The Pagan Quraish of Mak'kah {Mak'kah) rejoiced at theo verthrow of Rome by Persia.
They were pro-Persian, and in their heart of hearts they hoped that the nascent movement of lslam, which at that time was, from a worldly point of view, very weak and helpless, would also collapse under their persecution. But they misread the true
signs of the times. They are told here that they would soon be
disillusioned in both their calculations, and it actually so happened at
the battle of lssus in 622 (the year of Hijrat) and in 624, when Heraclius carried his campaign into the heart of Persia and the Mak'kan (Mak'kahn) Quraish were beaten off at Badr.
The Battle of Badr (2 A.H = 624 A.D.) was a real time of rejoicing for the Believers and a time of disillusionment for the arrogant Quraish, who thought that they could crush the whole movement of Islam in Madina as they had tried to do in Mak'kah (Mak'kah), but they were signally repulsed.
The Holy Qur'an mentions this event as under:
"Alif Lam mim. The Roman Empire has been defeated in a
neighbouring land. But after their defeat they shall themselves gain
victory within a few years. Allah's is the command before and after.
"𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩. 𝐇𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥. 𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥." (𝐐𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧 30:1).
