A glance at Al-nisaa(verses:77--81) of the 26th February2010 dars:
Elaborating some more mischiefs and weaknesses of the hypocrites,Allah says that when qital(fighting) in the way of Allah was not ordered by Allah and Muslims were told to restrain and be patient and wait for the suitable time ,these hypocrites used to assert themselves and urge the prophet to allow them to fight.But in fact this apparent bravery and urge for jehad was a coverup for their cowardice and hypocricy.They did not act upon the commandments of salat(prayer) and zakat(poor due) which were enjoined upon them in those days. But now when these very people are ordered to fight in the way of Allah to end persecution(verse no.75),they have chickened out and have started dreading the enemy more than one should fear Allah.They say why didn,t Allah give us some more respite and postpone the commandment of qital(fighting) a little more! And because the cause of their fear of jehad is the love of this world ,Allah admonishes them that this is a fleeting life and the rewards of the hereafter are for those who shun hypocrisy. And in the hereafter no body will be wronged in the least.Because of their love of their worldly possesions ,they utterly fear death. They think that their strong castles will save them from death. Allah warns them that nothing can save them from death and it will overtake them even if they hide in strong and high forts!If they get victory or some worldly benefit, they attribute it to Allah but blame their calamities and defeats upon the prophet(pbuh).Allah tells them that nothing can happen without the permission of Allah but these people refuse to think and use their reason. They are bent upon rejecting the truth and they don,t try to understand anything.Then Allah explains that although everything happens with the permission of Allah but good things happen with the help and blessing of of Allah and the cause of occurence of bad things rests with these people itself...Though these people are bent upon rejecting you O prophet, you should not worry about their rejecting.You are the true messenger of Allah and Allah is enough as witness for this fact.All these accusations and objections are cooked up as an excuse for the disobedience of the prophet(pbuh) but they must know that obedience to the prophet is in fact the obedienc of Allah and if they refuse to obey you, you should not worry about them O messenger of Allah. You are not responsible for their obduracry and rejection. Allah will take them to task.Apparently these hypocrites submit to the prophet(pbuh) but secretly they hatch plans and conspiracies against the prophet. Allah assures the prophet not to worry about their conspiracies. He should trust Allah because Allah,s help and protection against these schemers is enough.
