Asif Hirani – Ayah of the Night Ramadan Day 4

			From just 4th, I want to highlight the
		

			incident of Uhud in particular ayah, where Allah
		

			says
		

			in the middle of the
		

			This ayah is actually giving us the reason
		

			why Muslims lost battle of Uhud, and our
		

			70 companions
		

			lost their lives and achieved the status of
		

			martyrdom. It's very interesting battle of Uhud happened
		

			after battle of Badr. But in the sequence
		

			of Quran, battle of Uhud comes before, and
		

			Badr al Badr will come in Suratul al
		

			Infal.
		

			One of the reason which scholars give is
		

			that we need to learn from our mistakes
		

			before we can actually enjoy our celebration of
		

			victory because Badr al Badr was a victory.
		

			Now in this particular ayah, Allah gave the
		

			exact same reason
		

			for our loss, what Allah gave in Suratul
		

			Anfal exact same reason for the victory in
		

			badar. Allah
		

			says, and this had been another issue, You
		

			have not lost a battle because of lack
		

			of resources. Because whoever have studied Islamic history,
		

			they know lack of resources is never an
		

			issue for us. We were less in terms
		

			of resources in Badr, in Uhud, in Tabuk,
		

			in different battles.
		

			Our issue has always been internal conflicts. Our
		

			issue has always been not organizing properly. Here
		

			in battle of Uhud, Allah
		

			says,
		

			That you disobeyed the instructions and hierarchy given
		

			from you, and you disputed within it.
		

			This is a reason
		

			why we start losing the battle of Uhud
		

			when we could have won that battle, but
		

			tables were turned over because we know these
		

			story of what happened in battle of Uhud.
		

			In even in today's society,
		

			if we want to give the ummah, the
		

			lost glory back, we have to work from
		

			inside and we have to get organized and
		

			we have to finish these inner conflicts so
		

			that eventually we can become more power from
		

			from inside, and we can offer a positive
		

			change to the entire world.
