ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمۡ يَكُ مُغَيِّرٗا نِّعۡمَةً أَنۡعَمَهَا عَلَىٰ قَوۡمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمۡ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٞ (53)
That is because God did not change the favor which He bestowed upon a people, Until they change what is in themselves, and that Allah is Hearing, Knowing (53)
That} is the chastisement that God inflicted upon the disbelieving nations and removed from them what they were in of blessings and bliss, because of their sins and their change of what is in themselves, for God did not change a blessing which He bestowed upon a people, of the blessings of the religion and the world, rather He preserves them and increases them from them, if they increase their gratitude to Him, so he robs them of it and changes it for them as they changed what is in themselves. And God has wisdom in that and justice and benevolence towards His servants, as He did not punish them except by their injustice, And where he attracts the hearts of his gurdians to himself, with what the servants taste of punishment if they disobey his command, and whoever speaks it out loud, and knows what the pronouns imply, the secrets conceal, so He applies to His servants whatever predestination His knowledge necessitates and His will directs.
A look at the verse
Until they change within themselves
God - the Most High - cares about the secrets (the breasts) and the hearts they contain, and after that, the bodies, forms, social status and other formalities of life, He does not care about them at all, so not only the soldier, but every believer, male and female, must check his/her heart, and is it different from his love of obedience to other than sin, or not? Why because the heart is not called the heart in Arabic language except for the speed of its volatility from one state to another, and sins are revealed to God in your heart before committing them, so it is from His wisdom - glory be to Him - to know that we are between the jaws of (Satan on the one hand and self-inclination on the other hand) The initiation of repentance is a mercy from God - the Almighty - that God loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves, and as it is said (May obedience bequeathed glory and arrogance, and may disobedience bequeathed humiliation and brokenness) Humiliation and brokenness are among the quickest doors and most acceptable to God - The almighty - so take care of your heart whether you are a soldier in a battle, or a soldier in a battle of your own passion.
كَدَأۡبِ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ وَأَغۡرَقۡنَآ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ وَكُلّٞ كَانُواْ ظَٰلِمِينَ (54)
The deeds of the family of Pharaoh and those before them, they denied the signs of their Lord, so He destroyed them for their sins, And we drowned the family of Pharaoh, and all of them were unjust (54)
{The manner of Pharaoh's family} that is: Pharaoh and his people {and those before them denied the signs of their Lord} when it came to them {so We destroyed them for their sins} each according to his guilt, {And We drowned the people of Pharaoh, and all} of the tormented destroyers {were unjust} to themselves, seeking to destroy them, God did not wrong them, nor punished them without a crime they committed, so let the addressees beware To imitate them in wrongdoing, so that Allah will deal with them from His punishment as He has dealt with those transgressors.
A look at the verse
So-and-so has persevered with something: he adhered to it and got used to it without apathy
So the lesson is perpetuity in disobedience, as we understand from the word persevere linguistically, and see the end of the verse (all were unjust) that God - the Almighty - Injustice is punished more than it is punished for disbelief. Count the vocabulary of injustice in the Qur’an and compare it to the number of vocabulary of disbelief, and there is injustice to oneself by disobedience, and injustice to others, It is one of the collections for the Day of Resurrection that will be published for every person on the Day of Resurrection. It is a collection of three board that a person cannot escape from,
First board
The office of polytheism, so most of the believers in God are exempt from this office, and God Almighty does not forgive the bearer of anything, validating his saying, the Almighty: (Indeed, Allah does not forgive that partners should be associated with Him, and He forgives what is less than that to whom He wills.)
The second board
(Diwan of self-injustice or disobedience that is between you and God Almighty) And this notebook does not concern God - the Almighty - at all - as He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills or until your good deeds and your bad deeds are equal as those of the norms, so he is not afraid of this board, for he is under the mercy of God - the Almighty - and His mercy encompasses everything.
The third board
The Board of Grievances is between you and the people
And she is the one who is imprisoned on the path - may God protect you and heal us - and it is that you have an injustice with your brother from which he did not absolve you, and he blames you for it before God - The Almighty- God will never forgive you except for your brother's forgiveness for you.
إِنَّ شَرَّ ٱلدَّوَآبِّ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ (55)
The worst of animals is with God, those who disbelieve, they do not believe (55)
Interpretation of verses 55 to 57: Those who combine these three traits: disbelief, lack of faith, and betrayal, so that they do not remain firm on the covenant they made or the word they said: they are the worst animals in the sight of God, so they are worse than donkeys, dogs and others, because good is nonexistent from them, and evil is expected from them, So that their disease does not spread to others, and that is why he said: you find them in a state of warfare, where they do not have a covenant, {so disperse with them those who came after them} that is: we will punish them with others, and inflict on them the punishment that they become [with it] a lesson for those after them {that they} that is, those behind them {remember} their deed, lest what befell them befall them, this is one of the benefits of punishments and hudud imposed on disobedience, that it is a reason to disdain the one who does not commit the sin, but rather a rebuke to the one who does it not to do it again, and the limitation of this punishment in war indicates that the infidel - even if he is a lot of betrayal and is quick to betray - that if he is given a covenant, it is not permissible to betray him and punish him.
A look at the verse
God - the Almighty - so that the disbelievers are likened to irrational animals except in terms of food, drink and marriage, so if you are you, you only care about your salary, which you bring with luxurious food and drink - according to your capabilities - a comfortable marriage that has no problems, no desire for you in the afterlife, and no concern for you except enjoying this world, for you are with God like an animal, as the animals came to life and completed the task that was assigned to them, that you eat, drink, have sex, and the matter is over, then there is no reckoning or punishment. As for you and I, we are from the human species, we have a purpose, we have a main goal - if we are above the human rank, we have another rank (believers) It is the connection of this world with the Hereafter by doing acts of worship that lead to the Hereafter to make it like a lush garden before we go to it.
ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتَّ مِنۡهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَنقُضُونَ عَهۡدَهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٖ وَهُمۡ لَا يَتَّقُونَ (56)
Those of whom you made a covenant with, then they break their covenant every time, and they do not pious (56)
The same interpretation of the previous verse
فَإِمَّا تَثۡقَفَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَرۡبِ فَشَرِّدۡ بِهِم مَّنۡ خَلۡفَهُمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَذَّكَّرُونَ (57)
The same interpretation of the previous verse
A look at the verse
Istaqafah: stop after him to rob him
Sherd: There is no order in it and no direction for it
This is a military tactic
وَإِمَّا تَخَافَنَّ مِن قَوۡمٍ خِيَانَةٗ فَٱنۢبِذۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡخَآئِنِينَ (58)
And if you fear treachery from a people, then throw it to them, Equal: God does not like the traitors (58)
That is, if there was a covenant between you and a people to stop fighting, and you feared betrayal from them, because it appeared from the evidence of their conditions, evidence of their betrayal without a declaration of betrayal from them, {Then break their covenant with them}, that is: throw it at them, and tell them that there is no covenant between you and them, that is, until your knowledge and their knowledge are equal to that, and it is not permissible for you to betray them, or seek something that was forbidden by the obligation of the covenant, until you tell them that. {God does not love the traitors} rather, he hates them the most, so there must be a clear matter that will clear you of treachery, and the verse indicated that if the betrayal was discovered on their part, he did not need to renounce their covenant with them, because he was not afraid of them, rather he knew that, and because of the lack of benefit and his saying: {Equally} Here, their treachery was known to everyone. Its meaning also indicated that if treachery was not hidden from them, that there was no evidence of them, It is not permissible to abandon the covenant with them, but it must be fulfilled until its term is completed.
A look at the verse
There is an urgent question: Does this surah contain military tactics, or does it elevate values above military warfare?
The truth is that the Surah took care of the soldier who believes in him, with the utmost care for his values and morals, from the beginning to the end of the Surah. Here is a list of these values, (Not betrayal, even if it is on the part of the unbelievers) The believers in it are more important, and that is why He - glory be to Him - does not love the traitors, so it is lawful for you, O soldier who believes in God, that if you smell treachery from the other fighting party, then renounce their covenant and do what you see as good for you and your religion. Why, because God does not love the traitors? They are the ones who started betrayal, and what is the meaning of ostracism? Al-Intabadh: It is throwing some of the date grains and discarding them, i.e. leaving them in the water until the morning, then drinking their water and eating their fruit.
The witness
Leave their covenant that you used to make before their betrayal, as if you were throwing it away not from written contracts, but from lost values in the mind.
وَلَا يَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَبَقُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُمۡ لَا يُعۡجِزُونَ (59)
And let not those who disbelieve think that they have preceded, They are not incapacitated the lord(59)
That is, the disbelievers in their Lord and those who deny His signs do not think that they have preceded God and missed Him, for they do not fail Him, and God is on the lookout for them, and God Almighty has great wisdom in giving them time to wait and not hastening them with punishment, one of which includes testing His faithful servants and testing them, and providing them with obedience to Him, and his pleasures, that which leads them to the lofty ranks, and that they are endowed with morals and attributes that they would not have achieved without him.
A look at the verse
This is not the only verse that talks about the race of the infidels and to whom (to God Almighty) as if they are racing with God. Imagine, the other verse says - The Almighty - in Surat Al-Ankabut, (Umm, according to those who do evil deeds, that they should overtake us. It is bad that they judge (4) this verse came after the sedition that is presented to the believers in order for God to distinguish the bad from the good, and there are those who refuse to be subjected to sedition, as if - we are all under the predestination of God - The Almighty - oppressed - Here, the unbelievers do not think that they have preceded, that they do not fail God - the Almighty - with His power and might.
وَأَعِدُّواْ لَهُم مَّا ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُم مِّن قُوَّةٖ وَمِن رِّبَاطِ ٱلۡخَيۡلِ تُرۡهِبُونَ بِهِۦ عَدُوَّ ٱللَّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمۡ وَءَاخَرِينَ مِن دُونِهِمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُهُمۡۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَيۡءٖ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ يُوَفَّ إِلَيۡكُمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تُظۡلَمُونَ (60)
And prepare for them what you can of force and of horses, you intimidate the enemy of God and your enemy with it, others besides them whom you do not know, God knows them, and whatever you spend in the cause of God will be repaid to you, and you will not be wronged (60)
That is, {And prepare} for your enemies, the disbelievers, who seek to destroy you and nullify your religion. This includes the types of industries in which types of weapons and machinery are operated such as cannons, machine guns, rifles, that is why the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: (Indeed, strength is shooting) and from that: preparing with the vehicles that are needed when fighting, and it is terrorizing the enemies, and the ruling revolves with its cause. If there is something that exists that is more intimidating than it, such as land and air vehicles, prepared for fighting in which the spite is more severe, then it is commanded to prepare for it and strive to collect it, of those whom you know are your enemies. {And others besides them whom you do not know} of those who will fight you after this time in which God addresses them {God knows them} That is why the Almighty said, encouraging this: J's wages the Day of Resurrection will be multiplied many times over, so much so that spending for the sake of God will be multiplied to seven hundred times, to many times.
A look at the verse
And prepare for them what you can
An indication of the extent to which the unbelievers at the end of time or at every time will acquire high-level military technologies, and yet God Almighty says to the believing soldiers, “Prepare as much as you can, dear reader, did you know: The West now uses mules, donkeys, horses, even cows and others in wars, especially mules because they take an advantage between a horse in its horsemanship and a donkey in its intelligence, contrary to what is customary, and with their hooves they can move in the most difficult places
of strength
Power came without an alif or a definition, so it is not military power, but any power you can possess. He asked one of the companions in a battle with a number of soldiers, so the honorable companion sent him one of the soldiers with a loud voice (Al-Qaqaa bin Amr) Imagine asking for supplies and one man comes to him because his voice is loud. Your strength may be in a man who is expert in military tactics. Your strength is in your knowledge. Perhaps your strength is in upholding your values above everything in war, do not abuse women or children or anything else, because there are wars that do the first thing to the women of the country is to rape them, make children homeless and other bad morals for wars, but they destroy all green and dry land and they can kill animals in a zoo - and what is the fault of animals that you do not understand except that it is tyranny, always and forever, whether you are a soldier in battle or a soldier striving for your own desires: prepare for yourself any strength you can, which can be courses that burden your knowledge, It could be the language of your enemies, it could be your values... that is, strength. The important thing is that you arm yourself with strength and see (what you can)
Ribat: horses
As I told you above, they use horses in war in the West to this day, so do not underestimate a word in this wise book
The mules and front-line men
At home and in war, donkeys and mules were called upon to make up for the shortage of horses. Due to the huge number of horses transported to the front line, donkeys were called upon to keep Great Britain's home and agricultural industries working, on the front lines, the British turned to the mule to make do with the dead horses of war. By the end of World War I, the British Army owned around 250,000 Mules. The mules in the war effort
The use of mules instead of horses was not an easy matter for the British forces; A lack of understanding of mule temperament and their need for patience and trust caused problems for both mules and men in the early days, fortunately, it wasn't long before many individuals learned to work so well with the mule, they became known as 'mules'. The men's 'long-eared charges' quickly became respected for their physical and mental strength in most circumstances, respect for the mules was paramount when working with them, giving rise to a saying in wartime: "Men who start working with mules either start out with patience or confidence or end up in the field hospital." The mules carried food, weapons and other badly needed supplies to the front line. If frightened, the mule rarely slips or panics like a horse, they are likely to study the situation before responding. It has become common knowledge that if you want your cargo to be secure, the best place to get it is on the back of a mule.
The witness from the foregoing
God Almighty warns the soldiers of the importance of patience. Have you read the above text well? The mules teach the soldiers patience - Glory be to Him who gave you the task and gave you the mechanisms of defense in it -
۞وَإِن جَنَحُواْ لِلسَّلۡمِ فَٱجۡنَحۡ لَهَا وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ (61)
۞And if they incline to peace, then incline to it, and rely on God. He is the the Hearing, the Knowing (61)
{And if they deviate} that is: the belligerent infidels, that is: they tend {to peace} that is: peace and abandoning fighting, answer them to what they ask for, relying on your Lord, for there are many benefits in that, including: that seeking well-being is required all the time, If they are the beginners in that, then it is more appropriate for them to respond. among them: That in that is the unbridledness of your powers, and your preparation to fight them at another time, If he needs that. Among them: If you reform and secure one another, and each is able to know what the other is upon, then Islam will prevail and it will not be superior to it, everyone who has reason and insight, if he has fairness, must prefer him over other religions, because of his goodness in his commands and prohibitions, and his goodness in his treatment of people and justice in them, and that there is no oppression or injustice in his face, at that time, those who desire it and those who follow it will multiply. So this peace becomes a help for the Muslims against the unbelievers, there is only one thing to fear from Islam, which is that the infidels intend by that to deceive the Muslims and seize the opportunity in them.
A look at the verse
The battle is over now, but you as a believer did not win by martyrdom or by victory. This is a third thing: truce, and truce leaves an unpleasant psychological effect on the souls, so what is the solution? the divine saying appears in the imperative form (and if they delinquent, i.e. put their military wing aside, or reduce their strength, then do the same) Why do I give a humlation in our religion? no, rather it is a divine command and the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - says (Do not wish to meet the enemy, and ask God for well-being, If you meet him, be steadfast, and increase the remembrance of God, and if they are summoned and shouted, then you must remain silent.) and do not be afraid after the truce, and put your trust in the Mighty Pillar (Allah the Most High), and He is the Hearer of what is in your hearts, O believers in Him, and the hearts of those who disbelieve in Him, knowing that the two parties encompass each other, heart to back, so worship Him and put your trust in Him, for He is the best protector and the best supporter.
