Fighting in defense of Truth and Right: Story of David and Goliath, 2:243-252
ОглавлениеC. 51.(2:243-253)—Fighting in defence of Truth and Right
Is not to be undertaken lightheartedly,
Nor to be evaded as a duty.
Life and Death are in the hands of God.
Not all can be chosen to fight
For God. It requires constancy,
Firmness, and faith. Given these,
Large armies can be routed
By those who battle for God,
As shown by the courage of David,
Whose prowess single-handed
Disposed of the Philistines.
The mission of some of the apostles,
Like Jesus, was different,—
Less wide in scope than that
Of Muṣṭafā. God’s plan
Is universal, and He carries it out
As He wills.
