`Uqbah bin `Amir Al-Juhani (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) saying from the pulpit, "
Prepare to meet them (the enemy) with as much strength as you can afford. Verily!
Strength is in archery, strength is in archery, strength is in archery
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
In accordance with the conditions of his times, the Prophet (PBUH) ordained the Muslims to acquire
every possible power and keep it ready for war. Elucidating his order on this point, he stated that by power he meant
archery and then he repeated this word three times to stress its importance. He did it because the art of archery had
fundamental importance in war at that time. In the present-day world, archery has lost its value as it has been
replaced by other inventions like tanks, guns, missiles, atom bombs, etc. Similar is the case of devices which are
used in air and naval war, and all these military wares have superb importance in modern warfare. In the present-day
context, the injunction of the Noble Qur'an to acquire power means manufacturing and possession of all these
devices. It is incumbent on the Muslims that they equip themselves with all this material and show no carelessness
in this regard. In modern times, Muslims have badly neglected this field with the result that non-Muslims have more
knowledge of modern warfare and by dint of that they are dominating the world and making a claim of their
supremacy all over the world. Unless Muslims pursue the Qur'anic injunctions on this score and acquire greater or
equal or at least similar measure and style of power, as is possessed by the non-Muslims, they will not be able to
check the onslaught of their enemies, and to defeat them. It is incumbent upon the Muslims to overpower the might
and power of the infidels for the glorification of Islam.

`Uqbah bin `Amir Juhani (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
saying, "
Lands shall be laid open to you, and Allah will suffice you (against your enemies), but none of you should
neglect practicing his skill in archery
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Muslims have been informed through this Hadith that gates of conquest of many regions will be
opened on them in future. Almighty Allah will favour them with special help; and because of this help enemies will
not be able to cause any harm to them. But it is essential that they should not slack in acquiring the material
resources required for war, nor neglect military preparations and exercises. Modern military weapons and new style
of warfare have now taken the place of archery, and Muslims should master all of them.

`Uqbah bin `Amir Al-Juhani (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
said, "
He who learnt archery and then neglected it, is not from us.''
(Or said,)
"He has been guilty of disobedience (to
Messenger of Allah)
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith also stresses the importance of the art of archery to the extent that if a Muslim forgets it
after learning without a valid reason, he is excluded from the followers of the Prophet (PBUH). Now this
exhortation applies with equal force to modern military weapons, and if the present-day Muslims lose their
command in handling these weapons, they will be exposed to the consequences of which they have been warned in
this Hadith, because their training in this field is essential for upholding the Word of Allah and defending the
Muslims. If the Muslims lose proficiency in it after acquiring it, they will be guilty of neglecting a very important
Islamic obligation.
