Taleem al Quran 2021 J04-049B Tafsir Aal-e-Imran 121

Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim, verse number 121, the verses that you just heard, and we just did the translation off these verses of Surah Al Imran were revealed about the Battle of or heard, and these verses are mentioned right after the ayah verse number 120 of Surah Al Iran, which teaches us a very important principle, Allah subhanaw taala says in verse number 120, that income Cisco has and don't assume we're into Cebu comes a year to a year for who will be happy that your enemy is such that if something good reaches you, they become upset and if some evil hits you, they rejoice because of that. We're in the hospital with a taco and if you are patient and you adopt the qua, then lie

you'll do Kincaid the home che their plot will not harm you at all in the law Habima er MeLuna Mohib Indeed, Allah is encompassing of whatever that they do. So, in this ayah is a very important principle, which is that if you are patient and you adopt aqua, then the plot of those who hate you will not harm you at all. And after mentioning this principle, Allah soprano three dimensions examples now which prove that when you have Sobor and Taqwa then the plot of your enemy cannot harm you. So Allah subhanaw taala says in these verses, I will first do an overview and then we will go in detail succeed. Allah subhanaw taala says, What is recall when without them in Lika tubo we will

move me Nina Mercari, the little crittall recall when you left your family meaning Oh Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam you left your family to post the believers at their stations for the battle will allow Samir on Alim and Allah is Hearing and knowing and this was at or heard, and what happened at the beginning is that it hamata if a tiny men come and talk Shala will Allahu Allah Yahama while Allah He Philea tawa Khalil Mook, me known when two parties among you were about to lose courage, but Allah who was their ally and upon Allah, the believers should rely. And then Allah Subhana Allah mentions by the will of God, the Nazzaro qumola Who be better in what unto Avila. So

this is the example that Allah helped you in better. Why? Because you were patient, and you were conscious of Allah, you obeyed Allah. So Allah aided you even though you were so few and you had very little resources and what happened in Ohio, in Ohio? Yes, you suffered a huge loss. Why? Because your suburb and Taqwa were not at the level that they should have been at. So you suffered harm, right because of the chaos of your enemy. Why? Because you did not have sub and Taqwa at the level that you should have had. So, these examples show they demonstrate that if you are patient and you have Taqwa than Allah's help will certainly come to you and the plot of your enemy and your

enemy could be some people could be shaitan, that plot cannot harm you at all. But if you fall short, in your suburb, in your patients and in your taqwa your consciousness of Allah, then what will happen? What happened and are heard that the case of the enemy will harm you and you will suffer at their hands? So let's look at these verses now in detail. Allah subhanaw taala mentions what a Bilodeau term in Affleck and recall when you left your family, why did you leave your family because you were going somewhere you are going to hurt and what did you do at or hurt to Bowie? Oh me Nina Makari the little pital you were posting the believers at their stations for battle? Well,

lo Samir and Eileen and Allah is Hearing and knowing now the word Allah Dota is from the root letters lane that wow and hoodoo means morning and it also means Lada y'all do is to set out in the morning. Okay, you need to go somewhere in the morning and Salah to hada solitude over that is solitude. Okay, so Laura Yeah, who do is to set out to go somewhere in the early morning and it also means just to go any just to leave. So here both meanings are applicable. Why? Because when we look at what happened when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam left than both of these meetings are applicable. Now remember that this occurred in either the Battle of or hurt was in the third year

after the Hijrah. Okay.

So what evil adata This is referring to the third year after the Hijrah at the Battle of Ohio. Remember that when Allah subhanaw taala aided the believers at budget, okay in the first major battle, which is also called the omal for on the day of the criterion why because that is the day which clearly showed the victory of the Muslims the truth of the Muslims. And on that day the elders of Quraysh were killed. So, when the elders of Quraysh were killed, and the Cornish suffered a humiliating defeat, they intended to take revenge. So what they did is that they prepared an army of 3000 men strong and they advanced towards Medina in order to fight the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

wasallam. So when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam received news of the approaching army, he gathered the believers and he asked them on their opinion as to how to combat this army. Now the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself was of the opinion that the Muslims should stay in Medina and they should just defend themselves from inside Medina, any he did not feel that they had the capacity to go out into an open battlefield and face the army over there, he felt that it was better for them to stay in Medina and to just defend themselves from there. And he said to the Muslims, that he had a dream in which he was shown that the edge of his sword had broken in he saw

this in his dream that the edge of a sword had broken and he said can only feed that are in Hasina any that I see that I am in a secure that there is armor. In another version, he said that I see that I am in a secure fortress, and he said that I saw cows being slaughtered what an eight to Bacala Munna Hara and he interpreted this as any he saw himself in a secure fortress. So he interpreted this as fighting from inside Medina, because Medina had natural protections, and they could use those natural protections to their advantage. And we see that many elders among the companions actually agreed with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, that yes, they did not have

the capacity to go outside of Medina and face the army in an open Battlefield, and even the chief of the hypocrites our beloved obey whose hypocrisy had not yet been revealed. He also agreed with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that yes, we should stay in Medina, and we should just defend ourselves from here. However, the younger companions, okay, who had not been present at Bethel, they were of the opinion that No, we should go out to fight the enemy in the open. Why? Because they missed out on participating in better remember that brother came about basically unplanned, all right, the Muslims had gone to pursue a caravan of the machete keen, but the machine sent an army to

defend that caravan and the caravan escaped. Okay, so what happened now is that a battle ended up happening, and the Muslims were victorious. And the people of budded, who were basically only 300, and the army that the feast was of 1000. Imagine now the army of 300 was victorious. Subhanallah, they had a great status, the people of blood that have a great status. So those who were not present at birth, regretted a great deal. And they wished for a similar opportunity. And they saw or heard as that opportunity, they saw that okay, if another army is coming have 3000. And now we actually have a chance to prepare and we are expecting this battle, then yes, we got to go here we got to

participate in this battle. And we can reach the same level the same ranks as the people of other so they wanted to fight alongside the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a full scale battle. So they insisted that No, we should go outside Medina and we should fight the enemy in the open, and they said that Madhu Killa to Elena Phil Jaya Helia have a tooth Hello, Elena, Phil Islam, that no army ever entered upon us, meaning in Medina injure Helia before Islam. So why should it be that after we have become Muslim, we just sit here and wait for the army to come and when they come then we defend ourselves any day thought that this was weakness? So they were very loud and vocal in

their opinion that no we should go out and fight the enemy in the open. So the prophets of Allah who earlier said I'm accepted that and the prophets of Allah, Who are you selling went to wear his armor to get ready for battle, and while he was gone to get ready for battle, the elders among the companions now reprimanded the youth

For that you are forcing the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam to go outside of Medina, even though he told you about his preference, and he told you about his preference based on what he saw in a dream and what he interpreted that dream to be. So he doesn't want to stay in Medina out of cowardice, no, but because of his dream, but you're forcing him to go outside Medina. So now what happened? The younger companions basically felt really bad and they regretted. And so when the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam came out of his house wearing his armor, they apologize to him, and they said, Oh, Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa salam, if you want, we will stay in Medina and we will

fight the enemy from inside Medina. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Not now and he said lay Selena begin either lebih Salah Mehta who and Eudora had the yukata, that it does not befit a prophet, that after he has worn his armor, he removes it and before having fought, he, this is something that does not fit a profit. Now I have put on my armor, I am not taking it off until I have fought the enemy. And in a report we learned that he was wearing Double Armor that day because he anticipated a heavy battle. And all of these details that I've mentioned to you are based on Hadith, and one of them is reported and was not documented. So what happened the Prophet sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam then commanded everyone to leave for battle and he leave Medina and they were now going to go towards or hurt in order to face the army over there. Now the thing is that in battle, you have to be decisive. Okay, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam consulted everyone. And once a decision was agreed upon, right, then what happened the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stuck to it, even though afterwards some people came and said, Oh, we can do something else, we can do what you wanted to do in the first place. No, but the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, he did not change his mind then why? Because in matters that are serious, that affect everyone, you cannot say

one thing one day and then change your plan the other day and then change it again and then change it again. If you keep changing your plan, then it becomes very difficult to get anywhere. So you have to be decisive. You cannot be agreeable. So once this decision was reached, that we're going to face the army outside we're gonna go outside Medina, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stuck to that plan. Now, at Ohio, remember that the Quraysh were 3000 in number in the army that was approaching from Makkah was off 3000 men strong. And the Muslims who left Medina in order to face them were 1000 in number. So the Muslims departed from Medina and the Quraysh had actually already

reached or heard. All right. And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam reached on Friday, late morning or after tomorrow, and the next day, on Saturday morning, the battle took place. So the words were in the Dota. And when you set out here, Lada means in you set out Lada in the early morning for battle. And this was when on Saturday, on Saturday, early morning, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam went out for battle, or Lala here means that you set out for battle on Friday from Medina. And that was not in the morning. Okay, that was sometime later in the day. And then well that just means setting out at some point during the day. Okay, so what Illa Dota min Alec from your family, Allah

subhanaw taala is praising His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that you set out in a you went away from your family, you left your family. And on Friday, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam left from the house of our Chateau de la hora and her and then he went with the army they left Medina they reached or hurt. Now, the words mean a relic from your family. If you think about it, these words don't appear to be that necessary in order to understand that the reference is to the Battle of overheard, right, these words could have been left out that you went away in you for battle to settle the believers in their positions for the battle. Right? But Allah subhanaw taala

mentioned this detail min Alec that you left your family and this detail is something that Allah subhanaw taala is especially highlighting over here. Why? Because it is not easy to leave your family in order to do something that is so dangerous. Allah subhanaw taala notices the steps that you take Allah subhanaw taala appreciates the sacrifices that you make and when you leave

Leave your family, your loved ones in order to do something for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. You know, sometimes you're simply leaving your family in the living room in order to get up and pray Salah right now for someone else, this might not be a big deal, but for you it is you were sitting so comfortably with everyone, you were enjoying playing with your children eating maybe with your family, or you know, just sitting with them, but you leave them in order to do something for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. And this is a sacrifice that Allah subhanaw taala notices, and he appreciates because he knows that this is not easy. And remember the reward is in proportion to the

effort or the sacrifice that a person makes right now we're not expected to leave our families all the time. No, here this was an unusual situation where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had to come out of the house of Isla de la hora leave his family in Medina, and then go outside in order to face the army. And you can you know, maybe think about how I shall dwell on where and how was feeling at the time. And how the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam felt at that time when someone goes to battle wearing armor, you don't know if they will return. You are expecting injury, right? There is fear. There is sadness. And there's also rage, anger at the enemy. So Allah subhanaw taala

knows what you're feeling what you're going through for someone else. It's just you're leaving your house in order to go do something. But for you the sadness that you feel in your heart, Allah subhanaw taala knows that the pain of separation, Allah subhanaw taala knows that Allah knows what you're going through. What a blood OTA mean, Alec, when you went away from your family, and then to Bowie almost meaning as you settled, the believers were Makari the little pita in positions for battle. Now look at this, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he left Medina and then he stuck to the plan. Right? He went to a herd and he began posting the believers at their stations for

battle. Now, the word to Bowie Oh means then zeal. It's from the root letters back. Well, Hamza, okay. And but wha hoo, means that He lodged him, and he assigned a place for him. And then he took him there. So imagine, if you have, let's say, your family visiting. All right, and now, all of a sudden, there's lots of cousins, lots of children at home, you're not just going to let them sleep wherever they want. No, you're going to tell them, Okay, you sleep here, you sleep here, you sleep here, right? You're going to be on the bed, you're going to be on the floor, you're going to be on the couch, right? So this is the one that you assign a place for someone, and then you take them

there. First you assign you select, you choose a place where someone's going to be and then you take them there. So if data and unzila so to Bowie Oh, you were assigning you were settling the believers and what we need for love Mortman Where were you settling them? Where were you assigning them places? Makari, the little pital mCherry is the portal of McCarthy from the root letters off is that and Cara is to sit McCarthy is a place of sitting. Now here, it doesn't mean that he was telling them where each person should sit. No. Mockery means positions stations. Okay? And the word Makarand is used for that because when you're sitting somewhere that's your spot, right? So you stay there.

So McCarthy here means that these were designated positions for the fighters in battle that they will require to remain in their places all right, and fight the enemy from there. So what happened? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam first of all didn't say to the Muslims that you know, this was your idea to go fight the enemy out in the open so figure it out yourselves know the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam played his role as a leader and he appointed a place for every person. So to bow we all want me Nina maclary the little Qatal means that he was saying you stand here to the right you stand here to the left. You stand here in the front you in the back you hear you there so

on and so forth. And he he did not take the army has a crowd that okay, together as a group, we're going to fight the enemy know, he appointed a place a designated place for each individual. And he there was a lot of

strategy and planning involved over here. Why? Because the Muslims were 1000 and the Mushrikeen were 3000 there were three times their number, and the machine had come well prepared for the battle. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he took the army and then he appointed a place for each person to bow we will move Medina MacArthur, Ada little pital for the battle Patel is from cough dalla Katella is to kill pital is battle in which the intention is to kill the other. So this was not an ordinary event. This was something very serious until the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he planned accordingly. And not only did he ne appoint people at different places and tell them what

they should do, how they should fight the enemy, but he also gave some individuals the flags. So for example, most Arban are made of de la Horne who was given the flag. So there was a lot of strategy and planning and this strategy and planning is being praised over here. Why because Allah subhanaw taala says and sort of soft is number four, that in Allah you him ballerina ukata Luna V Sebelius Safa cat unknown Bonilla, no more Seuss that indeed, Allah loves those who fight in his cars in a row as though they are a single structure joined firmly any those who fight in a row as if they are a single structure. So insert Soph roles are mentioned. Right. And here designated spots are

mentioned. Because both are required. In some situations, roles must be formed and in other situations, and you have to appoint people very strategically, and it's necessary that the roles are clear, and everyone is on the same page. So who is going to make sure that the roles are clear, everyone is on the same page. This is the job of the leader and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam played his role as a leader very well, on the day of health. Now erode is a mile long series of mountains. Okay, in the north of Medina, Ohio, there's not just one hill, it's a series of mountains in the northwest of Medina. And it's a mile long, anywhere that you are in Medina, you can

see or hood, okay, and the prophets of Allah who it is and by the way, loved are heard. And he said that this is a mountain that loves us. So the prophets of Allah who are using them took the army to a spot by the foot of the mountain where basically three sides were protected by the mountain. Okay, so think of it as an oak, okay, at the foot of the mountain, where he wanted to strategically placed the army in such a way that the army would be protected from three sides, okay, from the right, the left and also the back. And why like this so that there would be a small area, basically, where the machine would be forced to fight the Muslims at, okay, and when this is a small area, that means

that the large number of the enemy would be irrelevant, okay. Why because now the Muslims are, you know, strategically placed in such a way that the enemy cannot approach them from the right or from the left, or from the back. They're forced to fight the Muslims from just one side. Okay. Now, this is where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam placed the army and now there was a small opening, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam basically appointed 50 Archers, okay, there was a small open side in the center. So the prophets of Allah who are using them sealed that opening by appointing 50 Archers. Why so that if anybody would try to come from there, the archers would shoot

arrows at them, and keep them away this way the army would be secure now, from that side as well. Now the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam instructed these archers, he said, stick to your place and do not leave it even if you see birds snatching us, until I send for you. And if you see that we have defeated the enemy, and we have made them flee even then you should not leave your place until I send for you Subhan Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave them very clear instructions to bow we will move me Nina Mercari, the little pital. So the way the prophets of Allah who are it isn't in place to everyone. What happened now is that there was basically a small area of

300 meters where there was an opening. And this was the only place where the enemy would be able to reach the Muslims and this is where they would fight. So now the great number of the enemy would be irrelevant because they would not be able to squeeze through that small area of 300 meters. Okay, so this strategy allows for

Hello thought is praising over here to bow we will move me Nina McCarty the little kitten. And these words encourage us to adopt appropriate means to achieve our desired goals. The thing is that success comes from Allah azza wa jal, right and yes you put your trust in Allah. But this does not mean that you do not do any planning or any work on your part. No, the work goal does not contradict using us Bob as Bob our means, means planning, resources, etc, that you adopt in order to achieve your desired goals. reliance upon Allah is not contrary to that. No, it goes hand in hand, both go together, you have to have full faith and Allah and you also have to use whatever means Allah

subhanaw taala has provided to you and remember that the help of Allah comes through us Bab even though Allah subhanaw taala is not limited to us Bab okay. So you use the means the resources that are available to you and you hope that Allah subhanaw taala will grant you success through them. All right now the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was for most in putting his trust in Allah. And along with that, look at this a the Herodotus and Alec he sat out early in the morning, he sat out from his family, he didn't stay in Medina he left all right, because that was the decision that everyone made together. And then he was posting the believers on their designated spots for battle ye in

order to gain victory. That was the goal. Allah Subhana Allah says, Will Allah Who Samir and Salim and Allah is ever hearing ever knowing Allah is Samir ever hearing off what you owe prophet? sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to the believers in Medina, what did he say to them in Medina, that we should fight from inside Medina, he told them about the dream that he had, he told them about the interpretation. And he told them about his opinion. Right. And Allah subhanaw taala is Samir of those who said that? No, we should go out and fight in the open. You can imagine whenever a group of people are trying to reach a decision together, there's a lot of back and forth, right? Some people

are very polite, some people are very passionate. Some people just give, you know a small opinion, they give a very small contribution. Some people contribute more to the discussion, right? Some people are very emotional, or rather, they're very impulsive. They don't pay attention to how they're talking how they are expressing themselves. Some people get very angry, some people get very annoyed. So Allah is Samir. He hears all voices, all opinions, all expressions. And Allah is Samir also of those who said that this does not seem like a battle, and they abandon the Muslims. And this was the hypocrites. We learned that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was on the way to

hurt our beloved obey even saloon, he said that I am going to go back, I'm going back to Medina, I am not going for this because this is not a battle. And he, he basically disagreed with the plan to fight the enemy at a hug. And he said that, you know, I wanted to remain in Medina and defend the city from within. And you guys didn't accept my opinion, my suggestion, so I don't agree with your plan, and I will have no part in it. I am not going to go with you. So our beloved obey when he said this, many of his people actually followed him, because they were hypocrites like him. And there were others who became weak hearted. And so they left along with our beloved obey. So in total, 300

men returned to Medina, with our beloved obey. Now this was a third of the Army, can you imagine? Now 700 Muslims were left with the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam to fight the enemy of 3000, even then, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam did not give up and he did not say that there is no point in doing anything. This is going to be a major defeat, this is going to be a major loss. No, they decided that they were going to go for battle, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam put on his armor, and he was not a quitter. So he took those 700 Muslims with him and he made a plan and he began posting the believers at their positions were Allah Who Samir on Eileen, Allah is Knowing

of what you were doing. And Allah is Knowing of what is in the heart of each person. Why did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say that they should stay in Medina because he felt that that was a better plan to ward off such a huge army. Why did our beloved obey say that they should stay in Medina because our beloved obey was a coward. He was a hypocrite. He didn't want to fight. He just wanted to hide in his home. He didn't want to make any psycho

vices he didn't want to take any risks? So Allah knew of the hypocrisy in the heart of our beloved obey. And why is it that the younger companions were eager to go out and fight in the open because they wanted the high ranks that the people have budgeted God. So Allah subhanaw taala knew of the sincerity in their heart. And if you think about it on the surface, those who wish to go outside of Medina to fight made a poor choice, because you know that the battle of Ohio turned into a major loss. Right? So 70 Muslims were killed on the day of or hurt, many more Muslims were severely wounded and injured, almost everyone was severely injured. And Allah subhanaw taala knew the

sincerity and the heart of those who wanted to go out in the open and fight, right and he rewarded them accordingly. On the other hand, those who returned to Medina, the hypocrites apparently made a very smart choice, because they saved themselves from trouble from difficulty of the battle. But Allah subhanaw taala knew of the insincerity and the hypocrisy that was in their heart, we just see the surface, right, who was lucky that day, who was safe that they didn't get hurt, and who suffered that day, who got injured, who got killed, we just see the surface but Allah subhanaw taala knows the condition of the heart, and He gives the recompense based on that. So those who suffered that

day, the believers, Allah subhanaw taala gave them reward in proportion to their injury and their struggle in the way of Allah. Why because they were sincere, and those who save themselves that day, by abandoning the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam then look at what happened to them, their hypocrisy also came out. Right, and the punishment of hypocrisy is that the hypocrites will be the lowest level of help with every other Biller, so we'll know who Samira and Eileen, Allah is Hearing and he is knowing
