Shaykh Amin encourages us to study Surah Al-Furqan, even with the aid of a translation, but with important reservations. In his short commentary on this surah, he cites multiple examples from the seerah of the last messenger (and that of the other prophets) wherein a call to action is not contingent upon strength in numbers. Allah (S) places untold barakah in an act of absolute obedience of his commands.
“The numbers game was never a value that the sunnah appreciated.”
“Allah (S) is so high and so elevated that he doesn’t need numbers to prove his point.”
