إِن تَسْتَفْتِحُواْ فَقَدْ جَاءكُمُ الْفَتْحُ وَإِن تَنتَهُواْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَإِن تَعُودُواْ نَعُدْ وَلَن تُغْنِيَ عَنكُمْ فِئَتُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ كَثُرَتْ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

In tastaftihoo faqad jaakumu alfathu wain tantahoo fahuwa khayrun lakum wain taAAoodoo naAAud walan tughniya AAankum fiatukum shayan walaw kathurat waanna Allaha maAAa almumineena

The Aya says:
If you (plural) seek an opening/ clarity then the clarity came to you and if you desist then it is better for you and if you return We shall return while your group, even if it were numerous, will never help you a thing and that Allah is on the side of the faithful.

My personal note:
The Aya is addressing the group of the rejecters who were defeated in that battle which is the first battle of Islam. It is telling them the different options that they may decide to take and that the answer is that they are on the losing side eventually.

The term Tastaftihoo is derived from opening and therefore can carry within it the meaning of seeking an opening or relief or win but also can carry a clarity of vision or a sign to let them know whether they are on the right side or the wrong side. The answer here is of course they lost and the message is that Allah sent then within this battle an important sign that they are on the losing side.

The MAAa which means with can mean different things according to the context. Often it means being aware of what is going on in the group and at others being on their side and supporting them. Here it carries the meaning of being on their side.

Translation of the transliterated words:
In; if
Tastaftihoo: you seek opening/ seek gain/ seek relief/ seek clarity
Note: TASTAFIHOO is derived from the root F-T-Ha and it means to open for the verb and opening for the noun.

The Aya says:
That for you (plural) that Allah is humiliating/ degrading the schemeing of the rejecters.

فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ وَلَـكِنَّ اللّهَ قَتَلَهُمْ وَمَا رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَـكِنَّ اللّهَ رَمَى وَلِيُبْلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْهُ بَلاء حَسَناً إِنَّ اللّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
Falam taqtuloohum walakinna Allaha qatalahum wama ramayta ith ramayta walakinna Allaha rama waliyubliya almumineena minhu balaan hasanan inna Allaha sameeAAun AAaleemun

The Aya says:
So you (plural) did not kill them but instead Allah killed them. And you (singular) did not hit them as you threw but instead Allah hit them, and in order that He tests the faithful a beautiful test of His. Indeed, Allah is listening, knowing.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about certain concepts with Arabic words and the two Arabic words here are QATAL and RAMA. The two words carry with them the action of with intention and the product of the action as part of the meaning. In both cases it points to the fact that the Muslims did the action of QATAL as injure or attempt to kill but the actual killing and outcome of death of the enemy was from Allah and the same issue for RAMA where the throwing was from the prophet upon him be peace but the hitting of the target was from Allah.

This carries with it the main concept that we do the actions and aim and intent in them but the product is from Allah or the success of reaching our intent is only by Allah’s will.

The Aya also points to a beautiful test and that is pointing to the success in that battle and then it is a test because Allah will see what they do with that success and how they will move on from there.

Waman yuwallihim yawmaithin duburahu illa mutaharrifan liqitalin aw mutahayyizan ila fiatin faqad baa bighadabin mina Allahi wamawahu jahannamu wabisa almaseeru

The Aya says:
And whoever on that day gives them his back, unless edging for a fight or confining towards a group, then he positioned himself in anger from Allah and his final abode is Hell and worse is the final outcome.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the same theme in that withdrawal from the fight should be either a form of tactic of the battle or a withdrawal towards a group that provides safety and more strength in the fight. So, basically the haphazard withdrawal that is chaotic in nature is generally frowned upon.

The scholars argued whether this is true for any battle under a legitimate Muslim ruler vs only for that particular battle which was the first battle in Islam and therefore is much more important in the matter of perseverance and patience and so on. Both opinion may also be true with the harsher punishment for those who run from an essential battle on which the survival of the Muslim community as a whole depends and that is peculiar to that battle and may be a few others at the time of the prophet.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waman: and whoever
Yuwallihim: give them/ turns for them
Note: YUWALLI is derived from the root W-L-Y and it means direction or following direction with some guarantee. It comes close to guardianship.

Bighadabin: in anger/ by anger/ with anger

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo itha laqeetumu allatheena kafaroo zahfan fala tuwalloohumu aladbara

The Aya says:
O you who attained faith when you face the ones who rejected marching for battle then do not give them your backs.

My personal note:
The Aya says that the people of faith should not run away when and if their enemies are marching for battle and they happen to face them. It ordered them to stay steadfast and fight rather than run.

This is something that applied to the context of the situation of that battle and therefore cannot be taken as an absolute. There are examples of Muslims retreating in battle against the Ghassanids, although in an orderly rather than a haphazard fashion, at the time of the Prophet and they were not blamed for that retreat and there are even more times when they avoided the fighting altogether. However, the message is that if it is time for battle and both groups amassed and marched then do not run away at the time of the battle but stay steadfast.
There is a reminder that Muslims are not supposed to fight unless under the banner of a Muslim leader of a legitimate Muslim state, army against army rather than haphazard attacks against non combattants of any gender and any religion.

LAQEETUM is an action that is completed. It means: the action of meeting face to face with the object (Allatheena Kafaroo= those who rejected) happened in the conditional or is to happen in the conditional by the subject (second person plural).

Allatheena: those who
Kafaroo: rejected (Allah and His message)/ discarded

It means: the action of rejection or discarding of the object (not declared, but understood from the context to point to God and/or the message) happened by the subject (third person plural).

It is also used for armies marching because it carries with it the slow deliberate move of the armies and so on and that is what the context tells here. ZAHFAN means marching to battle

Thalikum fathooqoohu waanna lilkafireena AAathaba alnnari

The Aya says:
That is for you (plural). So taste it and to the torture of Hell belongs to the rejecters.

My personal note:
The Aya brings about that what happened in the battle to the rejecters was just a taste of the matter but in the end if they do not repent then they will end up in the Hell fire and that is not merely a taste but much more encompassing.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Fathooqoohu: so taste it

Note: FA means then or therefore or so. THOOQOO is derived from the root TH-W-Qaf and it means taste in all it’s aspects. In a conceptual fashion, it is the sensation THOOQOO is an order or a request addressed to a group. It means: taste. HU means him or it.

Thalika biannahum shaqqoo Allaha warasoolahu waman yushaqiqi Allaha warasoolahu fainna Allaha shadeedu alAAiqabi

The Aya says:
That is by them actively rupturing from Allah and His messenger and whoever actively ruptures from Allah and His messenger then Allah is severe in the punishment.

My personal note:
The root SH-Qaf-Qaf points to a fissure or a rupture or a split that occurs while the terms SHAQQA and YUSHAQIQU point to this fissure or split or rupture as occurring in an interactive manner meaning a rupture despite the aim of the other party to stay connected and basically pointing to actively and deliberately moving away and splitting away from Allah and His messenger.

In the context the group being talked about are the people of Mecca who actively rejected the message and actively resisted psychologically, financially, orally politically and in this area with armed conflict that was aimed at annihilating the society of the believers in Medina. The message from Allah is that Allah will punish such a group with severity and evidently in this life and the next.

The sleep gave them rest and safety and the rain gave them water to cleanse themselves and remove any doubts about their ritual cleanliness and also make them more sure footed on the sandy soil by making it more firm and more able to help their movement and their animals’ movement.

Salaam all,

Wama jaAAalahu Allahu illa bushra walitatmainna bihi quloobukum wama alnnasru illa min AAindi Allahi inna Allaha AAazeezun hakeemun

The Aya says:
And Allah did not make it but as glad tidings and in order that your hearts reach peace by it. And the decisive help is only from Allah. Indeed Allah is dominantly strong, wisely steering.

My personal note:
The word Hakeem is often translated as wise. This is correct, but the word is generally defined as the one who makes decisions and implementations guided by knowledge, justice and the big picture of things.

The Aya ends up with two names of Allah and those are two attributes that complement each other. The first is Azeez that carries with it the strength that cannot be minimized by any factor or degraded and that will dominate any other adversity standing in it’s way. The second is Hakeem that I defined earlier as the decision making guided by all the best tools and the action guided by the best tools. The two words are complementary because it reassures us that Allah’s dominance in strength is going to be used as a tool in His wise actions and decisions towards us as humans and for that we praise Him.
