In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
38. O ye who believe! What aileth you that when
it is said unto you: Go forth in the Way of Allah, ye are bowed down to the
ground with heaviness. Take ye pleasure in the life of the world rather than
in the Hereafter? The provision of the life of the world is but little than
in the Hereafter.

Lesson
‘Anfiruu – (Go forth), it is a word of command from the word
nafara. Nafara means “to proceed, to depart, to be ready quickly for
going”.
‘As-saaqal-tum – (you bow down with heaviness), the origin of this
word is ’is-saaqal-tum, which is a
changed form of saa-qal. It has been derived from the word saqala,
which is a famous word and which means “a load, burden”. ’Is-saaqulun means “to bow down being burdened”.
Mataa-‘un – (the provision), except gold and silver, all things,
which are held in the world for rest and ease of the human being, are call “mataaa’”.
Those people, who meditate in whatsoever has been described in this Surah
(Chapter) and the Surah before it, can understand easily the meaning of
Jihad (to try and strive, Muhammadan Religious War, the Crusade) and
they have no doubt in it that Jihad means “to try for correction of the humankind
according to the Commands of God Almighty; by accepting that He is the greatest
Lord of all, and along with it; to endeavor to show oneself as a pattern of own
conduct, personal deeds and manners”. The war is necessary at that time when
any person or nation interrupts in the way of the correctness of the humankind;
being proud, haughty and arrogant.
Therefore, an ambassador of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) proceeded unto the Arabian Christians Ruler at the boundary
of Syria for conveying the teachings of Islam. In the way, any one of the
Christians killed that Ambassador. The Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) sent a group of Army, for admonition of the
Christians, to take revenge of such unreasonable conduct.
To fight against that Muslim group of Army, the entire Christians of
Syria and the people of Caesar of Rome, under whose command were these Syrian
Christians, rulers of Arab, assembled. Fighters of the Christians, who came
forward in the battlefield; were about one hundred thousand and in the Muslim
Army; there were only three thousand soldiers. They faced to one another in the
Battlefield of Motah.
This incident was happened in 8th Hijra. Khalid
bin Walid and Amru bin Aas (May Allah Almighty be pleased with them)
had embraced Islam during that year before this event. And Khalid bin Waliid
(May Allah Almighty be pleased with him) had joined that group of Muslim Army.
