The postponing (of a Sacred Month) is indeed an addition to
disbelief: thereby the disbelievers are led astray, for they make it lawful one
year and forbid it another year in order to adjust the number of months
forbidden by Allâh, and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their
deeds is made fair-seeming pleasing to them. And Allâh guides not the people,
who disbelieve. (37) O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you
are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allâh (i.e. Jihâd) you cling heavily
to the earth? Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the
Hereafter? But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world as compared to
the Hereafter.[] (38) If you march not forth, He will punish you with a painful
torment and will replace you by another people, and you cannot harm Him at all,
and Allâh is Able to do all things (39) If you help him (Muhammad SAW) not (it does
not matter), for Allâh did indeed help him when the disbelievers drove him out,
the second of two, when they (Muhammad SAW and Abu Bakr radhiallahu'anhu) were
in the cave, and he (SAW) said to his companion (Abu Bakr radhiallahu'anhu):
"Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allâh is with us." Then Allâh sent
down His Sakînah (calmness, tranquillity, peace) upon him, and strengthened him
with forces (angels) which you saw not, and made the word of those who
disbelieved the lowermost, while the Word of Allâh that became the uppermost, and Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (40)
