Then the Muslims were running away themselves. The matter inverted because of this shortness, mistake and error. It was also a test of the Muslims, so that the difference between immature and matured Muslims may be disclosed.
