Transliteration:( Wa inna jundana lahumul ghaaliboon )
"And surely our armies would be victorious [170]."
The "army of Allah Almighty" refers to those who are firmly resolved to work for Allah’s cause, including:
Islamic scholars,
Soldiers of Islam,
Believers who take responsibility to serve the religion.
Though apparent worldly outcomes may differ, like at Karbala where Yazid’s forces prevailed physically and Imam Husain (May Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, the true, lasting victory belongs to the righteous.
Imam Husain’s sacrifice preserved the purity and principles of Islam, while Yazid’s rule ultimately ended in defeat and disgrace, demonstrating that Allah’s cause always triumphs in reality.
The tafsir of Surah As-Saffat verse 173 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Saffat ayat 171 which provides the complete commentary from verse 171 through 179.
(37:173) and that Our hosts shall triumph.[93]
93. Allah’s army: implies the believers who obey Allah’s Messenger and side with him. This also includes those unseen powers by which Allah helps the followers of the truth.
This help and domination does not necessarily mean that in every age every Prophet of Allah and his followers must attain political dominance, but this dominance has many forms, one of which is political rule as well. Wherever the Prophets of Allah did not attain any such dominance, they did establish their moral superiority even in those places. The nations which did not accept their message and adopted a way contrary to their teachings were ultimately doomed to destruction. Whatever philosophies of error and misguidance the people invented and whatever corrupt and evil practices of life they enforced died out ultimately after they had their sway for some time. But the truths preached by the Prophets of Allah for thousands of years have been unalterable before as they are unalterable today. No one has been able to disprove them in any way.
[1314]- If not in this world, then definitely in the Hereafter.
