                  Before  going  deep  into  the     between  situation  of  believers
               meaning of dhull in this verse,       at Badr and Uhud.
               we  have  to  suggest  that  some        Although the believers at the
               interpretations  of  the  word        Uhud  Battle  were  strong  in
               “adhallah” emphasize the meaning      terms of forces and troops, they
               of  weakness,  namely    their        lost.    When  they  were  fighting
               forces at Badr were much weaker       the  unbelievers,  they  began  to
               than those of the enemy.              lose  courage,  started  quarreling

                  Some of the interpreters see       with  each  other  and  disobeyed
               that  the  meaning  of  weakness      God's  orders.  Some  of  them
               and humility are far away from        wanted worldly gains and others
               the real indication of  the word      wanted rewards in the hereafter.
               “adhallah”,  that  is  because  of    So Lord let them face defeat.

               sense  and  the  following  verse     Battle  of  Badr,  but  rather  the
               “Honor  belongs  to  God,  His        opposite.  The  believers  were

               Messenger and the  believers”;        weak in terms of troops, but the
               (Al-Munafiqun:  8)  Then,  how        Lord gave them the victory on
               come they were weak and little        account  of  their  humility  and
               while  the  ones  who  were           obedience to Him.
               fighting  against  the  hypocrites       As  a  result,  we  can’t  take
               were  the  Messenger  and  the        dhull  here  in  its  literal

               believers.  (Sadeqi  Tehrani,         meaning. It is not related to the

                  To  solve  this  contradiction,    conditions.  It  is  all  connected
               we  have  to  see  the  difference    to    the     obedience      and
                                                     submission  to  God  and  only
