Surah Muhammad

그것은 군대가 메디나를 공격하기 위해 수집되고 있었다 바드르의 전투를 말한다

• Susrah Muhammad is the 47th sura of the Quran with 38 ayat.

• The title is derived from the direct mentioning of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 47:2. It also has the name of Al-Qital, which translates to fighting due to the context of the sura.

• This sura pertains to a specific conflict that arose from people prohibiting the acceptance and spread of Islam. It refers to the battle of Badr, where an army was being gathered to attack Medina.

• The battle of Badr took place during Ramadan, in year 2 of the Islamic calendar.

• This addresses a particular disease from the Hypocrites and some People of the Book – who hated the idea that one can only be saved in the next life if they believe in Prophet Muhammad.

• So this ayah is speaking about those people who became Muslim or are about to become Muslim in he near future.

• wa huwwa haqqu min Rabbihim – and is is the truth from their Master.

Truth against Falsehood is a common theme and there is no compromise by Allah in the Qur’an.

• Truth vs Falsehood:

• Allah depicts an extremely visual image of truth against falsehood in the Qur’an;

• بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌ ۚ وَلَكُمُ الْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ

We hurl the truth against falsehood (like a spear/arrow/rock), and the truth bashes its skull in. [Surah Anbiya 21:18]

• So falsehood is trying to run away from the truth, while the truth is attacking because of its greater strength. Then the skull of falsehood is smashed (and that is the strongest bone in the body).

• Similarly; the hypocrites and people of the Book would believe in part of the Revelation and reject other parts – yet truth and falsehood can never unite as one. So their falsehood was exposed.
