Excellent Biography of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ


Episode 122


BANI AL-MUSTALIQ (Muraisi‘) GHAZWAH, SHA'BAN 6 HIJRI


Though militarily it did not assume its full dimension, this Ghazwah had certain implications that brought about a state of turbulence within the Islamic State, and resulted in disgracefulness to clothe in the hypocrites. Moreover, it entailed enactment of consolidating legislations that attached 

an impression of nobility, dignity and purity of souls to the Islamic community. 

News reached the Prophet (Peace be upon him) on Sha‘ban 2nd. to the effect that the chief of Bani 

Al-Mustaliq, Al-Harith bin Dirar had mobilised his men, along with some Arabs, to attack Madinah. 

Buraidah bin Al-Haseeb Al-Aslami was immediately despatched to verify the reports. He had some 

words with Abi Dirar, who confirmed his intention of war. He later sent a reconnoiterer to explore 

the positions of the Muslims but he was captured and killed. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) 

summoned his men and ordered them to prepare for war. Before leaving, Zaid bin Haritha was 

mandated to see to the affairs of Madinah and dispose them. On hearing the advent of the Muslims, 

the disbelievers got frightened and the Arabs going with them defected and ran away to their lives. 

Abu Bakr was entrusted with the banner of the Emigrants, and that of the Helpers went to Sa‘d bin 

‘Ubada. The two armies were stationed at a well called Muraisi. Arrow shooting went on for an hour, 

and then the Muslims rushed and engaged with the enemy in a battle that ended in full victory for 

the Muslims. Some men were killed, women and children of the disbelievers taken as captives, and 

a lot of booty fell to the lot of the Muslims. Only one Muslim was killed by mistake by a Helper. 

Amongst the captives was Juwairiyah, daughter of Al-Harith, chief of the disbelievers. The Prophet 

(Peace be upon him) married her and, in compensation, the Muslims had to manumit a hundred 

others of the enemy prisoners who embraced Islam, and were then called the Prophet’s in-laws.

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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
