Shafaqna English- Why Quran? Presented: The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) | By Sheikh Azhar Nasser
After the Battle of Uhud:
- Quraysh mutilate the bodies of Muslims
- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sends a reconnissance mission to see if the Quraysh will invade Madinah or return to Makkah
- Various Verses/Ayahs of the Quran are revealed to console the Muslims and instruct them on how to recover from the losses
- The Makkans decide to come back to finish off the Muslims, but their army is scared away
- Nomadic tribes, emboldened by the Muslim’s defeat at Uhud, try to raid the Muslims
Key lessons from the Battle of Uhud:
- Do not be naive and assume anyone who claims to be a Muslim is a believer at heart. Uhud exposed the Munafiqeen
- God’s Help is guaranteed when Muslims are united and obey the Prophet (PBUH)
- Being Muslim does not guarantee victory. Believers must struggle and endure hardships to achieve success
- Beware of succumbing to material temptations. Love of the world can blind even those fighting alongside the prophet (PBUH)
