18 - Commentary on Surah al-Fath (48) - Review of Verse 26

In this Ramadan series of lectures, Shaykh Saleem reviews Surah al-Fath (48) - The Chapter of the Victory.

In part 18, he goes over verse twenty-six: "Recall that time O Muḥammad When those who disbelieved – meaning the polytheists of Mecca - harbored in their hearts, fierce zealotry coming from egotism, tribalism, and feuding, the zealotry particular to the Age of Ignorance – Jāhilīyyah which prevented them from allowing the Muslims to come into the city of Mecca for the Umrah. And so in response, Allāh sent down His (gift of) inner peace and reassurance on His Messenger, sakinah, and on the believers, and bound them to the Word and the spirit of faith, piety, and reverence for God - taqwa. They were most worthy of it and entitled to it; and Allāh has full knowledge of everything."
