We continue as the Battle of Uhud rages on with the martyrdom of Mus‘ab.  When Mus'ab was killed, the Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) delivered the standard (Raya) to ‘Ali bin Abi Talib.

‘Ali, in conjunction with the other Companions, went on fighting bravely and set marvelous examples of heroism, courage and endurance in both defense and attack.

Hostilities of the enemy grew fiercer than ever with the aim of foiling the plan of withdrawal of the Muslims. Their attempts however proved to be fruitless due to the heroic steadfastness of the lions of Islam

In a regular withdrawal and with great bravery and boldness, the Muslims finally retreated to the cover of Mountain Uhud. Then, the rest of the army followed them to that safe position. In this manner, the genius of Muhammad (ﷺ) foiled that of Khalid bin Al-Waleed.

There were about seventy Sahabah that were martyred in the battle.  The speaker provides commentary on a critical point about the power and unity of Islam as he notes that some the Sahabah that lay dead next to each other fighting in the cause of Allah(سبحانه وتعالى) were once enemies of each other due to their tribal affiliations (i.e. Aws and Khazraj).  Islam united them in brotherhood.

Using this this example of unity, the speaker examines the recent tragic incident of the killing of the African-American George Floyd by police.  The speaker discusses not only this incident, but also highlights the underlying injustice due to racial / ethnic / religious differences that run rampant in the world and provides the only solution for this grave problem.      

The death of George Floyd has again reminded of the injustice and oppression of the African American Community.

The viral footage of a police officer kneeling upon George's neck as he protests "I Cant Breathe" reminds of several other incidences with the  common theme of racism.

Why does this keep happening!

The speaker continues detailed descriptions of the heat of the Battle of Uhud in Part 2. 

In the midst of describing the battle, the speaker enlightens us on a very important point on how Muslims are to view life (in general) and the relationships we keep in life according to Islam.

The speaker takes us through step by step through combat providing us clear vision of the lessons we should take. 

One of the greatest lessons from the Battle of Uhud was that of the neglect of the Archers.  This incident is explained in great detail with reference to the lessons we as Muslims must take today.  Furthermore, the speaker describes the actions of the three types of fighters and their intent to provide us an understanding of the motivations when carrying the dawah.

The most frightening hour of battle was that incident where the beloved Prophet (ﷺ) was injured.  A detailed analysis of some of the Sahabah (RA) who showed unprecedented heroism and marvelous sacrifices to shield and protect the Prophet (ﷺ) is discussed.

As the Battle drew to a close, the sight of the martyrs was extremely heart-breaking for the Muslim and the Prophet Muhammad(ﷺ)- yet the speaker takes us through the understanding of the lessons that we can take today for our own lives. 

Juz’u `Amma – Part 30 of the Qur'an

Juz’u  ‘Amma  is  the  most  commonly  recited  and  memorized  portion  of  the  Qur’ān.  It contains thirty-seven sūrahs, all of which were revealed in Makkah with the exception of al-Bayyinah and an-Naṣr.  Because these sūrahs were revealed during the earliest stages of the prophetic mission and were being recited primarily to an audience of unbelievers and skeptics, their objective is to awaken the unconscious and implant faith in the heart.  Varying in length, all are relatively short sūrahs with essentially similar themes.

These early revelations came in powerful language consisting of short, concise but eloquent sentences; their literary style was so unique that it attracted a great deal of attention.  Logical evidences supported the universal truths expressed within them.  Their verses exposed the errors  of  the  idolaters  and  criticized  their  blind adherence  to  a  religion  of  unsanctioned customs.  They convey basic principles of morality, ethics and righteous conduct taught by all prophets as an indispensable part of

As is generally the case with Makkan revelation, the emphasis in Juz’u ‘Amma is on essential beliefs – in particular, the issues of tawḥeed, the Prophethood of Muhammad (ﷺ) and the life after death.  Al-Qiyāmah (the Resurrection) is described vividly in several of its sūrahs as a terrifying, overwhelming event.  Ibn ‘Umar reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) had said,  "Whoever would  like  to  perceive  the  Day  of  Resurrection  as  if  with  his  own  eyes  may  recite  Sūrahs  at-Takweer, al-Infiṭār and al-Inshiqāq."53  Subject matter includes: the creative power of Allah(سبحانه وتعالى)as observed in the phenomena of nature on earth and in the heavens, the inevitable  and complete manifestation of that power in the Hereafter, the Lord's mercy and countless favors to mankind, the arrogance and ingratitude shown by most of mankind, the consequences of belief and denial, threat against evildoers and promise of reward for the righteous.  

There are also some brief references to earlier prophets and divine retribution upon those who opposed them. The  unbelievers  are  admonished  for  their  ignorance  and  immorality, their  opposition  to  truth  and  their  persecution  of the  believers. 

Allah(سبحانه وتعالى) warns that every individual will be held fully accountable for his actions and intentions at the final account and judgment, and that each will find just recompense for his deeds, both good and evil, in an eternal life to come.
