 Lessons Learned

• The lesson learned from the battle of

Hunayn is that victory always comes from
Allah (SWT) regardless of the number of
men in the army of Muslims. As mentioned in
the Qur’an: At-Tawba 9:25-26
• At-Tawba 9:25-26

• [25] Assuredly Allah did help you in many

battle-fields and on the day of Hunayn:
behold! your great numbers elated you,
but they availed you naught: the land, for
all that it is wide, did constrain you, and
you turned your backs in retreat.
• [26] But Allah did pour His calm on the
Messenger and on the Believers, and sent
down forces which you saw not: He
punished the Unbelievers: thus does He
punishes those without Faith.
