ALLAH made them lag behind.......... SubhanaAllah, today came across a verse in the Quran that sent shivers down my spine. Allah says in the Quran: “If they had intended to come out, they would certainly have made some preparation therefore; but Allah was averse to their being sent forth; so He made them lag behind, and they were told, “Sit ye among those who sit (inactive).” ( ﺳﻮﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺑﺔ , At- Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #46) SubhanaAllah! O Allah protect us! What is our purpose in life if we are left ‘inactive’ and unproductive?! The renowned scholar, Shaykh Muhammad Bin Uthaymeen when he was explaining this verse said: “O Allah protect us! This verse is very powerful, and we should measure ourselves to it. You should look into yourself, check if your self is constantly lazy from doing good deeds, if yes, then have fear that it might be Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) who made you lag behind. So force yourself towards good deeds, for today you may do the good deeds whilst your self hates it, but tomorrow you’ll do it and your self will be obedient to it.” The verse above was revealed in relation to the story of the hypocrites in Medina who were to join Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his companions in one of the battles but didn’t do so. Their downfall was due to 2 main reasons: 1. They didn’t have true sincere intentions [to join the battle], 2. They didn’t prepare for it.
