جنگ یر موک کاایک واقعہ
ہم پہ کرم کیا ہے خدائے غیور نےپورے ہوئے جو وعدے کیے تھے حضور نے
English translation
‘The Exalted God has shown His Mercey to us; have been fulfilled all the promises you had made to us.*
* This verse refers to the Holy Qur’an 2:155-157 read with 33:9-27. Unfavorable circumstances and adversity test the mettle of a person, and sort out the hypocrites from the sincere believers. The attitude of the former is portrayed in 33:9-21 and that of the latter in 33:22-27, particularly 33:22.
