Lesson
laa tahinuu – (Faint not), it means, “Don’t be depressed, do not
be lazy, do not dishearten. Keep moving on the right path with complete faith
and confidence”.
laa tahzanuu – (do not
grieve), usually someone feels grief about the past shortness and
depravities.
‘al-‘a’-lawna – (you will
overcome), it aims each type of superiority, prevalence, overcoming, influence,
mastery and excess – either that is spiritual or material. Here it means
material overcoming.
This verse has also revealed in the course of the
circumstances of the Battle of ‘Uhud.
When the Muslims were being broken due to wounds, dead bodies of many braves
and young were lying before them, the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) had been wounded also and apparently symptoms
of weakness of the Muslims were found. During such conditions, Allah Almighty
revealed this hopeful Message, “O Muslims! Do not be hopeless due to fear of
harshness and do not show your weakness opposite to the cruelties of the
enemies of the religion. Last victory is of you and you will overcome them if you
are indeed Believers and stand still in strive and struggle (Jihaad) obeying the commands of the
Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).
Due to these glad tidings, broken hearts of the
Muslims were tied. New strength in the arms of the crusaders and stability in their
intentions sprang up. The Infidels who were spreading over the Muslims and expanding
forward they were attacking continuously, could not bear this new attack of the
Crusaders of Islam and surrendered to the extent that they ran away leaving the
battlefield behind.
A skillful subject comes out from this verse that
is to say; most necessary condition to obtain the mastery over the enemies of
the Just is Faith. As the number of Muslims is not sufficient; the battle
equipment is less in quantity, even then they can get the upper hand over
Infidels with the help of Allah Almighty, if their belief in Allah Almighty is
strong and firm. Then success and exaltation comes automatically.
The biggest difference between Believer and
Disbeliever is that, ‘most precious thing for the Believer is obedience of
Allah Almighty and love with His Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him). He does Muhammadan
Religious War (crusade) for the most dignified Word of Allah Almighty
sacrificing his every thing. On the contrary, most beloved thing for a
Disbeliever is his own life. Wherever he will feel danger for his life, he will
run away, while A Believer makes an offering of his life in the Path of Allah
Almighty in stake’. Therefore, no power can stay before him. There is dire need
of the ardor of the faith today too.
