Aashiq Hill – Pearls Of The Quran Juz 10

			4 Surahs, and that is Surat Al Anfal,
		

			the chapter dealing with the spoils of war,
		

			and Surat Al Tawbah, the chapter of repentance.
		

			And what is amazing about these 2 Surahs,
		

			they detail
		

			the very first major battle in the life
		

			of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and that
		

			is the Battle of Badr as well as
		

			the last major battle in the life of
		

			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that is the
		

			Battle of Tabuk.
		

			Many people, when they read selected verses from
		

			these chapters,
		

			they say, well, Islam is a deen of
		

			violence, it promotes fighting, it promotes, you know,
		

			jihad, but subhanAllah,
		

			these verses when read in context gives one
		

			the understanding
		

			that jihad is implemented.
		

			Fighting is implemented, why? To establish peace and
		

			stability.
		

			In the second chapter, Surat Tawba,
		

			Allah ta'ala
		

			speaks about the Battle of Tabuk and the
		

			great sacrifices that the Muslim underwent. The Muslims,
		

			30,000 strong in the hot summer,
		

			you know, on a long terrain
		

			went to meet the Romans, SubhanAllah.
		

			And Allah Azzawajal
		

			caused no fighting to take place and the
		

			Muslims were successful.
		

			It was a great psychological boost for the
		

			Muslims.
		

			Allah Ta'ala also in Surah Tawba, he mentions
		

			the battle of her name and in the
		

			battle of her name, Allah Ta'ala taught the
		

			believers a very important rule and that is
		

			do not let your numbers amaze
		

			you instead
		

			victory comes from Allah Azzawajal.
		

			May Allah Azzawajal grant us tawfiq and understanding,
		

			Ameen.
