Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an vol. 3 Section 13: Delinquency and Dread with some Muslims in the Battle of 'Uhud Dread and delinquency on the part some Muslims the causes of the misfortunes in the Battle of 'Uhud -after the promised victory' -the delinquents murmuring Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 149 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوَاْ إِن تُطِيعُواْ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنقَلِبُواْ خَاسِرِينَ 149.
"O' you who have Faith! If you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back to your (faithless) ancestors, so you will turn back losers." The Repeated Warnings! After the end of the Battle of 'Uhud the enemies of Islam, in the form of advice and sympathy, scattered the seed of discord among the Muslims, and made them distrustful unto Islam.
This verse warns the Muslims and awares them that they must avoid following the enemies, because, after paving the honourable spiritual development along the path of Islam, they may bring Muslims back to corruption and disbelief. "O' you who have Faith!
if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back to your (faithless) ancestors, so you will turn back losers." What damage is worse than this that a believer changes Islam with infidelity, prosperity with wickedness, and reality with falsehood. Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 150 بَلِ اللّهُ مَوْلاَكُمْ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ النَّاصِرِينَ 150. "Nay! Allah is your Guardian and He is the best of the helpers." In this verse, the Qur'an emphasizes that Allah is the helper Who will never be defeated.
No power can match His Power. But other helpers may be involved with failure and be destroyed. "Nay! Allah is your Guardian and He is the best of the helpers." Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 151 سَنُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ الرُّعْبَ بِمَا أَشْرَكُواْ بِاللّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَمَأْوَاهُمُ النَّارُ وَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى الظَّالِمِينَ 151.
"We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, for that they have associated with Allah for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode in the Fire; and how bad is the abode of the unjust!" In this verse, it points to the marvellous security of Muslims after the Battle of 'Uhud. It says: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve..." That is, We do the same as you saw the example of it at the end of the Battle of 'Uhud.
