Today is the 17th of Ramadan, and 14 140 years ago today, the

monumental battle of brother to place the first major battle and a

turning point in the history of Islam. And of course, one of the

few battles explicitly discussed in the Holy Quran.

The Battle of other accursed only distinguishing the A

history indeed, a day mentioned by name in the Quran is yo ml for on

falsehood was made clear. A day on which the two armies met Yeoman

This battle of visit provides complex insights to many social,

political, spiritual, military and humanitarian issues.

Let us reflect only on two aspects. Briefly of this

magnificent battle of better

firstly,

remember the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his family and

most of his companions had hardly migrated from Mecca to Medina. And

a few months perhaps nine months after that the Qureshi Mexican

army of approximately 1000 well armed season fighters came to

annihilate them.

For the first time, permission was given, there were six I arts prior

to this, revealed in Makkah, regarding jihad. None of them were

pertaining to Qatar, Jihad coming, striving, struggling internally

externally, for the first time, permission to take up arms,

physical jihad, guitar itself, permission was given to the nearly

Allah, permission now to fight is given to you because they have

been wronged, expelled from your homes without justification, just

because of your faith in Allah. And of course, the verse goes on

Iran, if some people will not to stand up, and Allah caused him to

repel other people, churches, mosques, synagogues, and

monasteries, were Allah's name is mentioned would have been

destroyed.

So Muslims were peaceful, did not take up arms, but after 13 years

in Mecca, and the Qureshi, persecution, ostracization,

victimization, exclusion, oppression, property confiscation,

there was even an attempted assassination on the Rasul and now

a declaration of war. The Muslims therefore, peaceful as they were,

had to now take up arms and defend the faith, hence, the Battle of

other

Secondly, the Muslims were few in number compared to the attackers,

another battle when the Muslims for the first time out number the

opposition at the Battle of inane

for Yo Ma Nene Castro to come for them Tony, Uncle Misha at the day

of her name, you're elated by your numbers, you're impressed you will

be dazzled by your numbers. But your numbers did not help you. In

fact, the Muslims initially on the retreat until they recovered. So

what we see from this struggle was for truth, for goodness and for

justice. But it's always about the quality of the people and the

goodness that they stood for, rather than the amount of

believers who fought always about quality rather than quantity.

Let us reflect on this for a moment.

wise ones have said

not everything that can be counted, counts and not everything

that counts can be counted.

How much is not always equal to how good how much. He's not always

equal to how good he is.

See, we are living in a world inundated with more. Everything is

supersize. Everything is more.

We now have bigger houses, far bigger houses, but fewer happier

homes. We are communicating much more than ever before. But I'm

much less connected with each other. We have far more knowledge

at our disposal. But less wisdom it seems, we have more medication,

yet far less well being. We have more religions all over the show,

yet less values.

We have many more human beings get far less humanity.

So rather, from all of this, we realize, measure people and things

by value, not by numbers in by cost.

The Battle of butter offers as many phenomenal lessons for

reflection, lessons for introspection, and for

appreciation. And among the lessons we learn, firstly,

the need for us to appreciate the historic role played by the early

Muslims in standing up against tremendous odds to defend the true

second point, as a principle, people of faith do not hesitate to

fight for justice and for goodness, against oppression and

injustice. Though in essence, ours is a religion of peace, not a

culture of violence. Ours is a philosophy of love, not as

attitude of aid.

Thirdly, as people of faith, realize that it is not what

quantitative numerical position you occupy. Rather, it is what

qualitative contribution that you make. Always quality rather than

quantity. May Allah grant the values of other the highest in
