reaction.

all wise. So this is the battle of butter. And this is the turning point where Allah subhanaw taala showed us that light always prevails over darkness, the truth will always prevail over falsehood. What is right, what is correct, will always come out on top at the end. And what we have to learn the lesson is that the Sahaba when they were going to the battlefield, they were shaking, they were nervous, they were anxious. The Quran talks about this. But the moment they arrived in the battlefield, they were willing to go and stand there for what was right. No matter how daunting and overwhelming the odds were.

came over them. And Allah subhanaw taala literally tells us in the next verse, is you Hershey kimono

00:13:26--> 00:13:37

means that they such a serenity and a calmness washed over them, that they started dozing off and falling asleep standing in the battlefield,

00:13:39--> 00:13:39

standing,

00:13:41--> 00:13:42

falling asleep or standing

00:13:43--> 00:13:46

and then falling asleep while standing in the battlefield.

00:13:47--> 00:14:16

00:14:35--> 00:14:54

If you tell the truth, they always say right, you told the truth you can sleep well at night. No matter what the consequences you told the truth. There were some tough consequences but you know you'll sleep good at night. You lied. Inside Out backwards forwards you lived your way out of a situation. Okay, there were no immediate consequences.

00:14:55--> 00:14:59

But you lose that tranquility. You lose that sleep

00:15:00--> 00:15:37

And that's what Allah is teaching us here in the Quran. May Allah subhanaw taala keep us committed to the truth. May Allah subhanaw taala grant us steadfastness upon the truth, and may Allah subhanaw taala grant us peace and tranquility. I mean arable.
