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

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

And we gave again to a culture we have to worry about everything

who brought Islam here. Today is 320 days 20 years ago to the

He's forgotten that many of us and we get into a culture of debate
