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

*Part 159*

*THE LESSER PILGRIMAGE ('UMRAH) OF AL-HUDAIBIYYA IN DHUL-QA'ADAH, 6 A.H.*

THE CAUSE
As conditions developed considerably to Muslims' benefits, the precursors of the greatest conquest (of Mecca) and the success of the calling of Islam began to emerge gradually and the preliminary steps towards acknowledging Muslims' right to observing their acts of worship in the Holy Masjid (mosque) were taken. The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) had a dream that he and his followers entered the Holy Masjid, took charge of the key of the Ka'abah, circumambulated it, performed 'Umrah and shaved their heads. When the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) informed his Companions of that, they became very glad and realised that they would enter Mecca in the same year. Afterwards, the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) told them that he decided to perform 'Umrah and ordered them to prepare themselves for the journey.

MOBILISING MUSLIMS

The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) called up Arabs and desert nomads around him to set out with him. A lot of Arab nomads lagged behind. The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) had his clothes washed and rode his she-camel Al-Qaswa and put Ibn Umm Makhtoum in charge of Madīnah. The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) went off to Mecca on Monday, 1st Dhul-Qa'adah, 6 A.H. leading about one thousand five hundred Muslims and taking his wife Umm Salamah with him. They carried no arms but what they needed to protect themselves during their journey (i.e their swords were sheathed).

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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...

The story of taqwa

 The story of taqwa. Taqwa means fear of Allah. There once lived a young woman who was very beautiful lady and had all the qualities a man needed. She was well covered and oneday ,she was attacked with her families. This woman was taken away and brought to a man who was the bandits leader. As she was brought, the man wanted to sleep with her as she was so sad and in pain. As she undressed and coming to her, she said fear Allah and know death can come to you now. If you have a mother or sister like me, don't disgrace and destroy my honor for I won't forgive you  The leader immediately remembered he had a sister he loved a lot and so he quickly stopped and dressed and said to the lady, you can go. All the bandits were amazed of what their leader did. Three days later,the man whose sister was there and everyone in the sister knew her brother was wicked man. So every man was sacred. So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
