The Sealed Nectar

 The Sealed Nectar by Shaykh Safi ur-Rahman

Concerning the leniency of the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him) with his Ummah, Anas ibn Malik(may Allah be pleased with them)reported: "While we were in the masjid with the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him), a Bedouin came in and urinated in the masjid. The companions exclaimed, "Stop, stop!" But the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him) said, "Leave him and do not interrupt him." So, they left him until he finished.

In Shawwal of the fifth year, according to the more correct of two statements, the battle of al-Ahzaab, also known as the battle of al-Khandaq, took place. The background of this battle was that the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah upon him) had evicted the Jews of Bani an-Nadheer from Madinah the previous year due to their attempt to assassinate him. So, a group of their nobles went to Makkah and incited the Quraysh to fight the Messenger of Allah(Peace and blessings of Allah upon him), promising to assist them against him.

Muhammad, the inspired man who founded Islam, was born about A.D. 570 into an Arabian tribe that worshiped idols. Orphaned at birth, he was always particularly solicitous of the poor and needy, the widow and orphan, the slave and the downtrodden. At twenty he was already a successful businessman, and soon became director of camel caravans for a wealthy widow. When he reached twenty-five his employer, recognizing his merit, proposed marriage.

There are numerous recorded instances of the love of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for children. In his book, ‘Muhammad: Prophet and Statesman’, the Orientalist W. Montgomery Watt writes (page 229):

Although Muslims do not actually celebrate the Muslim new year in the way other people celebrate their respective new year, the first day of the lunar month of Muharram is a legal holiday in many Muslim countries.

The Islamic calendar is counted from the year of Prophet Muhammad’s flight from Makkah to Madinah in September 622 CE, known as the Hijrah (or hegira in English from Latin from Arabic). This journey is one of the most important events in Islamic history.

  The Prophet Muhammad made many treaties with the local tribes and the chiefs of states the surrounding the Arabian Peninsula and very strictly adhered to the terms of his treaties. When once he entered into any with anyone he was never first to break the treaty. This was one of the cardinal principles of his policy. He always honored his promises and pacts with other people and advised his followers to do the same. He always enjoined upon his commanders not to break their trust. The Qur'an commands:

The news about the Prophets (peace be upon him) departure from Makkah had already spread fast. Eagerly expecting his arrival, the Ansaars used to go out after morning prayers to the outskirts of the city and await his arrival until there was no more shade and the sun became unbearable. Then, as it was the hot season, they returned to their homes, sad and disappointed.

  FUGITIVES OF THAQIF

The warriors of Thaqif who fled from Hunayn returned to Taif. They closed the gates of the city after storing stocks of food enough to serve them for a year. Thus, they prepared themselves in time for another encounter with the Muslims.
