THE CONQUEST OF MAKKAH-20TH RAMADAAN
THE CONQUEST OF MAKKAH-20TH RAMADAAN
After having entered the city, the
Holy Prophet ﷺoffered prayer of thanks in the
Masjid-ul-Haraam to the Almighty Allaah Who, out of His immense grace, had granted
him a most splendid and most peaceful victory over a cruel enemy.
GENERAL FORGIVENESS:
None could be more anxious to avoid bloodshed
than Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He, therefore, proclaimed amnesty to the people who had
persecuted and tortured him and his followers and had even made several
attempts on his life. But he is the Rahmat-ul-lil Aalameen. The Blessing unto
the worlds, and even his deadliest enemies were to be forgiven.
"There shall no retaliation
against you this day,"
He also declared. He asked Aboo Sufiyaan, once his
arch enemy to proclaim: "he who takes refuge in the house of Aboo Sufyaan
is safe: whoso closes the door of his house, the inmates thereof shall be in
safety, and he who enters the Sacred Mosque of the Ka-'abah is safe."
It was in this spirit of clemency that the Holy
Prophet ﷺwas to enter the city of Makaah.
THE
KA'BAA IS PURIFIED:
The Holy Prophet ﷺin
unison remembrance of Allaah Al Kareem got up and proceeded towards Ka'baa,
the Sacred House. It was to be cleaned and made for ever an emblem of the
oneness and Supremacy of Allaah Al Kareem as well as the unity of Muslims. It
was unfortunately occupied with 360 idols. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ knocked them down with the help of Hazrat Ali [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] and recited
the verse of the Holy Quraan:
"Please declare, the Truth has come and
falsehood has vanished. Surely falsehood is ever-vanishing". (Al-Quraan -)
BROTHERHOOD OF MANKIND.
The Holy Prophet also imprinted upon the minds
of the people the pragmatic value of this fundamental principle of Islaam,
i.e., Divine Unity and human integrity. There is no distinction between
man and man. All are equal, because they are descendants of the same parents.
Superiority of one over another in this vast "brotherhood does not depend
on nationality, wealth or rank but on one's piety, straightforwardness,
sincerity and conscious adherence to the command of Allaah Al Kareem in the
Holy Quraan.
Praying in Kabaa direction is a symbolic act of
unity for the Muslim nation epitomizing the essence of Islaam- worshiping the One and only God.
