When the Angels joined Muslim Army

when the Angels joined Muslim Army.

"Remember ye implored the assistance of your Lord ,and He answered you: "I will assist you with a thousand of the angels, ranks on ranks. ALLAH made it but a message of hope, and an assurance to your hearts: (in any case) there is no help except from ALLAH: and ALLAH is Exalted in Power, Wise. "
[Surah Al Anfal 8:9-10 ]

The number of angels, a thousand at Badr and three thousand to five thousand at Uhud, is probably not to be taken literally,but to express a strength at least equal to the strength of the enemy. See also Surah 3: 123,125 and 126

All help comes ultimately from ALLAH(Subhana Wa Ta'la). In special cases it may take special forms to put heart into us ,and to fit in with our feelings and our psychology.

"ALLAH had helped you at Badr ,when ye were a contemptible little force; then fear ALLAH; thus may ye show your gratitude. "
[Surah Ali Imran 3:123]

Gratitude to ALLAH (Subhana Wa Ta'la) is not to be measured by words. It should show itself in conduct and life. If all the Muslims had learnt the true lesson from the victory at Badr,their archers would not have left the posts appointed for them, nor two tribes mentioned in the last note ever wavered in their faith.

"Yea-if ye remain firm,and act aright, even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste, your Lord would help you with five thousand angels making a terrific onslaught. ALLAH made it but a message of hope for you , and an assurance to your hearts: (in any case) there is no help except from ALLAH, the Exalted, the Wise."
[Surah Ali Imran 3:125-126]

Whatever happens, whether there is a miracle or not, all help proceeds from ALLAH(Subhana Wa Ta'la). Man should not be so arrogant as to suppose that his own resources will change the current of the world plan. ALLAH(Subhana Wa Ta'la) helps those who show constancy, courage and disciplines, and use all the human means at their disposal, not those who fold their hands and have no faith. But Allah's help is determined on considerations Exalted far above our petty human motive, and by perfect wisdoms, of which we can have only faint glimpses.

Sadaq Allah,
