the Beneficent, the Merciful

52.
And thou seest those in whose heart is a disease race toward them,
saying! We fear lest a change of fortune befall us. But it may happen that Allaah will vouchsafe (unto thee) the
victory, or a commandment from His Presence. Then they will repent them of
their secret thoughts.

Then will the believers say (unto the people of the Scripture): are
these they who swore by Allaah
their most binding oaths that they were surely with you? Their works have
failed, and they have become the losers.

Lesson
At that time, between the Muslims there were some such people, who had not
faith in the new raising group of Muslims. They were unable to understand that
how the believers of an entirely new thing will overcome such ancient and experienced
nations like the Infidels of Makkah,
the Jews and the Christians. These people were the Hypocrites of Madinah, apparently Muslims, and the
leader of whose was AbdUllaah bin Ubayee.
He expected always that the Muslims would have to suffer any trouble very soon.
It has
been told in the verse that such people are heart patients. Worthiness of worldly
splendor has excelled them. They do not know the Dignity of Allaah Almighty. They do not respect properly
the Messenger of Allaah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and His Companions (may Allaah be pleased with Them) according
to Their stateliness. They are far away from the Belief and say that it is not
sagacity to trust in the Muslims. It is the intelligence that the Jews should
be chosen as supporters for the time of calamity. So they rush by running into
them.
Allaah Almighty describes, “It may happen that Allaah will
vouchsafe (O Messenger! Unto You) the victory, or a commandment from His
Presence. Then they will repent them of their secret thoughts”. So it was
happened and the Muslims got victory upon the Jews and the Idolaters, and Makkah was taken over. In addition, the
Muslims spread over, not only the Arab but the world and the Jews were come
out.
It has been explained also that
these Hypocrites, whose Islam is only by their tongue, not accepted by their
heart, neither they believe in Allaah
Almighty, nor have any hope about the prosperous of the Muslims, their hearts
have a disease, the same disease, in which the Jews, the Christians and the
Infidels are entangled i.e. selfishness, thought about only one’s own gain and
trust in apparent worldly power. Therefore, they are unable to see any form of
their safety and escape except taking the Jews for friends and say them
clearly, “We see that the Muslims will finish very soon. What authority they
have that they succeed against such powerful, honorable and wealthy people as
the Infidels of Makkah, the Jews and
the Christians? If not today then tomorrow, they would have to suffer this
vigorous calamity. If we remained united with them, then it is open that we
would also be treated badly with them. So they chose this form of deeds that
apparently they joined the Muslims and assured them by swearing, ‘where shall
we go after leaving you? We are with you whole heartily’”. They (the
Hypocrites) assure the Muslims but their hearts believe that a misfortune is
waiting for the Muslims. Only those people will be saved from it, who would
have friendly relationship with the Jews.
Afterwards, their all thoughts
were proved as false. The Infidels and the Jews were defeated by the Muslims
and there was no any way for them to run away. Their all plans and thoughts
failed and they could get nothing except loss and repentance.
