بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَتُغْلَبُونَ وَتُحْشَرُونَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ (12)
The Name Of The Sura
In honor of Amran, who is the father of Mary the Virgin, or the mother of Jesus, and the story of the divine ability to bear the birth of Mary the virgin, her son Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him).
What The Sura Talks About?
About the principle of steadfastness on the correct approach, and the Sura have listed many ways to help the Muslim to maintain his religion, also listed many events, such as the event Battle of Ohud, in which the archers disobeyed the order of the Prophet Muhammad to not abandon their position on the mountain. Which made Khalid Bin Al Waleed to take the opportunity and was a master of the Arabs in the war and the battles and was a polytheist then did not enter into Islam yet. He made a loop around the Muslims army from behind, as a result, the victory was for the polytheists.
The most important factors of stability in the sura:
- To hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided
- Leave sins: The ayat have indicated that those Muslims who escaped in the battle of Ohud, they were effected by Shatan as a result of some of their past sins, and what hit them is from themselves and from their sins.
- The warning of obstacles to stability is summarized in love of lusts of money arched silver and gold, and sedition of women and boys, and Anam (Live Stock).
Reasons for the descent of some verses from Surat Al – Imran
- The reason for the revelation of the verse [12] that when the Messenger of Allah – peace be upon him – defeated the people of Quraish and prevailed, he came to Medina and then gathered the Jews: ” O people of the Jews, beware of Allah, such as what came down on the Day of Badr, and be Muslims before he brought you down as wha came down to them, you know that I am a prophet from Allah, you find this in your book”. O Mohammed, don’t you know that you have fought people who don’t know how to fight, If you have fought with us, you would have known that we are the people”. Then Allah (swt) revealed the following Aya:
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَتُغْلَبُونَ وَتُحْشَرُونَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ (12)
(12) Say to those who disbelieve, “You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place.”
- The reason for the descent of the verse [83], the Jews and Christians disputed at the Messenger of Allah – peace be upon him – as they differed from the religion of Abraham – peace be upon him, every group claimed to be on the true religion. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Both groups are innocent of the religion of Abraham. The became angry an said: We by Allah we are not satisfied with your judgment and we are not taking in your religion. Then Allah (swt) revealed the following Aya:
أَفَغَيْرَ دِينِ اللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ (83)
(83) So is it other than the religion of Allah they desire, while to Him have submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned?
- Muslims and Jews once boasted. The Jews said: Jerusalem is better and greater than the Kaaba, because it is abandoned by the Prophets and is located in the Holy Land. The Muslims said: The Kaaba is better. Allaah has revealed this Aya:
إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيْتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِي بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكًا وَهُدًى لِّلْعَالَمِينَ (96)
(96) Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Makkah – blessed and a guidance for the worlds.
