Khalid ibn al-Walid Part-1 | The Sword of Allah
Life story of Khalid ibn al-Walid and How he is introduced to Islam.
That traveler was going alone in the desert of Arabia. In the era of 8 Hijri, the region of Arabia where Mecca and Medina are located used to be a very terrible desert, burning and scorching people. Ka Tha travelers used to travel in caravans, but this traveler was going alone, he was riding on a war horse of the Ala breed, his part was tied to the saddle of the horse, a sword was hanging from his waist and his He was holding a book in his hand. In those days, men were tall, broad-chested and muscular. This lone traveler was also one of those men, but the way he was sitting on the horse’s belly showed that he was a rider.
He was not an ordinary man, there was not even the slightest expression of fear on his face that the Rahzans would rob him, rob him of such a well-bred horse and he would have to travel on foot, but the expression on his face was not natural. He was thinking about something, he was entertaining with memories or he was trying to bury some memories in his mind. There was a valley in front of him.
The horse continued to climb. It went to a great height and fell to the ground. The rider stopped the horse and turned it around. Standing on the stirrups and looking back, he saw Makkah, Makkah had gone under the horizon, as the voice told him, Abu Salman, don’t look back now, put Makkah out of your mind, you are men of the field, don’t let yourself be cut in two Stick to your decision, your destination is Madinah.He turned his eyes away from the direction of Makkah, turned the horse towards Madinah, and gave the garden a light shake. The horse understood the signs of its rider. He looked younger than his age. His son’s name was Salman. His father’s name was Al-Waleed. But Sawar preferred to be called Abu Salman instead of Khalid bin Waleed.
He did not know the history of Sawar. He remembered it as Khalid bin Waleed. will keep and this name will become another name of the scree traditions and spirit of Islam, but at the age of forty-three when Khalid was going to Medina, he was not a Muslim at that time, except for small skirmishes, he fought two major wars against the Muslims. Uhud and the Battle of the Trench had already been fought when the first revelation was revealed to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the 610th year of Sinwar. At that time, Khalid bin Waleed was twenty-four years old. Banu Makhzoom was one of the most respected families of Quraish. The chieftains of Quraish were entrusted to this family. Rejecting this status, Khalid Abu Salman was going to Madinah. Sometimes he felt as if a force was pulling him back from within himself.
When he felt the effect of this force, his neck would turn back, but his A voice came from his own self. Look ahead, Khalid is Waleed’s son, but he is dead. Now you are Salman’s father.He is alive. Two names stuck in his mind: Muhammad, peace be upon him, who brought a new religion. And Al-Walid, who was Khalid’s father and a great enemy of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his new religion, father had handed over this enmity to Khalid as an inheritance and left the world. You are the oneHe had changed. Khalid looked around and saw palm trees in a circular circle.
The horse was going this way and entered the oasis. Khalid jumped from the horse. Khalid bin Balaid drank water from this spring which was only for human use. It was a small forest. Khalid saddled his horse. Atari and Zain opened a small door and laid down under the thicket of trees and lay down. He remembered a day seven years ago when his loved ones had planned to kill Muhammad, and Khalid’s father, Al-Walid, was at the forefront of this plan. It was a night in September 622 AD. The Quraysh had chosen men disguised as humans and beasts to kill the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, while he was sleeping. He was a participant in the conspiracy to kill the Prophet, but he was not among those who went to kill him. He remembered that night seven years ago like yesterday.
He was both happy and not happy about the murder. Because a man of their own tribe had called their religion false and called himself a prophet of God, it was natural to be happy at the killing of such an enemy, and they were not happy because They were convinced to challenge their enemy to fight in front of the public, they never thought of killing the sleeping enemy, however, they did not oppose this plot, but on the night of the murder, when the murderer killed the Prophet at the appointed time When he went to do it, the house of the Holy Prophet was empty, there were no household goods, neither was the horse of the Prophet, nor the camel. The call to religion has been killed, but in the morning they were looking at each other in despair, then they started asking each other in whispers, where did Muhammad go? The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, had become aware of the plot to kill him and migrated to Yasirb long before the time of his murder. Sixteen years went away one evening in 613 A.D.
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) invited some of the leading members of the Quraish to dine with him. The gift that I am going to present to you cannot be presented by any other Arab person because Allah has chosen me and Allah has ordered me to call you to a religion that will make your world and your destiny comfortable. And will make him happy. In this way, three years after the revelation of the first revelation, the Messenger of God invited his close relatives to accept Islam. Khalid bin Waleed was not in this gathering. His father was invited. was told jokingly that the grandson of Abdul Muttalib, Muhammad (peace be upon him).The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has said that he is a prophet sent by Allah.
We know that Abdul Muttalib was a leader of Quraish. By Allah, the status of my family is not lower than anyone else’s. Khalid bin Waleed asked what did you say to him. Father Al-Waleed said, “At first we were silent, then we were silent.” We laughed, but Muhammad’s cousin Ali accepted Muhammad’s prophethood. Khalid bin Waleed did not forget his father’s mocking laugh. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam lived whose prophethood was not accepted by the leaders of Quraysh, but the people continued to accept this prophethood, the majority of whom were young people, and some poor people also accepted Islam. It was known in the spirit of Allah and he accelerated the propagation of Islam.
