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


*Part 189*


*THE CONQUEST OF MECCA continues*


*THE MUSLIM ARMY MARCH TOWARDS MECCA*


In Ramadān, 8 A.H., the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) and ten thousand Muslims marched towards Mecca. He appointed Abu Ruhm Al-Ghifary to take charge of Madīnah.


At Al-Juhfah, Al-'Abbas Ibn 'Abdul-Mutallib, the Prophet's uncle, and his family met the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) and announced their conversion to Islam. Abu Sufyān Ibn al-Hārith and 'Abdullāh Ibn Abu Umayya met their cousin Muhammad (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) at Al-Abwaa; yet, he returned away from them because of inflicting severe harm on him previously. Umm Salamah asked the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon) to forgive them. 'Ali also asked Abu Sufyān to plead the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) for pardon, citing the words of Joseph's brothers in the Glorious Qur-ān:



Surah Yusuf, Verse 91:


قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ آثَرَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَاطِئِينَ


They said: "By Allah! Indeed Allah has preferred you above us, and we certainly have been sinners."



'Ali added: "He won't let anyone give a statement better than him." Abu Sufyān recited the aforementioned verse and the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him), accordingly, forgave him, quoting Joseph's words:



Surah Yusuf, Verse 92:


قَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ


He said: "No reproach on you this day, may Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!



Then the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) gave him a pat on the chest and said: "You made me so impressed."


THE MUSLIM ARMY ENCAMPS AT MAR AZ-ZAHRĀN


The Muslims, while fasting, marched on till reaching Al-Kudaid, a well between 'Usfān and Qudaid, where they broke their fasting. Then, they proceeded and reaching Marr Az-Zahrān, where they camped and the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon) ordered them to light as many as ten thousand fires for cooking purposes. 'Umar commanded the guards.




{To be continued In-sha-Allāh (If Allāh Wills)...}



"And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers." (Qur-ān 51:55)

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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
