Madani seerah, They lost because of greed, They also lost because they…

- - - - One thing I want to mention is how Allah (SWT) guided these three people BEFORE the conquest of Makkah while also mentioning that “Those of you who donated and fought before the conquest are unparalleled. They are far greater in rank than those who donated and fought afterwards.” (qadhi 331) I mean this really shows that Allah (SWT) can guide whom He wills whenever He wills.
  - - - Jihad is one of the best deeds in Islam
  - - - Fath Makkah is a result of the Treaty of hudaybiyyah
      - Due to the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the Prophet was able to switch his attention to other kingdoms and cities.
      - This most importantly set a treaty between the Prophet and the Makkans and their allied tribes.
      - Someone from Banu Bakr (Quraysh side) kills someone from Banu Khuza’ah (muslim side)
      - This breaks the treaty and allows the muslims to conquer Makkah
      - An important lesson:
      - From Fath Makkah is how the Prophet treats his opponents when he has the upper hand and is at a point of victory
      - How the prophet sws conquers a land - he didn't do it like how other secular or kafir armies conquered and pillaged.
  - - - The prophet (SAW) sent a number of small expeditions to tribes near them to invite them to islam. The prophet (SAW) “sent Khalid ibn al-Walid (RA) to several tribes to invite them to Islam.” (Qadhi 362) One tribe was called Banu Jadhimah. They had history with Khalid ibn al Walid and blood was spilled. Some of them attacked him but Khalid ibn Al Walid decided to kill everybody, even those who did not want to fight him.
        
        When the prophet (SAW) heard this he said “Oh Allah, I free myself of Khalid's actions!” (qadhi 363). He (SAW) had a soft spot for tenderness and this injustice wounded him deeply. He asked the companions wasnt there any man amongst you who had mercy (and to put a stop to this)? When the companions came back they also complained about Khalid's insults at them. The prophet (SAW) got even more enraged at khalid and said that he is not anything compared to the senior companions yet.
        
        The prophet (SAW) had a soft spot for tenderness
        
        The prophet (SAW) understood the value of the senior companions
        
        The prophet (SAW) wanted to spread islam even right after the conquest of Makkah.
- - - - here was a tribe in northern Arabia that used to pirate many of the travelling caravans, so the prophet (SAW) took a group of 700 companions and just camped outside their land to make them not pirate any travelers. After they succeeded in their goal, they went back and started to go back home. On their way home, they stopped to rest during midday because of the heat. As the Prophet (SAW) was sleeping, one of the people from this tribe came and snuck up on him. The tribe member asked, “are you scared of me” (Qadhi 258) The prophet SAW) flatly responded with a no. The person was taken aback and responded “Who will protect you from me” (Qadhi 258). The prophet (SAW) said “Allah!” Then the person began to tremble in fear, dropped his sword, and then the prophet (SAW) had the upper hand. The prophet (SAW) asked if he testified that he is the messenger from Allah, and the person said yes. In the end he became a muslim.
      - Takeaway: The prophet (SAW) only feared Allah (SWT) and this was enough to scare his enemy. If the prophet fears Allah, how dare we not?
      - It is very important to fear Allah (SWT), but it is also important to love Him.
    - - Battle of khaybar
        
        The jews that were previously kicked out were not content with their new humble lifestyle, so they decided to team up with Quraysh and banu nadir. Banu Nadir even got extra reinforcements from neighboring tribes, and they all teamed up to conquer medina. “Ibn Ishaq estimates around 10,000 fighting men – over four times the available muslim fighters.” (qadhi 277)
        
        They decided to build a long and wide trench (credits to salman al farisi) but this was not an easy task. They only had 10 days to do it. And they needed all the help that they could get. They were all starving and resorting to eating barely with oil or even date pits. Jabir (RA) saw the prophet (SAW) tying a rock around him (to deal with his hunger) and Jabir could not handle the sight. He asked his wife for food and she said they only had some dough and a small baby goat. He told the prophet (SAW) intending for just him and maybe a couple more companions to come, but the prophet (SAW) invited everybody. “Each group of ten ate their fill, one after another, until every single person was sufficed”. (Qadhi 278) How did the prophet (SAW) manage to do this? He asked Jabir's wife not to open the pot and when he came, he gently spat into it.
        
        Not only that but there was also danger from within medina. The Banu Qurayzah had reneged their treaty and were preparing to attack the muslims, now people from outside came to attack and people from inside were going to attack. But the thing is, in preparations for this battle, they had left their wife and children in their bases. “ Many companions described that night as the worst night of their lives.” (qadhi 281)
        
        The prophet (SAW) had so many enemies, just preaching the truth. How was he able to find comfort? He sought comfort in Allah (SWT) “ those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find comfort.”
        
        The Sahabah went through so many trials and tribulations, yet they stick to their deen. After one mis-hap we always ask ourselves “why us”. We should understand that it's just a test and to keep patient
        
        Not only did they have trouble from outside, but inside also. How were the sahabah able to stay so calm? I don't know. But i do know that they had trust in Allah (SWT)
  - - - The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was signed in 628 CE between Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the Quraysh, is a key moment in Islamic history that shows the importance of patience, diplomacy, and thinking ahead. The Muslims wanted to perform Umrah (a pilgrimage) in Mecca, but the Quraysh, who were against Islam, stopped them. Instead of fighting, the Prophet agreed to a treaty that seemed unfair at first. “Umar could not contain himself” (qadhi 308) It included a 10-year truce and delayed the pilgrimage. However, this treaty turned out to be a huge win for the Muslims. The peace allowed Islam to spread, and the Muslim community grew stronger. The treaty also showed how compromise and patience can lead to bigger successes in the future.
      - The treaty teaches us that being patient and thinking long-term is better than rushing into action. Sometimes, waiting and planning can lead to greater success.
      - Instead of fighting, the Prophet chose to negotiate, showing that peaceful solutions can work even in tough situations.
        
        What seemed like a loss at first turned into a big victory. This reminds us that challenges can sometimes lead to better outcomes in ways we don’t expect. The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah eventually helped the Muslims gain strength and paved the way for the peaceful conquest of Mecca.
- - - - The Prophet's mosque was built using tree stumps, palm leaves, and dirt.
        
        The mosque remained in its simple and humble state until the time of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). Since then, it has been gradually developed, eventually becoming the grand mosque we see today.
        
        the end of year 1 hijra is here
        
        codifying acts of worship
        
        The Prophet (peace be upon him) established a free market and implemented regulations to ensure fairness and justice, as a wise and responsible leader should.
        
        The first five pillars were established, except for Hajj, which came later. The rules for purifying the body, such as wudu, istinja, and ghusl, were also revealed during this time.
        
        The first obligatory fast was on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura). Later, this became a sunnah fast, and fasting during Ramadan was established as fard (obligatory).
      - the building of the masjid of the propeht
    - - The story of deciding where to build Masjid An-Nabawi goes like this: The Prophet (peace be upon him) let his camel walk freely through Madinah until it stopped at an empty plot of land and rested. The Prophet then asked who the land belonged to, and it turned out to be owned by two orphans. He paid them double its value, and the construction of the mosque and the Prophet’s house began.
        
        A major lesson we can learn from the Prophet's mosque is that, despite its simple and humble architecture, he was able to build a strong and united Ummah from it.
        
        The land on which the mosque was built originally belonged to orphans.
        
        knowing this the pophet paid the orphans double waht the land
        was worth
        
        the lesson we can take from this is, how can you assume your
        community will grow if you are not investing back into it
  - - - When they arrived at Quba, the people initially thought Abu Bakr was the Prophet. However, when the sun shone on the Prophet's face, Abu Bakr got up and shaded him, and that’s when everyone realized who the Prophet was.
        
        During the Hijra, they encountered highway robbers, whom the Prophet later guided to accept Islam.
        
        When the Prophet finally arrived in Medina, he returned all the prized possessions entrusted to him, as he was known as the most trustworthy among them.
        
        Some things
        
        The Prophet's method of delivering the khutbah was to keep the speech short and extend the prayer. It was common for him to recite Surah Qaf during Friday sermons.
        
        The tribes of Madinah included the Aws, Khazraj, Qaynuqa, Banu Nadir, and Banu Qurayzah.
        
        The Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived in Madinah right after a civil war, which was ideal since the people were seeking a single leader to unify and govern them.
      - During the Hijra, the Prophet told the Sahaba to wait at Quba, a settlement just outside of Medina.
- - - - The Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud are considered "sister" battles because they taught complementary lessons about the meaning and commitment to La ilaha illallah (There is no deity but Allah).
      - The leader of Banu Qaynuqa openly disrespected the Prophet (peace be upon him) by saying that if the Muslims had fought the Jews instead, the Jews would have defeated them.
  - - - Hamzah (RA) passed away
- - - - The prophet (SAW) wanted to give dawah to a famous chieftain of a big city. the chieftain said he would consider it. Because of this the prophet (SAW) sent around 70 Ahl us sufah, or some of the best sahabah to go give dawah to him, however he only wanted world benefit in order to accept Islam and the prophet declined his offer, when the 70 ahl us sufah got to his place, he killed all of them. bear in mind that this was extremely taboo, he killed messengers. and this was a very heavy blow because he (SAW) lost the creme of the crop.
    - - The tribe of hudayl pretended to accept islam and then begged to send over companoiuns to teach them about islam, how ever once the 10 learned compaonouns got there, they were instantly killed (both these incidents were given the name of wells) There were 3 survivors and they all still died horrible deaths
    - - The prophet (SAW) was there to collect some blood money with ABu bakr and Umar (RA). They were greeted with smiles, however, they were plotting to kill them with a big rock. So, the prophet (SAW) left as he got this informatino form jibril (AS) This marked the end of their treaty , as this was not their first offence and it was the straw that broke the camels back
