Q
What is the significance of striving and fighting in the cause of Allah compared to staying at home?
A
There was revealed: ‘Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and those who strive and fight in
the Cause of Allah.’ (4.95)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Call Zaid for me and let him bring the board, the inkpot and the scapula bone (or
the scapula bone and the ink pot).”‘ Then he said, “Write: ‘Not equal are those Believers who sit..”, and
at that time `Amr bin Um Maktum, the blind man was sitting behind the Prophet (ﷺ) . He said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! What is your order For me (as regards the above Verse) as I am a blind man?” So, instead of
the above Verse, the following Verse was revealed:
‘Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind
or lame etc.) and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah.’ (4.95)
