Obviously we all know the Makkan pagans held talks on the growing strength of Islam. Firstly they consulted Abu Talib to warn the Holy Prophet but yielded nothing. The conversions of Hamzah and Umar رضي الله عنهما  had changed things considerably, and the Makkans realised their power base was fast collapsing. Utbah bin Rabi’a, a member of Banu Abd Shams, was a chieftian of his people and well-respected throughout Makkah. He addressed the other notables of Makkah who had gathered to discuss the problem of Muhammad ﷺ and his followers:

“O people of Quraysh, shall I not talk to Muhammad and bargain with him‌. Perhaps he will accept my offer, in which case we will be rid of him.” The council approved, and Utbah was charged with approaching the Prophet ﷺ with an offer no ordinary man could refuse‌. Utbah found Muhammad ﷺ sitting alone at the Ka’bah. He said: “O my nephew! You know you enjoy a high position in this city. You are the best among us in lineage. Now you have brought something very serious, and you have created a rift among your people by ridiculing them, insulting their gods as well as their religion, declaring their forefathers to be heathens, and rejecting theor customs.

Now, listen to me. I will make a few suggestions, and you may find one agreeable.” “O Abdul Waleed,” replied the Prophet ﷺ, “go on. I am listening”. Utbah continued: “My nephew, if it is wealth you hope to obtain by your preaching, we will collect enough for you so that you will be the richest among us. If it is honour you desire, we will make you our chief and leave every decision to you‌⁩. If you wish to be king, we will recognise you as our monarch. If you desire beautiful women, choose any woman from the Quraysh ‌⁩– we will give you ten such women in marriage.

And if you are possessed by a demon, we will find a skilled physician for you and spend all that it takes to restore your health”. “Is that all you have to say?” the Prophet ﷺ asked. “Yes,” replied Utbah. “Now listen to me,” said the Prophet . “I am listening,” he said. The Prophet ﷺ then recited the opening verses of the Surah Fussilat: “Haa-Meem. A revelation from Allah, the Most gracious, the Most Merciful. A book with verses that are explained in detail. A Qur’an in Arabic for people who understand.

Giving glad tidings and admonition, yet most of them turn away, and so do not hear. They say: Our hearts are veiled from that which you invite us to accept, our ears are deaf, and between you and us is a screen. So do your work, and we will do ours.” *(41: 1-5)*. The Prophet ﷺ continued to recite, and Utbah listened carefully. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to the following verse: “And if they turn away, then say: I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt that struck Aad and Thamood.” *(41: 13)*

Utbah put his hand on Muhammad’s mouth and pleaded with him not to bring about such a terrible punishment.‌ The Prophet ﷺ came to a verse that required him to prostrate, and he did so. Having finished his recitation, he asked Utabh, “O Abdul Waleed, have you heard‌”’ “Yes,” he replied. “Then it is time for you to decide,” Muhammad ﷺ said.

*Let’s continue on how this chapter was revealed*👇🏻.                                          *109:1 Al-Kaafiroon*

قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ
Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) to these Mushrikun and Kafirun): "O Al-Kafirun (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the Day of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar, etc.)!                                                   *109:2 Al-Kaafiroon*

لَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
"I worship not that which you worship,

*109:3 Al-Kaafiroon*
وَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ
"Nor will you worship that which I worship.                                                 *109:4 Al-Kaafiroon*
وَلَا أَنَا عَابِدٌ مَا عَبَدْتُمْ
"And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.                            *109:5 Al-Kaafiroon*
وَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ
"Nor will you worship that which I worship.                                                  109:6 Al-Kaafiroon
لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ
"To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islamic Monotheism).".

Utbah then left and went directly to his comrades. As he approached them, they noticed a strange expression on his face. They asked him what had happened, and he related what had passed between him and Muhammad ﷺ : “I have heard a discourse the like of which I have never heard. I swear to God, O Quraysh, that it is not poetry, nor is it the result of spells or witchcraft. Take my advice and leave this man alone. By God, something more astonishing is bound to happen than what I have heard.

Now, if the Arabs kill this man, your task will be accomplished by others, and if this man brings the Arabs under his control, his kingdom will be your kingdom, his honour will be your honour, and he will prove fortunate for you”. Utbah’s audience grew suspicious. “You have been
bewitched by his tongue,” they said. “This is my opinion,” replied Utbah. “Now you may do whatever you think fit”. If Muhammad ﷺ could not be tempted to renounce his
religion, the Makkans thought, perhaps he would compromise.

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...

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...
