The night after the battle was a painful and sad night, full of sorrow, repentance, and anxiety - Some of Muslims had shown a great courage and mettle, and had fought so bravely that their enemies felt a deep fear in their hearts and withdrew to their camps; but still some of the Muslims felt anxiety and fear for expecting the enemy to renew their attack.

      Then there was a lull - the wounded could have a rest. Those who had fought a hard fight were so tired that soon a kind sleep overcame their eyes:

      ``Then after the sorrow Allah sent down security upon you - a slumber overtook a party of you, while another band of you were still anxious about their life!''

      These were thinking of nothing but to save their own lives. They said to one another: ``In spite of this our painful and hopeless condition how can we expect a victory?''

They were thinking unjust thoughts, and cherishing Paganish ideas about Allah; that: ``If we had anything of the affair in our control, we would not have been slain here.''

      As if they thought their defeat in Ohud was a reason that Islam was not the truth from God! The answer of QURÄN was that: ``Everything, and all your affairs lay in the hands of God, and even if you were in your houses instead of being in the battle-field, those for whom slaying was prescribed, would be out to get killed and to go to their graves.''

      This incidents should have happened for a test to reveal what was hidden in the hearts, and also to purge and purify the minds of the believers from unbecoming ideas about Allah and the truth though Allah knows whatever is hidden in the chests of people.
