List Of Sura's

Al-Bara'at / At-Taubah (Repentance)

Surah 9 · Verse 25


(It was) Allah (Who) had helped you in many battle fields. And on the day of (the battle of) Hunian {1} your number which made you feel exalted, did not help you in any way and the earth, inspite of its being spacious, became constrained on you, then you turned back retreating.


لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي مَوَاطِنَ كَثِيرَةٍ ۙ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ ۙ إِذْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنْكُمْ شَيْئًا وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُمْ مُدْبِرِينَ
This battle was fought in 8H at Hunain 25 Km East of Makkah. Muslims were more than ten thousand compared to the enemy, the tribes of Hawazin and Thaqeef who were four thousand. The large number of Muslims led them to vanity with the result that they first took to flight, but later they were helped by Allah (SWT), as in early battles, and the enemy finally surrendered. Muslims were more in number yet they faced initial defeat which again establishes that victory does not depend on numbers but it depends on the help of Allah (SWT).
Battle of Hunain (H. 8):

This battle was fought at a place about 3 miles from Makkah. In this battle, Muslims were more than ten thousand and outnumbered the enemy, the tribes of Hawazin and Saqeef being 4,000. The large number of Muslims led them to vanity with the result that they at first look to flight, but later the enemy surrendered. Contrary to Badr, in this battle Muslims were more yet they initially faced defeat, this again establishes that victory does not depend on numbers but it depends on Allah’s help.
