I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed
Satan Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says In Verse 62 وَإِن
يُرِيدُوا أَن يَخْدَعُوكَ فَإِنَّ حَسْبَكَ اللَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي
أَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهِ وَبِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ Allah Azzawajal Says If They
Intend To Deceive You Then Allah Is Enough
For You It Was He Who Strengthened You
With His Help Allah Says That'S The Only
Thing You May Fear From That Treaty That
You Don'T Know People'S Intentions, You Don'T Know
What They Conceal They May Just Be Doing
It And As A Way Of In Another
Way Of Finding Some Way Of Deceiving You
Or Being Treacherous With You You Don'T Know
And So Allah Azzawajal Says فَإِنَّ حَسْبَكَ اللَّهُ
Trust In Allah And Allah Is Sufficient For
You Allah Is Enough For You And If
You Take The Correct Means And Do Things
Correctly In Accordance With The Shari'ah Then
Allah Will Never Forsake The Believers Allah Will
Never Leave The Believers And Allah Azzawajal Will
Always Protect Them And Help Them فَإِنَّ حَسْبَكَ
اللَّهُ Allah Is Sufficient For You وَالَّذِي أَيَّدَكَ
بِنَصْرِهِ وَبِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ For It Is Allah Who Helped
You And He Helped The Believers Brought To
You Angels From The Heavens Meaning When They
Were Treacherous When They Try To Do Some
Harm To You Didn'T Allah Help You?
Didn'T Allah Bring To You His Aid?
Didn'T Allah Give To You Manifest Victory?
And That Is Why The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe
Wasalam On His Way Back As He Mentioned
The Hadith Of Umar When He Was Coming
Back From The Treaty Of Hudaybiyah Allah Azzawajal
Revealed To Him Those Verses From The Beginning
Of Surat Al-Fath إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا
مُّبِينًا We Have Given To You A Great
Manifest Victory And That'S A Victory That Allah
Azzawajal Is Promising The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam
Because Allah Azzawajal Is Saying To Him That
You Trust In Allah Even If They Are
Treacherous As They Ultimately Were They Broke That
Treaty Allah Azzawajal Is Sufficient For You And
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Will Help You Allah
Helped You And He Helped The Believers And
Then Allah Azzawajal Says In Verse 63 وَأَلَّفَ
بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ لَوْ أَنْفَقَتَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا
مَا أَلَّفْتَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَلَّفَ بَيْنَهُمْ
إِنَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ And With The Believers He
Brought Their Hearts Together Even If You Had
Given Away Everything Upon The Earth You Could
Have Not Done This But Allah Brought Them
Together For Allah Is Almighty And All Wise
And From The Help That Allah Gives And
From The Way That Allah Azzawajal Helps You
And Suffices You Is That He Brings Unity
Amongst You When The Believers Are Together And
They Are United Then That Is Their Strength
وَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ He Brought Their Hearts Together
So The Muslims At The Time Of The
Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam Were Like One When
The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam Had To Go
Out They Went Out With Him When He
Had To Be Supported They Would Support Him
When He Signed The Treaty Of Hudaybiyah They
Accepted The Terms Of That Treaty Whatever They
Did They Did Because They Were United And
It Is Because Allah Azzawajal United Their Hearts
Because They Had A Single Goal And A
Single Vision They All Wanted To Please Allah
And Worship Allah And Obey Allah And Come
Closer To Allah Azzawajal And Love The Prophet
Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam And When The Muslims Are
Like This Then That Is What Gives Them
Strength That Strength That There Is No Strength
That Is Greater Than That Strength And That
Is Why Allah Azzawajal Says That It Is
From The Greatest Blessings Of Allah Upon You
لو أنفقت ما في الأرض جميعا If You
Were To Spend Everything Upon The Earth All
Of The Wealth Of The Dunya It'S Gold
And It'S Silver And It'S Diamonds And All
Of Its Treasures ما ألفت بين قلوبهم You
Cannot Bring The Type Of Unity Amongst People
ولكن الله ألف بينه But It Is Allah
Who Brings The Type Of Harmony The Type
Of Unity The Type Of Togetherness Amongst People
And That Is Why It Is From The
Greatest Blessings Of Allah Azzawajal If You Have
Unity In A Family You Have Unity In
A Community You Have Unity In A Masjid
You Have Unity Amongst A Group Of Friends
And Brothers And That Unity Is In The
Beating Of Allah In The Worship Of Allah
Azzawajal For The Sake Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta
'Ala It Is From The Greatest Blessings Of
Allah Azzawajal And That Is Why Allah Azzawajal
Says In This Verse That It Is From
That Which Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Helped The
Believers With إِنَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ And Indeed Allah
Is Almighty And Wise Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
Then Says In Verse 64 يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ
حَسْبُكَ اللَّهُ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ O Prophet
Allah Is Enough For You And For The
Believers Who Follow You It Is Enough For
You That You Have Allah That Allah Is
Your Divine Protector Allah Is The One Who
Gives You Divine Aid And Help Allah Azzawajal
Is The One Who Gives You Divine Assistance
Allah Is With You Allah Is The One
Who Is In Your You Are In Under
His Divine Protection Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala يَا أَيُّهَا
النَّبِيُّ حَسْبُكَ اللَّهُ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ O
Prophet Of Allah Allah Is Sufficient For You
And Allah Is Sufficient For Those Who Follow
You From Amongst The Believers Meaning He Will
Suffice You From Your Enemies From Their Traps
From Their Plots From Their Plans Look At
The Treaty Of Hudaybiyah The Quraysh Thought That
They Had Won They Made The Muslims Sign
A Treaty In Which All Of The Terms
Are In The Favor Of The Quraysh They
Felt That They Had The Upper Hand They
Felt That They Were The Ones Who Had
Overcome The Muslims In That Way You Can'T
Make Umrah This Year You Have To Go
And Come Back When You Come Back You
Can Only Stay For A Few Days When
We Tell You To Leave You Have To
Leave When You Come Back Don'T Bring In
Weapons When Someone Accepts Islam When They Go
To Medina You Have To Turn Them Back
But If Someone Leaves You And Comes To
Us We Can Accept Them They Don'T Have
To All Of Those Terms That They Had
In That Treaty They Thought That They Had
Won But In Reality Allah Azzawajal Had Sufficed
The Believers Sufficed The Messenger Of Allah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam Because The True Winners Were The
Muslims The True Winners Were The Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam And His Companions Radhiallahu Anhu Majma
'in Because Islam Explodes In Terms Of Numbers
People Start To Accept Islam And So Yes
They May Have Won A Very Narrow Minded
Victory That They Saw The Quraysh That Is
But The Muslims Ultimately Had The Greater Victory
Because They Would Come And They Would Conquer
The City Of Mecca And From That As
We Know The Rest Of Arabia Would Come
Eventually Under The Fold Of Islam Also And
So Allah Azzawajal Suffices The Believers But So
Long As You Trust In Allah And Believe
In Allah And You Do Everything In Accordance
To What Allah Azzawajal Has Commanded It'S Not
Enough For People To Say That We Want
Or Allah Will Help Us Or We Want
Allah'S Help But They Disobeying Allah They Are
Not Worshiping Allah They Have No Knowledge Of
What Allah Azzawajal Wants They Are Disobeying Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala They Are Doing Everything Haram
And Leaving Everything Which Is Halal They Are
Ignoring What The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Taught
And What He Instructed And Then We Are
Like Where Is Allah'S Help We Want Unity
We Want People To Come Together All Muslims
Strive For Unity What Unity Can We Have
Allah Saying You Could Spend Everything In The
World And You Wouldn'T Get Unity Give Everyone
All Of The Wealth Of The Dunya Even
Though People Love Wealth And They Still Wouldn'T
Be United Why?
Because It Would Be A Temporary Unity Or
It Would Be A Unity Based Upon Materialistic
Things Not For The Sake Of Allah Azzawajal
And Those Types Of Unities Always After A
While Break Up And You See That In
The History Of The World How Many Nations
Were Allies Only To Become Enemies How One
Day People Are Together And They Are Working
Together And They Are Having Dinners And Whatever
Else Together And The Next Day They Are
Fighting With One Another Killing Each Other That
Is The Nature Of Humans That'S Just The
Way People Are But When It'S Based Upon
The Love Of Allah And The Love Of
Islam And The Akhirah Then That Is The
Unity Of Hearts And When There Is A
Unity Of Hearts Then That Is Something Which
Is From The Greatest Blessings Of Allah Azzawajal
And That Is When Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
Allows Islam And The Muslims To Become...
Allows The Muslims Rather To Become Stronger And
Stronger Allah Azzawajal Then Continues In Verse 65
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says O
Prophet!
Urge The Believers To Fight If There Are
20 Of You Who Are Steadfast They Will
Overcome 200 And A Hundred Of You If
Steadfast Will Overcome A Thousand Of The Disbelievers
For They Are The People Who Do Not
Understand Allah Azzawajal In This Verse Is Encouraging
The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam Or Commanding Mother
The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam To Encourage The
Believers To Fight In The Path Of Allah
Azzawajal To Speak To Them About The Rewards
Of The Akhirah And The Rewards That Allah
Azzawajal Has Given Or Placed For Those People
Who Fight For The Sake Of Allah Azzawajal
And They Sacrificed For The Sake Of Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Because Inevitably At Times As
We Saw In The Life Of The Prophet
Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam The Muslims, The Companions Had
To Fight The Battle Of Badr, The Battle
Of Uhud, The Battle Of Ahzab, The Conquest
Of Mecca, The Battle Of Tabuk And Numerous
Other Battles That Took Place Some Of Them
With The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam And A
Number Of Them Without The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe
Wasalam So It'S Something Which The Prophet Salallahu
Alaihe Wasalam Is Being Told To Encourage Them
And That The Muslims Because Of Their Iman
And Their Faith And Their Patience They Are
Stronger Than The Disbelievers In That Regard And
So Allah Azzawajal Says إِيَّكُمْ مِّنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ If
Only There Were 20 Of You Then You
Would Overcome 200 وَإِيَّكُمْ مِّنْكُمْ مِّئَةً And If
There Was A Hundred Of You يَغْلِبُوا أَلْفَى
You Would Overcome A Thousand Meaning For Every
Muslim You Can Take On 10 Disbelievers Every
Believer Can Take On 10 Disbelievers Why?
Because Of The Iman That They Have And
Their Patience That They Have What It Means
According To A Number Of The Scholars Of
Tafsir Is That If The Muslim Army Was
To Come And There Were A Hundred In
Number And The Enemy Was A Thousand Then
It Wouldn'T Be Permissible For Them To Flee
From That Battlefield Those Numbers, Those Odds Are
Not Too Great They Should Remain Steadfast Trust
In Allah And Do As Allah Commanded In
That Place That'S What The Verse Is Referring
To Meaning That This Is How The Believers
Should Be In Their Mindset That Allah Azzawajal
Iman In Him Patience With Allah Azzawajal Trust
In Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Should Give The
Believers That Type Of Encouragement That Type Of
Motivation To Fight Even If Those Are The
Odds Just As The Companions Did In A
Number Of Battles Whether It Was The Battle
Of Badr Or Uhud Or Whatever They Were
Often The Ones Who Were Outnumbered But That
Difference In Number Didn'T Make Them Change Their
Mind Or Flee Or Say That We'Re
Not Going To Fight For The Sake Of
Allah Azzawajal But Then Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
Made This Easy In Verse 66 And He
Said But
Allah Has Lighten Your Burden For You Knowing
That There Is Weakness In You A Steadfast
Hundred Of You Will Defeat Two Hundred And
A Steadfast Thousand Of You Will Defeat Two
Thousand By Allah'S Permission For Allah Is With
The Steadfast So Allah Azzawajal Made It Easier
From One Believer To Ten Disbelievers He Made
It One To Two One Believer For Every
Two Disbelievers And So Allah Azzawajal Says That
He Made It Easy For You A Hundred
Can Defeat Two Hundred A Thousand Can Defeat
Two Thousand Meaning One To The Ratio Of
Two Is What The Believers Should Be Because
Of The Strength Of The Iman And Their
Belief In Allah And Their Trust In Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala And If It'S More Than
That Then There Is No Harm Upon Them
Meaning If You Are Numbered Three To One,
Four To One, Five To One, Six To
One Then There Is No Harm On You
In Terms Of Having A Different Strategy Rather
Than Facing The Enemy If That Is What
Is Being Referred To And So This Is
Something Which Allah Azzawajal Speaks About Here Again
As We Said Before A Couple Of Episodes
Ago Allah Azzawajal Doesn'T Only Focus On The
Physical, Tangible, Materialistic Issues Of Strength But Rather
The Strength Of Iman And This Is, I
Know Even Though We Are Talking About The
Context Of The Battle Of Badr And War
And Battles And So On But This Is
A Principle That Is Only Applied To This
It Is A Principle For The Life Of
The Muslim Me And You Inshallah We Are
Not Facing Any Battles We Are Not Going
Through Any Wars But The Principle Is The
Same If You Have Spiritual Strength You Can
Overcome Odds And Hardships That Many Of The
People Just Because Of Their Lack Of Iman
And Their Weakness Of Faith And So On
They Would Crumble Before Those Challenges But The
Believer Can Overcome Them The Believer Can Have
The Strength And The Steadfastness And The Patience
By Allah's Command To Overcome Those Challenges Why?
Because They Believe In Allah They Trust In
Allah They Have The Ibadah Of Allah Subhanahu
Wa'Ta'Ala Allah Azzawajal Says In Verse Number
67 The Next Verse He Says Subhanahu Wa'Ta
'Ala It
Is Not Right For A Prophet To Take
Captives Before He Has Conquered The Battlefield You
Desire The Transient Goods Of This World But
Allah Desires The Hereafter For You Allah Is
Almighty Or Wise This Is The Correction That
Allah Azzawajal Gave To His Prophet Salallahu Alaihe
Wasalam For An Incident That Took Place After
The Battle Of Badr As We Know The
Muslims Were Victorious In The Battle Of Badr
And They Had A Number Of The Quraish
That They Killed But Also A Number That
They Had Caught Captive They Had Caught Them
And They Had Made Them Prisoners Of War
These Captives Now They Had To Decide What
To Do With Them Do They Kill Them?
Do They Just Free Them And Set Them
Free Or Do They Ransom Them And This
Is Where The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam Sought
The Shura And The Advice Of Two Of
His Companions Because No Revelation Had Yet Come
Regarding This.
No Command From Allah Had Come Or Instruction
Had Come Regarding This And Remember This Is
The First Major Battlefield The First Time That
The Spoils Of War Being Allowed And So
This Is A New Terrain If You Like
For The Believers Abu Bakr R.A Said
O Messenger Of Allah These Are Our Family
Members That Are Our Kin, Our Kith And
We Are Weak Meaning We Don'T Have You
Know The Whole Point Of This Was The
Caravan And Give Some Wealth To The Muslims
And Help Them Out So Why Don'T We
Ransom Them And Will Benefit From That Umar
R.A Said O Messenger Of Allah They
Came To Destroy Us They Came To Kill
Us They Didn'T Want Anything Except Our Death
So We Should Make An Example Of Them
And Kill Them Meaning Put Them To The
Sword Execute Them The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam
Weighed Up Both Of Those And He Chose
The Position Of Abu Bakr R.A And
He Ransomed Them And As We Know A
Number Of Them Were Ransomed And They Were
Freed And They Were Sent Back To The
People Of Mecca Allah Azzawajal Then Revealed This
Verse And Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Said To
The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ
أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْقِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ
It Is Not Right For A Prophet To
Take Captives Before He Has Conquered The Battlefield
Meaning Before The Muslims Have Strength In The
Land Meaning That What He Should Have Done
Is Rather Than Give Them Back Because Then
Again They Will Go Back And They Will
Again Collude Against The Muslims And They Will
Conspire Against Them And They Will Come And
Attack You One Of The Time You Should
Have Executed Them Because The Muslims Need To
Build Up Their Strength And Once They Are
Strong Then The Muslim Rule Has The Option
Whether To Execute Or To Ransom Or To
Free Willingly Freely Whatever He Wants To Do
That Is Up To Him As Allah Azzawajal
Mentions Also In The Quran For Example In
Surah Muhammad However Here In This Particular Incident
In This Situation It Would Have Been Better
For You To Free Them Rather Than To
Rather Than To Sorry To Kill Them Rather
Than To Ransom Them And So Allah Azzawajal
Corrected If You Like The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe
Wasalam With This And It'S Not Something Which
The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam Sinned In Obviously
Didn'T Disobey Allah Because No Instruction Had Yet
To Come From Allah Azzawajal And So This
Was Ijtihad From The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam
And Allah Azzawajal Says تُرِيدُونَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا وَاللَّهُ
يُرِيدُ الْآخِرَةَ Because You'Re Looking At The
Transient Benefits Of The Dunya But Allah Is
Looking At The Desire Of The Hereafter And
Allah Azzawajal Is Almighty And All-Wise And
So The Position Of Umar R.A Was
The One That Allah Azzawajal Sided With As
Opposed To The Position Of Abu Bakr R
.A But There Was Obviously A Lesson In
This As Well Shows The Way That The
Leader Should Behave On The Battlefield Shows And
That'S Why Even The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam
When He Makes Decisions Like This There Is
Rahmah In It There Is Mercy In It
There Is Goodness In It Because There Are
Lessons To Be Taken From It And So
Allah Azzawajal From His Wisdom Could Have He
Could Have Allah Azzawajal Could Have Instructed Given
Revelation Do This Don'T Do That But Allah
Left It For The Prophet Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam
Because There Is Benefit In Doing So And
There Is Wisdom In Doing So And So
As We Know Many Of Those Captives Who
Were Freed In The Battle Of Badr Would
Later On Accept Islam And They Would Become
Muslims Themselves As Well Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
Then Says In Verse 68 لَوْ لَا كِتَابٌ
مِّنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِي مَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ
عَظِيمٌ And Had You Not Been Preordained By
Allah A Severe Punishment Would Have Come Upon
You For What You Have Taken Meaning The
War Beauty Because The Ransom Is Part Of
The Spoils Of War But Allah Azzawajal Already
Ordained That It Is Halal That Is Permissible
For You To Do So So The Prophet
Salallahu Alaihe Wasalam Didn'T Do Anything Wrong Or
Haram As We Said It Was Allowed For
Him To Take War Beauty And So Both
Of Those Options Were Valid And He Chose
A Valid Option Even Though Allah Azzawajal Said
That There Was A Better Option That You
Should Have Taken And That'S Why Allah Azzawajal
Says That Allah Already Preordained That It Was
Permissible For You To Do What You Did
So Therefore There Is No Punishment Upon You
Meaning The Prophet Didn'T Sin Abu Bakr Didn'T
Sin The Muslims Didn'T Do Anything Haram With
That Ransom That They Took They Were Ordered
To Give It Back They Were Ordered To
Give Up That Wealth That They Had Taken
In Ransom So Allah Azzawajal Accepted What They
Did But Rather It Was A Lesson In
Terms Of Looking At What Is More Or
Better Or What Is What Is A Greater
In Terms Of The Longer Term Effect And
That Is Why The Last Verse We Will
Take Verse 69 Allah Azzawajal Then Says فَكُلُوا
مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ
غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ So Enjoy In A Good And
Lawful Manner The Things That You Have Gained
In War And Be Mindful Of Allah For
He Is Forgiving And Merciful So Allah Azzawajal
Allowed It And He Forgave Them And He
Said That What You Have Done Is Halal
For You And It'S Pure For You Because
You Took It In A Way That Was
Halal And That Was Pure And So Therefore
Allah Azzawajal Says Fear Allah Thank Allah Be
Grateful To Allah Azzawajal And Allah Is All
Forgiving And Allah Azzawajal Is All Merciful And
With That We Come To The End Of
Today'S Episode بارك الله فيكم وصلى الله على
