We must refer that the Islamic belief is not like the beliefs of philosophers- as an intellectual theory- situated in the corners of the mind- rather it is a power which moves through the heart and is reflected positively on the spirit and senses, so he (who adopts it) rushes into the fields of strife and work, so it had been an active and motive power which changed the direction of history, altered the features of civilization, brought about excellent social and intellectual conversions in man’s life and, achieved witnessed military victories.

Hence, we found that the oppressed armless minority in Mecca could- thereby depending on their belief- withstand for thirteen years in confronting a tyranny like flood. It is this belief which could draft for the Prophet (s.w.a.) an army of ten thousand men while he left Mecca hidingly and chased by its infidels.

Those who had made war against him for along time couldn’t withstand against the creeping power of faith, so they surrendered to him, came to him submissively or they paid him the tribute humbly.

Moslems have owned the most powerful implements of victory, it is the belief which makes miracles, which made Hamza- the master of martyrs- leads the first cavalry squadron of thirty Moslems to confront three hundred cavalry fighters from Qureish on the shore of the Red Sea, the Moslem squadron have not come out for a mere parade rather they have been serious in confrontation and engagement with an enemy whose power is ten times its force.

It hadn’t happened through the history of the battles of Islam in which Islam achieved magnificent and successive victories that Moslems’ material power was equal to that power of the enemy.

Rather Moslems’ power had been- as for the number and equipments- no more than a fifth of the enemy’s victory hadn’t been achieved except through their dependence on the great moral reinforcement which the Islamic belief grants for the Moslem fighter without ignoring the role of the continual divine support and some other material factors and conditions. Thus we find that belief is the basic power in all of the battles of Islam and the central factor in achieving victory in all fields.
