Though militarily it did not assume its full dimension, the Bani Al-Mustaliq (Muraisi‘) Ghazwah had certain implications that brought about a state of turbulence within the Islamic State, and resulted in disgracefulness to the hypocrites. Moreover, it entailed enactment of consolidating legislation that attached an impression of nobility,dignity and purity of Islam to the Islamic community.

Abdullah bin Ubai, a terrible hypocrite was full of resentment against Islam and the Muslims because he believed that the Prophet (ﷺ) had dispossessed him of his leadership over Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj, two clans already agreed on the Prophethood of Muhammad (ﷺ) and his leadership over them.

The response of the Prophet (ﷺ)to the betrayal of Banu Qurayza is mistakenly talked about as an incident where the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) acted brutally and Islam is mistakenly referred to as a religion of war and barbarism.

The speaker uncovers the truth and exposes the reality of the incident in light of the authentic historical sources and detailed analysis of the events.

Furthermore, the speaker clearly outlines the treatment of non-Muslims living under Islamic rule.

The loyalty of Muslims is constantly in the spotlight. This brings to the forefront the importance of understanding the notion of Al-Wala Wal-Bara for both the Muslims and those seeking and expecting the loyalty from Muslims.

Oftentimes, words and phrases are used without comprehensively understanding what they mean.

"Systemic Racism"

What is it?

What does it mean?

What is the solution?

Seerah 34 The Battle of the Trench (Ahzab) and the events leading to the Battle

Once again, peace and security enveloped the Arabian Peninsula and this turbulent area began to experience a period of lull after a whole year war. The Jews, however, whose treachery, intrigues and disloyalty made them taste all types of humiliation and disgrace, were not admonished. After they had been exiled to Khaibar, they remained waiting anxiously for the results of the skirmishes going on between the Muslims and the idolaters.

The Jewish delegation then started a fresh effort and toured some parts of Arabia and managed to incite the confederates of disbelief against the Prophet (ﷺ), his Message and the believers.

 

The Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) summoned a high advisory board and conducted a careful discussion of a plan to defend Madinah.  After a lengthy talk between military leaders and people possessed of sound advice, it was agreed, on the proposal of an honorable Companion, Salman Al-Farsi, to dig trenches as defensive lines. The Muslims, with the Prophet (ﷺ) (encouraging, helping and reminding them of the reward in the Hereafter, Peace be upon him) at their head, most actively and diligently started to build a trench around Madinah. Severe hunger, bordering on starvation, could not dissuade or discourage them from achieving their desperately sought objective.

 

On attempting to attack the Muslims and break into Madinah, the idolaters were surprised to see a wide trench, a new stratagem unknown in Arabia before, standing as an obstinate obstruction. Consequently they decided to lay siege to Madinah and began to maneuver around the trench trying hard to find a vulnerable spot through which they could infiltrate into Madinah.

Several lessons can be taken form this incident as the speaker looks into the hardships that Muslims around the world face.

In the aftermath of the battle of Uhud, the hypocrites disclosed their real intentions in words and in deeds, consequently, the Muslims got to realize the existence of those wicked elements working

secretly in their own homeland; and of course there would be appropriate measures to be taken in due course of time.

The speaker discusses the tragedy of Ma'una well, Bani An-Nadeer invasion, and the invasion of Najd.

A profound explanation of the ayah Ayat La Ikraha fid Deen (There is No Compulsion in Religion 2-256) is provided and how it should be understood.

An excellent explanation and solution for Racial Genocide persistent in the United States and the World in light of the murder of African American George Floyd.

We continue as the Battle of Uhud rages on with the martyrdom of Mus‘ab ibn Umair(RA).

When Mus'ab was killed, the Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) delivered the standard (Raya) to ‘Ali bin Abi Talib.

‘Ali, in conjunction with the other Companions, went on fighting bravely and set marvelous examples of heroism, courage and endurance in both defense and attack.

Hostilities of the enemy grew fiercer than ever with the aim of foiling the plan of withdrawal of the Muslims. Their attempts however proved to be fruitless due to the heroic steadfastness of the lions of Islam

In a regular withdrawal and with great bravery and boldness, the Muslims finally retreated to the cover of Mountain Uhud. Then, the rest of the army followed them to that safe position. In this manner, the genius of Muhammad (ﷺ) foiled that of Khalid bin Al-Waleed.

There were about seventy Sahabah that were martyred in the battle.  The speaker provides commentary on a critical point about the power and unity of Islam as he notes that some the Sahabah that lay dead next to each other fighting in the cause of Allah(سبحانه وتعالى) were once enemies of each other due to their tribal affiliations (i.e. Aws and Khazraj).  Islam united them in brotherhood.

Using this this example of unity, the speaker examines the recent tragic incident of the killing of the African-American George Floyd by police.  The speaker discusses not only this incident, but also highlights the underlying injustice due to racial / ethnic / religious differences that run rampant in the world and provides the only solution for this grave problem.
