Verse 40THE INCIDENT OF TABUK

AGAIN TO THE BATTLE - FIELD

      Tabuk is a place near the frontier of Arabia, close to what was the Byzantine territory, in the province of Syria, and at present it is the border of Saudi Arabia and some 610 Km. north- west of Medina. The incident was in the year A.H. 9 and one year after the conquest of Mecca.

      Here in the above verses, Muslims are firstly reproached for their hesitation saying:

      ``O, believers! What is wrong with you that, when you are told to go forth in the way of Allah, you stick heavily to the ground and do not move....''

      Then in the next verse they are threatened that:

      ``If you do not go forth, Allah will punish you a painful punishment, and replace you with some other people.''

      God's punishment is concealed in our wrongs and evil deeds, because giving way to enemy is giving way to death, captivity, and humiliating life, if the enemy let you live.

      As to the other people who are said may replace the Arab Muslims, some commentators understand them to be the Persians, who later converted and did excellent services to Islam, and loved the household and near kins of the prophet tenderly.
