“There has already been for you a sign in the two forces that met: one contingent fighting in the path of Allah and another made up of disbelievers. They saw the believers with their very eyes to be twice their own number, but Allah lends His help to whom He wills. Surely in this is a lesson for people of insight.” ⦗3:13⦘

The Exalted also said:

“He is the One who drove out of their homes, at the first gathering for exile, those from the People of the Scripture who disbelieved. You never thought they would leave, and they themselves were sure their strongholds would defend them against Allah. But Allah came upon them from where they did not expect, and He cast terror into their hearts; they were destroying their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So take heed, O people of insight! Had Allah not prescribed banishment for them, He would have punished them in this world, and in the Hereafter they will have the punishment of the Fire. That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger; and whoever opposes Allah, then surely Allah is severe in punishment.” ⦗59:2-3⦘
