The Tatar garrison in Gaza was taken by surprise, which led to their bitter defeat. However, the Tatars were surprised not only by the sudden attack, the good military plan, and the high strategic dimensions to take the suitable positions, but also by the discovery that from among the Muslims, there was a part still able to fight, and carry the swords in defense of their religion, territory, honor and dignity. The Tatars were used to seeing groups of Muslims fleeing from them, and the Tatar leaders used to find Muslim rulers seeking disgraceful alliance and humiliating submission; and they never expected to find a Muslim sect still defending its rights.
That was the assumption of the Tatars, which, however, was wrong. This (Muslim) Ummah, no matter how weak it becomes, would never die, and even if some of its people submit, there would remain others to defend its rights as long as there is life on earth.
In this connection, it was narrated on the authority of Thawbaan, May Allaah Be Pleased with him, that he said that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "A sect of my Ummah will continue to be victorious on the right (path), and their opponents will cause no harm to them in the least until the Command of Allaah comes." [Muslim]
Exalted be Allaah! According to the narration of Imaam Ahmad, May Allaah Have mercy upon him, on the authority of Abu Umaamah, May Allaah Be Pleased with him, there is the important addition: “The Companions asked about this sect, saying, ‘O Messenger of Allaah! Where will this sect be?’ He said, ‘In Bayt Al-Maqdis, and the precincts of Bayt Al-Maqdis.’"
Although those who fought the Tatars in Gaza and afterwards in ‘Ayn Jaaloot were, most of the time, not from the inhabitants of Bayt Al-Maqdis and Palestine, Allaah The Almighty Made this pure territory of Palestine a place for the Muslims’ victories.
Of course there might be flaws and declines, but the Muslims will inevitably stand once again.
stay tuned........
