Lesson
The talk of two commanders from
the Children of Israel, which had begun in the previous lesson, has been
completed in this verse. They said, “If you enter the city and are
collected in crowds, then certainly you will be victorious. You claim that you
are believers. You should put your trust only in Allaah Almighty because the believers neither fear anyone but Allaah Almighty and nor trust in anyone
except God Almighty”. The names of those two commanders were “Yuusha’ son of Noon” and “Kaalib son of Yuuhannaa”.
Those two persons were not
influenced by viewing the demon type people of Syria. They had trust in the
support of Allaah Almighty. Their hearts
were strong because they knew, “The person, who obeys Allaah Almighty and dwells exactly in accordance with His orders, Allaah Almighty shall help him/her. He
has commanded us to enter the city of Imaalqah
(Syria) and strike those giant people out from the city. Now it is our duty
that we should make violent attack upon them quiet fearlessly according to the direct
order of Allaah Almighty. He shall
give us a victory upon them. We should contemplate only towards Allaah Almighty. He is the most Powerful
and Strong. None has any power against Him. Most strong persons have no
authority before Him and the weak overcome upon the powerful and giant people
with His help.
But the nation of Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) did not listen to those commanders and replied, “O Moses! We will never enter that land while those giant people are in it, so go you and your Lord and
fight! We will sit here”. It is easy to conjecture from their answer that how
much the Children of Israel had become rude, obstinate and ill-behaved.
