Lesson
Bataran –
(boastfully), batara means “to strut,
to give one’s self airs, to behave with boastfulness, bragging by someone after
getting any good thing and misusing it”.
Ri-‘aaa-‘a –
(show, to be seen of people, ostentation), it means “to work in such a way that
the people consider it good, whereas really it is nothing”, that is to say; the
individual, who commit so, either does not consider it good himself; or that is
not valuable near him.
Jaarun –
(protector), this word is used at many places in Arabic language, for example; a
neighbor, that individual; who provides shelter, a friend, a supporter and a protector.
Here it has been used for the last meaning.
It has been caused to understand in
this verse that there is another behavior in the war which was adopted by the
idolaters of Makkah. After describing
about this behavior, God Almighty commanded that you should not do so.
It is commanded that the infidels of
Makkah came forth to fight against
you boastfully, with pomp and show, beating kettledrums and using musical
instruments; being proud and haughty. The Devil was encouraging them and
saying: Fear not anyone. I am your protector. None of the human beings can
overcome you today.
The Army of the disbelievers was
brought out by Abu Jahal. In the way,
any individual said to him: That caravan has gone out of the range of Muslims,
to which; you are going to save. You must go back to your home now. Abu Jahal said: We shall celebrate a
festival after reaching the place of Badr
for three days. He did not know that his berating deeds have been pushing him
towards the mouth of his death and destruction place of his Army.
