* Note 003:014. The real importance of the ruling in this verse is lasting and perpetual. The Believers are given a cart blanche mandate that if true in their Faith they will always win against much bigger, larger and stronger foes. The condition is that the Believers must be so in the real sense of the word with full faith in the Almighty God and not merely with a lip-service.

It is the application of this rule to one instance as its illustration where the translations vary. The Battle of Badr was fought on March 13, 624 AD [“17 Ramadan, 2 AH in the Islamic calendar” – Wikipedia]. On one side were about 1,000 armed soldiers invaders from Mecca. The other side was 313 Moslem Believers who were hardly equipped for a war. Odds were heavily stacked against Moslems and yet they defeated the 3-times-larger army.

The phrase seeing them twice them in this verse has been translated in different ways. The translations differ regarding Who saw with their own eyes and Whom did they see. The verse has used two words  هُمۡ  and  هِمۡ  and they both are pronouns. Do both these pronouns refer to only one side? If so, which one? Or, one pronoun to one side and the other to the opposing faction? That is why the following different interpretations exist.

  1. The believers saw the invaders twice their own number whereas actually they were three times the number of Believers.
  2. The invaders saw the believers twice their actual number which really was only 313 (as generally stated, or 319 as stated by N J Dawood).
  3. The believers saw themselves as if they were twice their own actual number.
  4. The invaders saw themselves as if they were twice their actual number of 1000.
  5. Both groups appeared in their own eyes — as well as to those of their opponents — twice their actual numbers.

** Note 002:273.  M Mohammad Ali in his Note 359 made a very significant point that strikes at the very root, and contradicts the Mullah-fabricated concept, of Jihad. He stated as follows.

The Muslim society had “to repel its enemies in the interests of its existence. It show that the Muslims did not fight to bring the disbelievers into the folds of Islam; for that, the Prophet is told in words, was not his responsibility. It was for the good of their people, the defence of the Muslim community that the Muslims were required to raise subscriptions”.
