*AR-RAHĪQ AL-MAKHTOUM (The Pure Nectar). A Treaties On Prophet Muhammad's Biography.*

*Part 140*

*THE BATTLE OF UHUD continues*

*THE EXPEDITION OF DAWMATUL-JANDAL (A PLACE IN THE ENVIRONS OF ASH-SHĀM)*

The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) returned from Badr and Peace reigned supreme in Madīnah. So he wanted to turn his attention to controlling the farthest Arabian borders so that Muslims would have control over the situation and their proponents and opponents would acknowledge their might.

 The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) stayed in Madīnah for six months after the minor Badr. Then he got information that the tribes which lived around Domatul-Jandal (near Ash-Shām) committed highway robberies against the caravans that used to pass by them and that they got ready for attacking Madīnah. The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) formed an army of one thousand fighters of Muslims and employed a man from Banu 'Uzrah called Mazkour as a guide. He made Siba' Ibn Urfatah Al-Ghifāry to run the affairs of Madīnah. The army were marching by night and waiting in ambush by day to attack the enemy unexpectedly. When the army approached them, they turned tail leaving behind much cattle and sheep, some of which the Muslim army captured.

As for the inhabitants of Domatul-Jandal, they fled away. When Muslims entered their dwellings, they found them deserted. So the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) stayed for several days and deployed his troops but they found nobody. After that the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) returned to Madīnah and ordered Ubayna Ibn Hisn to be in charge of Madīnah.

Through such speedy measures and wise plans the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) succeeded in imposing security, spreading peace around the whole region, changing the course of history to the benefit of Muslims and alleviating the external and domestic problems that surrounded them. Hypocrites became quite; a group of the Jews have evacuated from Madīnah; the remaining Jewish groups who lived in Madīnah went into treaties with Muslims; desert nomads yielded to Muslims; Quraish stopped attacking them. So they found a great opportunity to spread Islam and convey the message of Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala).

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w...

IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE An obligation upon every Muslim

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE* ➖➖➖ *An obligation upon every Muslim* ➖➖➖  Allah ﷻ says  *وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا* _And He taught Adam all the names of everything_ Meaning, the names that people use, such as human, animal, sky, earth, land, sea, horse, donkey, and so forth, including the names of the other species" *ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلَـئِكَةِ* _Then He showed them to the angels_ Meaning, the creations. Qatadah رحمه الله said, _"Allah paraded the objects before the angels"_ *فَقَالَ أَنۢبِـُٔونِى بِأَسْمَآءِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ* _And said, "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful."_ [2:31] This was said to the Angels who in the previous verse said : *أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَآءَ* _Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood._ [2:30] _ So they the Angels said  *قَالُواْ سُبْحَـنَكَ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلاَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِي...
