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


*Part 191*


*THE CONQUEST OF MECCA continues*


*THE MUSLIM ARMY PROCEED TOWARDS MECCA*


On Tuesday morning, 27th Ramadān, 8 A.H., the Muslim army left Marr Az-Zahrān and headed towards Mecca. The Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) asked Al-'Abbās to detain Abu Sufyān at a commanding gorge to see the huge Muslim army while moving towards Mecca.


When Abu Sufyān saw the Muslim tribes raising their flags while passing by him, he got astonished. When at last he saw the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) marching among the Immigrants and the supporters, he wondered at their power, saying: "O Abu Al-Fadl, the sovereignty of your cousin became too boundless." Al-'Abbas said: "It is the power of Prophethood."


Sa'ad Ibn Ubādah, who was carrying the flag of the supporters, said while passing by Abu Sufyān: "Today will witness the great fight and the humiliation of Quraish, none can seek sanctuary at the Sacred House."


Abu Sufyān complained about this to the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon) who said: "No! Today the Sacred House will be sanctified and Quraish will be honoured." Then, he ordered that the banner should be given to his son Qais. Some historians said that the flag was given to Az-Zubayr.


PEOPLE OF QURAISH ARE SURPRISED BY THE MUSLIM ARMY


Abu Sufyān hurried up to his people, shouting at them: "O people of Quraish, Muhammad is coming to you with a great army, so whosoever enters my house is safe." His wife Hind bint 'Utba tugged his moustache and dispraised his stance.


All people mocked at him and then scattered in different directions. Yet, he reiterated his warning, saying: "He who takes refuge in Abu Sufyān's house is safe, whosoever confines himself to his house is safe and he who enters the Sacred Mosque is safe."


A group including 'Ikrimah Ibn Abu Jahl, Safwān Ibn Umayya, Suhail Ibn 'Amr and Himas Ibn Qais, gathered at Al-Khandamah to fight the Muslims.


THE MUSLIM ARMY AT DHU TUWA


At Dhu Tuwa, the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) started to lay out a military plan for penetrating into Mecca. He appointed Khālid Ibn Al-Walīd as a leader over the right wing that includes Aslam, Sulaim, Ghifar, Muzainah and Juhainah tribes. He ordered them to enter Mecca from the south. Meanwhile, Az-Zubayr Ibnul-'Awwām was assigned the leadership of the left flank and was given to the banner. The Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) ordered him to enter from the north, from Kadā, and to fix the banner at Al-Hajoun. Abu 'Ubaidah, the commander of infantry and unarmed soldiers, was ordered to penetrate via a side valley.


THE MUSLIM ARMY ENTER MECCA


Each battalion of the Muslim army followed the instructions of their supreme commander, the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) and advanced through different routes. On their way to Mecca, Khālid Ibnul-Walīd and his brigade killed twelve of the ruffians of Quraish: yet, two Muslims were martyred, Kurz Ibn Jābir Al-Fihry and Khunais Ibn Khālid Ibn Rabī'ah, because they swerved from the path of their army. At the same time Khālid and his troops managed to defeat Himās Ibn Qais (who was preparing weapons for fighting Muslims) and forced him to stay at home.


The platoon has successfully broke up into Mecca and met the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him) at As-Safā. On the other hand, Az-Zubayr reached Al-Hajoun where he fiked the flag.

"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 ...

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...
