Anfal 19
19- IF YOU SEEK TO START THE FIGHT, IT HAS COME TO YOU THEN, BUT IF YOU REFRAIN, IT IS BETTER FOR YOU, BUT IF YOU RETURN, SO WILL WE, AND YOUR PEOPLE WILL NOT HELP YOU EVEN IF THEY ARE PLENTY, FOR ALLAH IS WITH THE BELIEVERS.
The disbelievers wished to have the opportunity to fight the Muslims, and Allah the Highest tells them that they have their chance.
It is interesting to know that the disbelievers were praying by the Kabba. Abu Jahl hung on to the curtains of the Kabba pleading: “Allah, I beg you to give victory to the better army of the two, the more honourable, and the better tribe of the two”. Certainly Allah the Highest answered his plead.
When the disbelievers arrived at Badr, Abu Jahl was heard pleading: “Allah, he severed blood relations, and brought us what we do not know, Allah, I beg you to destroy him (meaning Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him,)” today.
Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, pleaded before the battle saying: “Allah, should this group of men perish; you will not be worshiped on Earth”.
The disbelievers, then, and now consider themselves to be the better group of people, particularly if they are better off financially, or have more power and strength, which they think reflects morality and righteousness. Richer and more powerful nations usually consider themselves to be better than the poorer or weaker nations. The disbelievers were pleading for support, as being the better group, while Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, pleaded to Allah the Highest for the Muslims, as they were the group which worships Allah the Highest alone. However Allah’s scales are different. Allah the Highest said: “THE MOST HONOURABLE OF YOU BEFORE ALLAH IS THE MOST PIOUS OF YOU”. (S:49 A:13)
The chance came for the disbelievers to prove that they were the better of the two groups and that the right was on their side. Yet Allah the Highest tells them that his support is for those who worship Him alone as the one and only God. Allah the Highest supported the believers in their fight against the disbelievers and He will support them again, as long as they remain on the right path. Allah the Highest said: “SHOULD ALLAH SUPPORTS YOU, NO ONE CAN DEFEAT YOU; BUT IF HE ABANDONS YOU, NO ONE CAN SUPPORT YOU AFTER HIM, AND IN ALLAH THE BELIEVERS SHOULD PUT THEIR TRUST”. (S:3 A:160)
Allah’s support is certainly the ultimate support for us, and having Allah’s support we will not need any other.
