Heavenly and Earthly Narratives of Battles in Quran
It provides us with a heavenly narrative that takes place along with Divine Sunnahs (laws) and is the key to understand developments and the secret of the axis of resistance.
In these series of articles, we try to analyze the recent events, especially the brutal aggression by the US and the Zionist regime on our country, based on the verses of the Holy Quran.
Every incident can be narrated from two perspectives: earthly and heavenly. For example, in analyzing a battle, there is an earthly narrative part of which points to statistics, such as the number of missiles fired or the number of casualties.
This earthly narrative has its own logic. For example, according to the Holy Quran in Verse 60 of Surah Al-Infaq, entering the battlefield should include strategy, logic and necessary equipment and one must not act recklessly.
But this only part of the story. There is also a heavenly narrative along with the earthly one. This heavenly narrative has many examples in the Holy Quran. A clear example for this for us is the Ashura uprising and the Seerah of Imam Hussein (AS).
In the earthly narrative, Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions were martyred and his family members were taken as prisoners. But in the heavenly narrative, the school of Imam Hussein (AS) is the vessel of salvation and guidance for the Islamic Ummah.
