And there is no victory except from Allah

If Allah helps you none will prevail over you

lt has often been that a small group has, by Allah's grace,

defeated a large one

And there is no victory except from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-

Wise.

}}1

If Allah helps you none will prevail over you; if He forsakes you then

who can help you? It is in Allah that the believers should put their trust.}}49

lt has often been that a small group has, by Allah's grace, defeated a

large one: for Allah is with those who show fortitude.

}}3 You have already come across an instructive sign in the two armies

that encountered each other in battle (at Badr): one army fighting in

the way of Allah, and the other that of unbelievers. They saw with

their own eyes that one party was twice the number of the other.

But (the result of the battle has proved that) Allah succours with His

victory whomsoever He wills. In this there is surely a lesson for all

who have eyes to see. }7}646 Verily We bestowed Our favours on Moses and Aaron and We saved

both of them and their people from the great calamity. We helped

them, and they gained the upper hand (against their enemies).

Allah's Promise Given to the Messengers

You will surely gain the upper hand if you are true men of faith

Allah has written: Surely I willprevail; I and My Messengers.

A Promise Given to the Believers

}7}7673

We have already given Our promise to Our Messengers that they shall

certainly be succoured,and that Our soldiers will certainly be victorious.8}6{ Allah has written: Surely I will prevail; I and My Messengers. Verily

Allah is Most Strong, Most Mighty.

Angels are descended to help the steadfast believers

Do not, then, either lose heart or grieve: for you will surely gain the

upper hand if you are true men of faith. If a wound has befallen you

a similar wound has already befallen the people who are opposed to

you. We make such movements to men in turn so that Allah might

mark out those who are the true men of faith and select martyrs

from among you (those who do really bear witness to the Truth): for

Allah does not love the wrong-doers. }}

All those who take Allah and His Messenger and those who believe as

their allies, should remember that the party of Allah will be victorious.}{

So if there are of you a hundred steadfast persons, they will

overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they will

overcome two thousand with the Leave of Allah. Allah is with those

who have patience.}}25

And none knows the armies of your Lord but He.

If you are steadfast and you have piety, even though the enemy

should suddenly fall upon you, your Lord will help you with five

thousand marked angels. 6}16{ Those who say Allah is our Lord and then remain steadfast, upon

them descend angels (and say): Do not fear nor grieve, and receive

good tidings of Paradise which you were promised. We are your

companions in this world and in the Hereafter. There you shall have

all that you desire and all what you will ask for.

To Allah belong the legions of the heavens and the earth; Allah is All-

Knowing, Most Wise. }{8 To Allah belong the forces of the heavens and the earth. Allah is

Most Mighty, Most Wise.

Reasons of losing: Comments on the Battle of Uhud

Helping the believers by joining their hearts

}4}6

And none knows the armies of your Lord but He.

}}24

He it is Who strengthened you with His succour and the believers

and joined their hearts. Had you given away all the riches of the

earth you could not have joined their hearts, but it is Allah Who

joined their hearts. Indeed He is All-Mighty All-Wise. O Prophet!

Allah is sufficient for you and the believers who follow you.

Allah surely fulfilled His promise (of succour) when you were

slaying them by His leave until the moment when you flagged

and quarrelled among yourselves about the matter, and acted

against the order of (the Prophet) when He showed you what

you had intensely desired - for some among you sought this

world and some of you sought the Afterlife. Thereupon, in order

to put you to a test He turned you away from your foes. Still He

pardoned you after that for Allah is Bounteous to those who

believe. Recall when you were fleeing without casting even a

side glance at anyone, and the Messenger was calling out to you

from the rear. Then Allah requited you by inflicting grief after

grief upon you so as to instruct you neither to grieve for the

losses you might suffer nor for the afflictions that might befall

you. Allah knows all that you do. }55{ Surely those of them who turned their backs on the day when the

two armies met (at Uhud) did so because Satan made them slip

because of some of their lapses. But Allah has pardoned them; He is

All-Forgiving, All-Forbearing.

Some instructions for the believers

}}57

And how come when a calamity befell you, you began to ask: 'How has

this come about?' even though the enemy has suffered at your hands (in

the Battle of Badr) double what you have suffered! Say: This calamity has

been brought about by yourselves. Surely Allah is Ail-Powerful. What

befell you on the day when the two armies met was by the leave of

Allah, and in order that He might mark out those who believe and those

who are hypocrites. And when these hypocrites were asked: 'Come and

fight in the way of Allah', or (at least) 'defend yourselves', they

answered: 'If we but knew that there would be fighting, we would

certainly have followed. They were nearer then to infidelity than to faith.

They utter from their mouths what is not in their hearts. Allah knows

well what they conceal.

Trust in Allah Alone and not in great numbers or material

Believers! When you encounter (an enemy) force in battle, stand

firm and remember Allah much that you may triumph. And obey

Allah and His Messenger, and do not quarrel with one another lest

you should lose courage and your power depart. Be steadfast, surely

Allah is with those who remain steadfast. And be not like those who

came forth from their homes exulting, with a desire to be seen of

men, and hindering others from the way of Allah. Allah encompassesall that they do. }}14

Do not be faint of heart in pursuing these people: if you happen tosuffer harm they too are suffering just as you are, while you may

hope from Allah what they cannot hope for. Allah is All-Knowing, All-

Wise.

Trust in Allah but the compulsory readiness of the believers

Allah has helped you on many occasions before this; (recently you

witnessed the glory of His help on the day of the Battle of Hunain;

you were proud of your great numbers which had deluded you but it

availed you nothing and the earth, with all its vastness, became too

narrow for you, and turning your backs, you fled. Then Allah sent

down His sakinat (peace and tranquility) upon His Messenger and

the Believers and sent to your aid forces which you could not seeand chastised those who denied the Truth: for this is the due

recompense of those who deny the Truth. }-}6 Say to them, "Nothing (good or bad) can befall us except that whichAllah has destined for us: Allah is our Guardian and the Believers

should put their trust in Him alone."

}}1

Make ready for an encounter against them all the forces and well-

readied horses you can muster that you may overawe the enemies

So, don't be faint-hearted and do not cry for peace (from the

enemies of Islam)

But if they (enemies) incline to peace, incline you as well to it

of Allah and your own enemies and others besides them of whom

you are unaware but of whom Allah is aware. Whatever you may

spend in the cause of Allah shall be fully repaid to you, and you shall

not be wronged.

7}35{

O Believers! obey Allah and obey the Messenger and do not cause

your works to be nullified. Verily Allah will not forgive those who

disbelieved and barred others from Allah's Way and clung to theirunbelief until their death. So, be not faint-hearted and do not cry for

peace (from the enemies of Islam). You shall prevail. Allah is with

you and will not bring your works to nought.

}}62 If they (enemies) incline to peace, incline you as well to it, and trust

in Allah. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.And should they seekto deceive you, Allah is sufficient for you.
