Surah Muhammad.........ayat 20 to ayat 23

friends, dato and tansri,

put your good self in nabi's shoes.

amongst your 'people', amonsgt the ansar, the madinan, were the double-faced al munafikuns.
in the periphery of madinah were the quiet belligerency of the jews.
in the northern westerly direction, not very far away in greater syria, were the romans.

at the time of  badr  and uhud though, they were still not interested in you, as their arch enemies, the fire worshiping zororastrians to your east, were keeping them  very busy.

...to your near south, the idol worshiping quraish under the leadership of abu suffian, abu jahal and abu lahab...... still full of fire and vengeance in their bellies

it is in the time and context that surah muhammad , along with surah at taubah were revealed.
these have become the ammunition and cannon balls for the present day kuffar and enemies of islam to deride us.


dr nik isahak






And those who believe say: If only a surah were revealed! But when a decisive surah is revealed and war is mentioned therein, thou seest those in whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with the look of men fainting unto death. Therefor woe unto them! (20) Obedience and a civil word. Then, when the matter is determined, if they are loyal to Allah it will be well for them. (21) Would ye then, if ye were given the command, work corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship? (22) Such are they whom Allah curseth so that He deafeneth them and maketh blind their eyes. (23)
