48:2 - That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfil His favor to thee;<br />

and guide thee on the Straight Way; 4867<br />

4867 See n. 4428 to xi. 55, and Cf. xlvii, 19. Any mistakes of the past were now rectified, and any future ones prevented by<br />

the free scope now offered, by the act of the Quraish Pagans themselves, to the recognition and free promulgation of<br />

Islam. (48.2)<br />

48:3 - And that Allah may help thee with powerful help. 4868<br />

4868 Three objects or results of the Treaty are mentioned: (1) forgiveness, which is equivalent to Mercy, (2) fulfilment of the<br />

dignity of Prophethood with the dignity of an effective and recognised position in Arabia; (3) opening up a straight way<br />

leading to Islam, by access to Makkah from next year, Makkah being the symbolic centre of Islam. These three are<br />

summed up in the comprehensive phrase "powerful (or effective) help". (48.3)<br />

48:18 - Allah's Good Pleasure was on the believers when they swore Fealty to thee under the<br />

Tree: He knew what was in their hearts and He sent down tranquillity to them and He<br />

rewarded them with a speedy Victory; 48914892489348944895<br />

4895 The Treaty of Hudaibiya itself was a "speedy Victory": it followed immediately after the Bai'at. (48.18)<br />

48:27 - Truly did Allah fulfil the vision for His Apostle: Ye shall enter the Sacred Mosque if Allah<br />

wills with minds secure heads shaved hair cut short and without fear. For He knew what ye<br />

knew not and He granted besides this a speedy victory. 49104911<br />

4910 The Prophet had had a dream that he had entered the Sacred Mosque at Makkah, just before he decided on the<br />

journey which resulted in the Treaty of Hudaibiya. By it he and his people could enter next year without the least<br />

molestation and in the full customary garb, with head shaved or hair cut short, and all the customary minor rites of<br />

pilgrimage. (48.27)<br />

61:13 - And another (favor will He bestow) which ye do love help from Allah and a speedy victory:<br />

so give the Glad Tidings to the Believers. 5445<br />

5445 The supreme Achievement has already been mentioned viz.; the Gardens of Eternity with Allah. But lest that seem too<br />

remote or abstract for the understanding of men not strong in faith, another good news is mentioned which the men<br />

who first heard this Message could at once understand and appreciate-"which ye do love": viz.: Help and Victory. For<br />

all striving in a righteous Cause we get Allah's help: and however much the odds against us may be, we are sure of<br />

victory with Allah's help. But all life is a striving or struggle,-the spiritual life even more than any other; and the final<br />

victory there is the same as the Garden of Eternity. (61.13)<br />

110:1 - When comes the Help of Allah and Victory<br />

110:2 - And thou dost see the People enter Allah's Religion in crowds 6292<br />

6292 The Prophet migrated from Makkah to Madinah, a persecuted man. In Madinah all the forces of truth and<br />

righteousness rallied round him, and the efforts by the Makkans and their confederates to destroy him and his<br />

community recoiled on their own heads. Gradually all the outlying parts of Arabia ranged themselves round his<br />

standard, and the bloodless conquest of Makkah was the crown and prize of his patience and constant endeavour.<br />

After that, whole tribes and tracts of country gave their adhesion to him collectively, and before his ministry was<br />

finished, the soil was prepared for the conquest of the wide world for Islam. What was the lesson to be learnt from this<br />

little epitome of the world's history? Not man's self-glory, but humility; and power but service; not an appeal to man's<br />

selfishness or self-sufficiency, but a realisation of Allah's Grace and Mercy, and the abundant outpouring of Allah's<br />

Praises in word and conduct. (110.2)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 4.146<br />

Abu Said Al Khudri<br />

Narrated by<br />

The Prophet said, "A time will come when groups of people will go for Jihad and it will be asked, 'Is there anyone amongst<br />

you who has enjoyed the company of the Prophet?' The answer will be, 'Yes.' Then they will be given victory (by Allah)<br />

(because of him). Then a time will come when it will be asked, 'Is there anyone amongst you who has enjoyed the company<br />

of the companions of the Prophet?' It will be said, 'Yes,' and they will be given victory (by Allah). Then a time will come when<br />

it will be said,. 'Is there anyone amongst you who has enjoyed the company of the companions of the companions of the<br />

Prophet?' It will be said, 'Yes,' and they will be given victory (by Allah)."<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 1505<br />

Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Abbas<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to supplicate Allah: "My Lord, help me and do not give help against<br />

me; grant me victory, and do not grant victory over me; plan on my behalf and do not plan against me;<br />

guide me, and made my right guidance easy for me; grant me victory over those who act wrongfully<br />

towards me; O Allah, make me grateful to Thee, mindful of Thee, full of fear towards Thee, devoted to Thy<br />
