 Question
Is defeat considered evidence of having a
deviation in Manhaj?

Answer
Materialistic or military defeat, in a battle or in
battles, is not evidence of having a deviation in Manhaj
or having a mistake in the path, as some people might
misunderstand. The Awliya and the prophets might be
tested, Allah said, “And these days (of varying
conditions) We alternate among the people.” [3:140]
Imaam ibn Kathir said regarding this Ayah, “We allow
the enemy to overcome you sometimes, though
the final outcome is for you, due to what We have of
wisdom regarding that.”
 In “Sahih Muslim,” from ‘Abdillah ibn ‘Amr that he said, “Prophet
(saws) said, ‘There is no raiding party that raids, retrieves ghanimah,
and returns safely except that they have hastened a third of their
rewards. And there is no raiding party that raids, loses ground, and
is wounded except that they receive all of their rewards.’”

And Imaam Ahmad, and others, have narrated from ‘Abdillah ibn
Salamah that he said, “I have seen Ammar (ibn Yasir) on the Day of
Siffin; an old man, brown and tall, and the spear in his hands is
trembling while saying: ‘By He whom my soul is in His Hand, I have
fought with it with the Messenger of Allah (saws) three times and
this is the fourth, and if they fight us, until they push us back to the
leaves of Hajar, I would have known that we are on haqq and they
are on baatil.’”

And the Prophet (saws) informed us, as in the two books of

authentic Ahadith, the story of the boy and that he became
victorious once he was killed, along with him the people of the
Trench; they were all killed. No one dare say that was because of
a deviation in their Manhaj, or because of some evil in their
actions.
Also in the two books of authentic Ahadith, from Anas ibn Malik (ra)
that Haram ibn Milhan, who is the uncle of Anas from the side of his
mother, was stabbed and (then) took his blood with his hand and
threw it on his head and proclaimed: “I have won by the Lord of
Ka’bah!”

And how beautiful is what ShaykhulIslam ibn Taymiyah said

when he stated, “What can my enemies do to me? My Jannah
and Garden are in my chest, wherever I may roam they are
with me, not departing me. Prison is a chance for seclusion
(with Allah), my death is shahadah, and them kicking me out
from my land is siyahah.”

The real victory is being firm upon the ‘Aqeedah until death,
so that if the last part ends, and the crowd
of hypocrites clap, my shoe will remain above the heads, if
my head is hung on the gallows, and
Allahul musta’an.
