Then came the day. Hamzah went out of his house towards the desert carrying his bow to practice his favourite sport of hunting (in which he was very skilled ). He spent most of his day there. On his way home he passed by  Al-Ka’bah as usual, to circumambulate it. Near Al-Ka’bah, a female servant of Abd Allah lbn Jud’aan saw him and  said, ‘O Abu Umarah! You haven’t seen what happened to Your nephew at the hands of Abu Al-Hakam lbn Hisham. When he saw Muhammad (ﷺ) sitting there, he hurt him and called him bad names and treated him in a way that he hated’.

She went on to explain what Abu Jahl had done to the Prophet of Allah. Hamzah listened to her Carefully and paused for a while,then with his right hand he picked up his bow and put it on his  Shoulder. He walked with fast, steady steps towards Al-Ka’bah, hoping to meet Abu Jahl there. He decided that If he did not find him, he would search for him everywhere till he did. As soon as he reached Al-Ka’bah he glanced at Abu Jahl sitting in the yard in the middle of the Quraishi noblemen. Hamzah advanced very calmly towards Abu Jahl and hit him with his bow on the head till it broke the skin and bled.

To everybody’s surprise, Hamzah shouted, ‘You dare to insult Muhammad while I follow his Religion and I say what he says. Come and retaliate upon me. hit me if you can.’ In a moment they all forgot how their leader Abu Jahl had been insulted and they were all thunderstruck by the news that Hamzah had converted to Muhammad’s (ﷺ) Religion and that he saw what Muhammad (ﷺ) saw and said what he said. Could Hamzah really have converted to Islam when he was the strongest and most dignified Quraishi young man?. Such was the overwhelming disaster to which the Quraish were helpless, because Hamzah’s conversation would attract others from the elite to do the same.

Thus Muhammad’s (ﷺ) call would be supported, and he would find enough solidarity that the Quraish might wake up one day to find their idols being pulled down. Indeed, Hamzah had converted, and he announced what he had kept secret in his heart for so long. Hamzah possessed a sharp sight and dear consciousness. He went home, and after he had relaxed from the day’s exhaustion he sat down to think over what had happened. He had announced it in a moment of indignation and rage. He hated to see his nephew being insulted and suffering injustice with no one to help him.

Such racial zeal for the honour of Bani Hashim’s talk had made him hit Abu Jahl on the hea and shout declaring his Islam. It didn’t took long before Umar embraced the new faith too. During the Battle of Badr, *the Lion of Allah (Hamzah)* was instrumental in the victory for the Muslims. But the Quraish would not accept the defeat easily. They started to prepare the army and to pull together all powers to avenge their Honour and their dead. They insisted to continue the war. In the Battle of Uhud, all the Quraish went to war together with their Allies from the Arabs, under the leadership of Abu Sufyaan once again.

The Quraishi leaders had targeted two persons in the new battle, namely,  The Prophet (ﷺ) and Hamzah. If one had heard them talking and plotting before the war, one would realize that Hamzah was their second main target after the Prophet (ﷺ).

Before they went to war, they had already chosen the person in charge of assassinating Hamzah: an Abyssinian slave with extra ordinary skill in spearthrowing. They planned for him to kill Hamzah, his only role being to hit him with a deadly spear. They warned him not to be busy with any other preoccupation other than Hamzah, regardless of the situation on the battlefield.

They promised him the excellent reward  of his freedom. The slave, whose name was Wahshiy, was owned by Jubair Ibn Mut’am. Jubair’s uncle had been killed in the Battle of Badr, so Jubair said to Wahshiy, ‘Go out with the army, and if you kill Hamzah you will be free.’ Afterwards, the Quraish sent Wahshiy to Hind Bint Utbah, Abu Sufyaan’s wife, to give him more encouragement to kill Hamzah, because she had lost her father, Uncle, Brother, and son and it was said that Hamzah had been behind their deaths. Them with thirsty swords. The Muslims tried to pull themselves together, picking up the weapons they had put down upon seeing the Quraish withdrawing , but the attack was too violent.

✍️...

When Hamzah saw what had happened , he doubled his strength and his activity. Hamzah was striking all around him while Wahshiy was observing him, waiting for the right moment. Wahshiy describes the scene: I was an Abyssinian man who used  to throw the spear in an Abyssinian way that scarcely misses its target. When the armies met I searched for Hamzah till I found him in the middle of the crowd like a huge Camel. He was killing everyone around  with his sword. Nothing could stop him. By Allah, I prepared for him. I wanted him. I hid behind a Tree so that I might attack him or he might come close to me.

At that moment Saba’u Ibn Abd Al-Uzzaa approached Him before me. When Hamzah glanced at him He shouted, ‘Come to me, you Son of the one who circumcises!’ and he hit him directly In the head. Then I shook my spear till I was in full control over it and  threw it. The spear penetrated him from the back and came out from between his legs. He rose to reach me but could not and soon died. I came to his body and took my spear and went back to  sit in the camp. I didn’t want anything else to do with him. I killed him only to be free. When I returned to Mecca, they set me free. I stayed there till the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) entered Mecca on the Day of the Conquest.

I fled to At-Taa’if. When the Delegation of Al-Taa’if went to declare their conversion to Islam, I heard various people say that I should go to Syria or Yemen or any other place. While I was in such distress, a man said to me, ‘Woe to you! The Prophet (ﷺ) never kills anyone ntering his religion.’ I went to Allah’s Prophet (ﷺ) In Medina, and the moment he first saw me I was already giving my true testimony. When he saw me he said, ‘Is it you, Wahshiy?’ I said, ‘Yes, Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘Tell me, how did You kill Hamzah?’ I told him, And when I finished he told me, ‘Woe to you! Get out of My sight and never show your Face to me’.

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...
