Holy Prophet of Islam - Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa — Page 130
The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa. Sa sa and the Holy Prophet with only a very few Muslims had remained behind in Mecca and their cup of hardships and privations had become full to the brim. But the former view seems to be more akin to fact and reality. . The verse lays down principles according to which the Muslims can wage a defensive war, and clearly sets forth the reasons which led a handful of Muslims, without arms and other material means, to fight in self-defense after they had suffered at Mecca ceaseless persecution for years and had been pursued with relentless hatred to Medina and were harassed and harried there too. The first and foremost reason given is that "they had been wronged. " The Muslims had suffered untold persecution and war was actually forced upon them. The verse incidentally shows that the Muslims were also very weak in numbers, means and material when the permission to fight in self-defense was granted to them as the comforting and encouraging words, "And Allāh indeed has power to help them," indicate. These words also implied a prophecy that though the. Muslims were weak and their enemy was proud and powerful, yet as they were fighting in the cause of truth God would help them and they would be victorious. الَّذِيْنَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ حَق إِلَّا أَنْ يَقُولُوا رَبُّنَا اللهُ، وَلَوْ لَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَ صَلَوَاتُ وَ مَسْجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللهِ كَثِيرًا وَلَيَنْصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يُنْصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ 0 b の nilladhīna ukhrijū min diyarihim bighairi haqqin illa añyyaqülū rabbunallah walau la dafulla hinnasa ba'dahum bi ba'dilla huddimat ṣawami'un wa biya'uñwwa Ṣalawatuñwwa masājidu yudhkarufihasmullahi kathira wa layanṣurannallahu mañyyanṣuruh 130
