Lesson
‘A-‘idduu –
(make ready), it is the word of command from ‘a’-daad. Origin of this word is ‘adad, from which some more words have been derived as ma’-duud, ‘ista’-daad etc. The word ‘adda
has many meanings, however; famous are “to count, to calculate, to reckon, to
compute, to number, to enumerate etc. ‘A’-daad
means “to make something ready after counting and collecting, and keep it in safe
custody, so that it may be used in adversity.
Ribaati –
{keeping (horses) tied}, this word has been derived from rabat, which means “to harness”. The place of tying up horses is
called ribaat also; as well as the
horses; kept fastened. The horses are tied for the purpose that those are
preserved and looked after, so that those may be used in war. (Here; it aims Armored
vehicles and sophisticated war equipment).
Turhibuuna –
{ye may dismay (your enemy)}, its origin is ‘arhaab,
which has been derived from the word rahbatun.
Rahbatun means “fear, dread, awe,
terror”. ‘Arhaab is its transitive,
that is to say; to dismay, to terrify, to discourage.
Laa tuzlamuun – {(ye) will not be wronged}, it has
been derived from the word zulm,
which means tyranny. This word has been used at several places. It aims “to
violate one’s rights”.
The Muslims have been instructed
clearly in this verse that they should never make themselves as much weak as whosoever
desires to press you, may do so easily. Moreover, you should learn the use of
weapons, bring up your horses and learn to drive them, so that you may
establish your dignity and influence over those people, who are disobedient of
God Almighty, infidels and your enemies and those who molest you, and so that; they
may not have courage to fight you.
Your enemies are not only those;
whom you see fighting against you openly, but there are many hidden enemies,
whom Allah Almighty knows well but you do not have any doubt about them in your
hearts, for example; either Hypocrites or those nations; which will oppose you
in future. It is necessary to remember them; and its only way is that you
should strengthen yourselves physically and learn the use of modern weapons. Whatever
you spend on it, will be repaid to you in full, and your rights will never be
violated.
