Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 123
123. "And certainly Allah did assist you at Badr when you were contemptibly scanty; so be in awe of Allah, in order that you might be thankful."
These verses are the revelations which were sent down in a critical state for the strengthening on the defeated spirits of Muslims. At first, the notable triumph of Muslims in the Battle of Badr is pointed out, so that, by its remembrance, they become assured about their future. Therefore, it says:
The numbers of your members were 313 with a little preparation, while the number of the disbelievers was more than one thousand, with many equipments. Now that the situation is like this, be in awe of Allah, and avoid repeating disobedience from the command of your leader, viz, the Prophet of Islam (S), in order to be thankful for His numerous blessings.
Explanations
1. Do not forget the unseen helps, especially in the battlefield.
2. The gratitude of the unseen helps is that you do not misuse them, be not proud of them, and be careful of your duty to Allah.
