Why in Torah Allah Almighty command to Mossa AS for fight and for who against?

In this thought-provoking YouTube video, we delve into the question of why Allah Almighty commanded Mossa AS to fight and who the fight was against, as mentioned in the Torah. Join us as we explore the historical and religious context behind this commandment, seeking a deeper understanding of its significance. Discover the wisdom and lessons that can be derived from this ancient text, shedding light on the complexities of faith and the divine guidance provided in the Torah.

The Torah clearly states that Moses enjoined fighting, and that came about in fulfilment of a promise that was mentioned in the Torah. The Torah speaks a great deal about the Israelites fighting the Midianites in vengeance. The battle plan was drawn up via divine revelations and the matter ended as described:

“The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder. 10 They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps. 11 They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals, 12 and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest”

The Jews claim that God is with them in their battles, and that He will fulfil His promise to them

Hence they used to consult God (“inquire of the LORD”) before every battle, through the priests .

All the battles that are attributed to Moses were primarily aimed at enslaving others

The Jews knew religious warfare from ancient times, and they were accustomed to killing idolaters, both individuals and nations. That was clear in the war against the Amalekites at the time of Moses and was repeated at the time of Saul and David.

This was mentioned by Dr. Bakr Zaki in his book al-Qitaal Mashroo‘iyyatan wa Adaaban fi’l-Islam wa’l-Yahoodiyyah wa’n-Nasraaniyyah (Fighting: Prescription and Code of Conduct in Islam, Judaism and Christianity), p. 269-270

Under the heading: “Is fighting prescribed in Christianity or not?” the author says:

In answer to this we say: self-defence by all possible means is something natural except in those who have no self-respect, just as defence of one’s faith, honour, family and property are all natural instincts if the means are available. Defence may go so far as uniting for that purpose, if the threat is to a community, or to an individual who has some standing in that community, if means of such defence are available. These means include the following:

· Moral strength in the defenders; this is the strongest factor in fighting

· Physical strength that enables use of different weaponry and equipment for fighting

· Availability of a location to form a base for military operations

· Ability to plan tactics and strategy, which is no less important that the other means mentioned above.

If we look for these elements in the Anjeel, we find the following:

[here the author explains at length that none of these elements which facilitate fighting were available at the time of the Messiah (peace be upon him)]

Then he says:

The factors mentioned above did not allow for the prescription of fighting, and indeed such a prescription would have been beyond the people’s means, and the (divine) laws are aimed at making things easy and removing hardship. However, there are two views among the Christian scholars with regard to fighting.

We pray to Allah Almighty to give us permission to read understand and follow Quran, Tafsir and Hadith, Ameen Allah hafiz
