Lesson
There is mention about another favor of Allah Almighty upon
the Muslims in this verse. That is to say; they were martyred, happiness of
martyrdom was in whose fortune. The persons, who had to go, they had gone and
those people out of them, who were sincere Muslims and remained in the
battlefield, state of slumber overcame them. The people began to slumber in the
standing position. The sword fell down from the hand of Tal-ha (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) many times. It was
hidden and apparent affect of peace and calmness, which was approaching upon
the hearts of the Muslims during such incident causing great riot with the
Bounty of Allah Almighty. After this slumbering state, entire fear and
confusion of the enemies had gone from their hearts. This situation of slumber
happened at that very time, when the Conquerors of Islam were much tired due to
their wounds. Rumors about the slaughter of Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) had lost their sense and understanding.
yagshaa - (overcame). The word gishaawah
has come out from it, which means a screen, a curtain, a veil. Here it aims
that Allah Almighty took them in the fold of slumber. After prevailing the
slumber over Muslims, Allah Almighty removed their entire weariness and
tiredness, and informed them that the time of fear, perplexity and
disappointment has been finished. Now you are entirely in peace. Do your duty
with complete satisfaction.
The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) assembled around
the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
and established the front for war. They observed very soon that the enemy was
running away leaving behind the battlefield. Abdullah ibn Mas-‘uud (may Allah be pleased with him) says, “To
overshadow of the slumber in the very nick of time of the battle was a sign of
victory and success from the favors of Allah Almighty”.
It was the Bounty of Allah Almighty that He provided security
and peace after coming of the narrowness, gave victory while certain defeat was
in front, removed the possibility of subjection and refreshed the Muslims by
removing their exhaustion, so that they may bruise the enemies of the Just
after getting new spirit. In addition, He inspired with awe of Islam and fear
of the Right in the hearts of the Idolaters. It was the reason that the enemies
could face the situation while they had overcome.
If the Believers remain firm in their faith and confidence,
show the steadfastness and patience, then help and victory from Allah Almighty
remain with them always and the enemies of Truth return back on their heels falling
short. Actual power and strength in the battlefield of crusade (Jihaad) is satisfaction of the heart and
the height of aim and spirit.
