Jazakallah khair for your beautiful dua
Allahumma baarik....

Achieving true happiness in front of Allah isn't about material wealth, success, or status. It boils down to one fundamental principle: sincere belief in Allah.

The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah serves as a powerful illustration of this truth. Although it appeared to be a setback for the Muslims at the time, it was a profound test of their faith in Allah. Accepting what seemed like an unfavorable agreement was a demonstration of their unwavering trust in Allah's wisdom and plan.

This unwavering belief in Allah is the key to eternal happiness and success. The Muslims of Madinah underwent a significant spiritual training through this experience, strengthening their faith and reliance on Allah despite the apparent challenges they faced.

This level of steadfast belief is what guarantees Muslims a place in Jannah . It is a belief that is unconditional and unwavering, rooted in absolute trust in Allah's guidance and decree.

JazakAllah

Your reflection on achieving true happiness through sincere belief in Allah, as demonstrated  by the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, is both profound and enlightening.

The spiritual growth and resilience displayed by the Muslims of Madinah through this experience highlight the transformative power of unwavering belief in Allah. May we all strive to cultivate such steadfast faith and trust in Allah, knowing that it is the key to attaining eternal happiness and success. Thank you for sharing this profound reflection with the community.

🐪AL FATH SERIES ~ The Victory🐪

Al Fath : 1 - 8
Hudaibiyyah ~ The Story of Allegiance & Divine Rewards

Surah Al Isra' establishes the connection between Masjidil Haram and Masjidil Aqsa. The Surah alludes to the close relationship between the 2 mosques; how the circumstance of one affects the other throughout time. There is a subtle indication that the strategies that were used to liberate Al Haraam Makkah may be the answer liberate Al Aqsa.

Surah al Fath gives Rasulullah SAW and His Companions RA an assurance that Victory was near.

The Treaty of Hudaibiyyah was a 'ceasefire' between Makkah and Madinah. Rasulullah SAW had a dream of performing Umrah and took it as an instruction from Allah SWT  even though the elites of Makkah were still hostile to the Muslims. On their way to Makkah, the Muslims were intercepted and through one of the terms of the Treaty was that the Muslims were barred entry into Makkah that year. This made the Muslims frustrated and angry. The prohibition to enter Masjidil Haram 1400 years ago mirrors the imposition of the limited travel to Al Aqsa today. The Treaty of Hudaibiyyah is similar to the terms of the ceasefire today; unbalanced and biasedly favoured the Makkans in Hudaibiyyah like the present ceasefire agreement tilts towards the Zionist regime. As Allah Wiiled, therein lies the story of absolute loyalty and total commitment of The Companions RA to the mission of Rasulullah SAW.

🎯Ayat 1
The Companions RA saw a  loss in the Treaty but Allah SWT called it 'a Clear Victory'. Clear Victory is in reference to Bai'atul Ridhwan; the Oath of Allegiance by the Companions RA to Rasulullah SAW. Hudaibiyyah was the catalyst to this bond and it brought about a series of events that eventually led to the Opening of Makkah. Hudaibiyyah is a lesson in patience in the face of loss. 
Clear Victory is also in reference to the spread of the Quran throughout Arabia brought by a term in the Treaty that demanded a 10-year 'ceasefire' between Makkah and Madinah. The peace that ensued allowed da'wah to spread throughout Arabia. 'Fathan mubina' is also in reference to the opening of hearts to the Words of Allah SWT in the land of Arabia. Similarly, despite the cynicism and criticisms, the international activists who sailed the flotillas had a tremendous effect on global opinion on Palestine and swayed many nations to recognize the state of Palestine. Allahu Akbar!

🎯Ayat 2
Hudaibiyyah accelerated the mission of Rasulullah SAW by leaps and bounds. SubhanAllah! Rasulullah SAW was given 4 'Gifts' from Allah SWT for staying firm despite being challenged in Hudaibiyyah : 
✅Forgiveness from Allah SWT.
✅ Completing of Allah's SWT favours. With the coming liberation of Makkah, the Muslims will be able to perform the Hajj freely.Thus, completing the 5 Pillars of Islam.

🎯Ayat 3
✅Divine help in future battles. After the opening of Makkah; the battles of Yarmuk, Qadisiyyah and Mu'tah saw the Persians and the Romans defeated. These victories allowed for the liberation of Al Aqsa during the caliphate of 'Umar Al Khattab RA. We learn that Allah's SWT forgiveness leads to victory. To liberate Al Aqsa, we need to seek Allah's forgiveness both as individuals and collectively as an Ummah.

🎯Ayat 4
At Hudaibiyyah, the Muslims had to swallow their anger and frustration for having to turn back and Allah SWT rewarded them. Just like the Muslim Commander, Rasulullah SAW, his Companions RA were given 4 Promises, too:
✅Sakinah; tranquility in their hearts to obey Rasulullah SAW in all circumstances. We can see the same resilience and patience in the Palestinians. 

🎯Ayat 5
✅Gift of Iman. They are able to wrestle and overcome their strong negative emotions and to bow in obedience.
✅Gift of Jannah to the 1400+ Companions RA for their total commitment to Rasulullah SAW. They were denied entry into Masjidil Haram but Allah SWT replaces that with a promise of their Entry into Jannah. SubhanAllah! 
✅Forgiveness. The sequence with the mention of forgiveness first is divinely purposeful to calm the high emotions that the Companions RA were feeling. Also, to emphasize Allah's SWT Pleasure with them. 'Mu'minat' is in reference to the special role Ummu Salamah RA played in her gentle suggestion for Rasulullah SAW to end his state of ihram so that the Companions RA will have no other choice but to follow suit. This displays he innate gentle nature of females which is important to avert confrontation and wars just like Aasiyyah the wife of Firaun who asked Firaun to spare Musa AS and Queen of Sheba, Queen Balqis who vetoed her cabinet ministers who were eager to go to war against Sulaiman AS. 

🎯Ayat 6
As there are the peace-loving people throughout generations, there will also  be war- mongers; propagating war and destruction. They can be from the males as well as the females. This ayat relives the atmosphere of Madinah as Rasulullah SAW and his Companions RA return to the city from Hudaibiyyah. The munafiqin were hoping that the 1400+ congregation would be wiped out by the musyrikin Makkans. Here Allah SWT promised 4 Punishment for them :- 
🔥Azab in this world
🔥His Wrath 
🔥His Curse
 🔥Jahannam. 
Na'udzibillaah! By archiving this historical reality in the Quran, Allah SWT is telling us to not grieve over the inaction of certain Muslim leadership. We have to continue to think well of Allah SWT and that His Plans are the Best of Plans. All we need to do is to keep making du'a; keep protesting; boycotting and speaking up against all injustice and to leave the outcome to Allah SWT.

🎯Ayat 7
'Junud' in ayat 4 refers to Allah's SWT army of angels who bring peace and also to His army that bring painful punishment and torment. When we see mutilated bodies, death and torture we cannot lose hope. We cannot be overwhelmed by the military superiority of our enemies. We have to 'see' with the eyes of yaqeen the Unseen Army of Allah SWT. We hold to Allah's Complete Might (Aziizan) and Absolute Justice (Hakiiman).

🎯Ayat 8
In the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah, reference of 'Muhammad Rasul of Allah' was disallowed. In this ayat, Allah SWT reestablished his SAW honour. His mission of da'wah will spread far and wide in letters bearing his name 'Muhammad Rasulullah' SAW to leaders around Arabia and beyond.
Another lesson of Hudaibiyyah is to make the best of whatever platforms we are given now to reap future long-term benefits. Use your social media platform to share Palestinian content; engage with the Palestinians to show them that they are not alone.
'Shahiidan' is the vision presented to Rasulullah SAW in his dream while 'bashiiran' and 'naziiran' refers to his continuing  mission of spreading the da'wah. Clarity in purpose directed by a disciplined focus on the divine revelation of the Commander In Chief, Rasulullah SAW, led to the liberating of Makkah. By their patience, resilience and absolute loyalty to divine instructions, the Companions RA overcame the challenges of Hudaibiyyah. Similarly, both the generous and gracious actions of the Resistance army and the patience and resilience of the Gazans has led  to many nations recognizing Palestine and many from around the world have embraced Islam.
Allahu Akbar!

#ALFATH #GAZA

The month of Dh-ul-Hijjah is around the corner, I was reciting Surah Al-Fath and realized that my reading of this chapter at this time was not mere coincidence. I felt compelled to ponder the significance of this surah, and as I delved deeper, I understood that the prayer of Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام) was a pivotal moment in the mission of our  Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The journey of Hajj was not just an annual ritual for the Prophetﷺ, but an integral part of his prophetic mission. The success of Hudaybiyah marked the culmination of his mission, and Allah assured him that his journey was now nearing its end. Today, we embark on our Hajj journey that spans mere hours, days, or months, but the Prophet's road to Hajj was a lifelong endeavor, replete with challenges (migration, economic boycott, wars, martyrdoms) that heﷺ and his companions endured with unwavering resolve and fortitude. Their journey had several milestones, with the Treaty of Hudaybiyah being the final one, after which the travelers felt a sense of relief and Allah's reassurance. 
Today, those embarking on this journey have had the path made easier by the Prophet'sﷺ own journey, which has facilitated the way to the House of Allah for all Muslims until the end of time. What a profound favor this is upon us, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ  has opened the doors of this obligation for us, and what a great blessing that Allah SWT did not make Hajj obligatory until the Prophet's mission was complete, lest we face the same hardships and bloodshed that the Quraysh would have inflicted upon us. Instead, Allah granted the Muslims economic stability, then political power (through the Treaty of Hudaybiyah), and finally, through His Prophet, made the path to His House easy for us, making Hajj an obligation.

The prophetic mission entrusted to Allah's final Messenger ﷺ has become a perennial source of spiritual nourishment and faith preservation for all Muslims until the end of time. Had the Prophet's mission not been the liberation of the Ka'aba from the shackles of idolatry, we would not have recognized its profound significance today. The very existence of the Prophet was itself  a boundless blessing from Allah to humanity, and Allah chose his mission to be commemorated until the end of time,  His mission has been transformed into a means of  spiritual nourishment and existential guidance for us by Allah's divine grace. As we stand today in the sacred courtyard of the Kaaba, we are deeply indebted to the Prophet'sﷺ benevolence, magnanimity, and unwavering dedication to the divine cause.

May Allah allow us to revive the soul of the Prophet's mission in our lives and liberate our heart (House of Allah) from the idols of whims and satanic whispers. Ameen
