Now we will get to the heart of our discussion today, which is Battle of Hunayn. The Quraysh were the most powerful political force against Islam before the conquest of Mecca. Even after the conquest of Mecca, a group remained against the Muslims and their presence is mentioned in the Quran. We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish]. (Quran 41:31) The two cities being discussed here are Mecca and Taif. The Shakib tribe lived…
The conquest of Mecca was followed by the fall of the Quraysh and the polytheists, who were the main enemies of the Muslims. Many years ago, Mecca was just a deserted desert. Allah commanded His Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to leave his wife Hagar in the desert of Mecca. Abraham (peace be upon him) followed the command of Allah to the letter. He left his wife and child in the desert of Mecca as commanded. He prayed to Allah while leaving his wife and son Ismail there. Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an…
In the previous episode, we discussed the preparations for the conquest of Mecca and its context. The Prophet (peace be upon him) started his journey towards Mecca with an army of 10,000, and the son of this army was the largest army ever. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) reached a place called Jitwa with his army. Once there, he decided who would lead which part of his army. And I gave instructions on how to enter Mecca. The left flank was led by Khalid bin Walid (RA). The right side was led by Ashu Bhaiyya…
Today’s topic of discussion is the conquest of Mecca. 21 years ago, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received prophethood from Allah in the city of Mecca. For the first three years of his prophethood, his invitation to Islam was limited to his relatives and family. In the fourth year, he began to openly call others to Islam directly. Later, the Quraysh tribe began attacking the Muslims. They started atrocities and torture against Muslims. Then a group migrated and took Abu Se, unable to bear the torture, left. The Battle of Badr took place in the second year after the Prophet (peace…
All the wars that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had previously waged were mainly wars against internal factions or to suppress them. But with the Battle of Mut’ar, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) started a war with the Romans, which was the first international war. The word “Roman” or “Rum” in the hadith basically refers to the West. And “Sham” refers to the countries of present-day Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan – which we discussed earlier. This war was the first time Muslims and Christians faced each other on the battlefield. If this…
After the Treaty of Hudaybiyah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent letters to the kings of the surrounding regions inviting them to Islam. The Quraysh had already lost the psychological war to the Muslims. In this context, in the eighth year of the Hijri, three prominent men or important people of the Quraysh decided to embrace Islam. First, we will discuss the story of Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him). He himself narrated that he fought against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the Battle…
First, we will discuss the story of Safiyya bint Huyai (may Allah be pleased with her) marriage to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This Safiyya bint Huyai (may Allah be pleased with her) is the daughter of the leader of the Banu Nazir tribe. This leader died at the hands of Muslims in the Battle of Khyber and his son was killed by Muslims. Her husband, brother, father were all killed by the Muslims in the Battle of Khyber and she was taken prisoner of war. In that case, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon…
Today’s topic is the Battle of Khyber. This war was fought against the Jews. Previously, a truce was signed with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) for 10 years with the Quraysh. Let’s first discuss how this war began. The people of Khaybar did not show hostility to the Muslims during the life of Mecca or in the early days of Islam. But after giving shelter to the Banu Nazir tribe, their attitude began to change. The Banu Nazir tribe fled from Medina and took refuge in Khaibar, and from the moment they took refuge, the Jews there began to be hostile…
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was a man of great self-respect. He was deeply hurt by the terms of the argument. He could not accept that they had come to perform Umrah, but would return without performing Umrah. However, he later regretted his behavior. Here he questioned the terms of the treaty because he wanted victory on the “Din” of Allah. At first glance, his terms seemed insulting, so he did not want to make peace with the infidels. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called Ali (may Allah be pleased…
And [mention] when We made the House a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], “Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer].” (Quran 3:125) The Kaaba has a certain attraction that once one sees the Kaaba, one wants to see it again and again. Due to the prayer of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), Allah created a love…
