Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Did you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings
be upon him) not see a group of the Descendants of Israel,
after Moosa? When they said to one of their Prophets (Shamueel
- Samuel), "Appoint a king for us so that we may fight in
Allah's way"? He said, "Do you think you would refrain from
fighting if it is made obligatory for you?" They said, "What
is the matter with us that we should not fight in Allah's
cause, whereas we have been driven away from our homeland and
our children?" So when fighting was ordained for them, they
all turned away, except a few; and Allah is Well Aware of the
unjust.
