Point 7 Then the speaker recites two Holy Verse 8:17 and 48:10, implying what? Allah -azwj Knows!

Reply to Point 7: فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ قَتَلَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ رَمَىٰ ۚ وَلِيُبْلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْهُ بَلَاءً حَسَنًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ {17} So you did not kill them but Allah Killed them, and you did not throw when you threw, but Allah Threw, and to Try the Momineen from it with a good trial.

So he -asws handed over to him -saww , and he -saww threw it upon the faces of Quraysh. So there did not remain anyone except that his eyes were filled from the sand’.
