delinquency and dread with some
muslims in the battle of
'uhud.

dread and delinquency on the part some muslims the causes of the misfortunes
in the battle of 'uhud ö after the promised victory ö the
delinquents murmuring.

149. " o' you who have faith! if you obey those who disbelieve,
they will turn you back to your (faithless) ancestors,
so you will turn back losers."

commentary:
the repeated warnings !

after the end of the battle of 'uh¤ud, the enemies of islam, in the
form of advice and sympathy, scattered the seed of discord among the
muslims, and made them distrustful unto islam. this verse warns the
muslims and awares them that they must avoid following the enemies,
because, after paving the honourable spiritual development along the path
of islam, they may bring muslims back to corruption and disbelief.

" o' you who have faith! if you obey those who disbelieve,
they will turn you back to your (faithless) ancestors,
so you will turn back losers."

what a damage is worse than this that a believer changes islam with
infidelity, prosperity with wickedness, and reality with falsehood.
