Khalid ibn al-Walid Part-2 | The Sword of Allah
Life story of Khalid ibn al-Walid and How he is introduced to Islam.
Earlier, the Arabs believed in one God and used to ask these idols, they called them goddesses and gods, and they considered them sons and daughters of Allah. They used to swear by Allah in everything.
.
Khalid bin Waleed remembered that he had killed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the streets. And he saw people gathering in the markets and inviting them to accept Islam and telling them that idols can neither benefit them nor harm them. Only Allah is worthy of worship and He is the One and the only and the leader of the opposition to the Messenger of God (peace be upon him).
There were four chiefs of Quraysh, one was Khalid’s father Al-Walid, the second was the Prophet’s own uncle, the second was Abu Lahab, the third was Abu Sufyan, and the fourth was Abu Lahkam, who was the cousin of Khalid bin Walid. What the person had done was blasphemous to the point of ignorance and he was a Muslim, so the Muslims started calling him Abu Jahl.
This name became so common that people forgot his real name. The man is remembered only by the name of Abu Jahl. Khalid bin Waleed began to worry about these memories. Perhaps it was a shame. The people of Quraysh had thrown garbage many times in the house of the Messenger of God, where a Muslim was preaching Islam. When the men of Quraysh arrived there, the disrespectful and disrespectful men were put to work harassing the Messenger of God.
He did not do any such despicable act against the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He took three or four Quraysh chiefs with him twice and went to Abu Talib, the uncle of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to ask him to stop his nephew from insulting idols and claiming prophethood.Abu Talib avoided these people both times. Khalid remembered his father’s great sacrifice.
Amara was Khalid’s brother.He was a particularly handsome young man, he was intelligent and had a youthful appearance. Khalid’s father, Al-Waleed, handed over his handsome son Amara to two Quraysh chieftains and told them to take him to Abu Talib, Muhammad’s uncle, and from him. Say that they should keep my son and give us Muhammad instead of him. Khalid trembled at this decision of his father. He placed Amara in front of the Prophet’s uncle and said, Abu Talib, you know her, this is Amara bin Al-Waleed.
We have come to hand him over to you forever. We have come to hand him over to you forever. If you keep him as your son, then he will be the bearer of your life for the rest of your life. Abu Talib asked, "But why are you handing him over to me? Have the mothers of Banu Makhzoom started auctioning off their sons? Tell me, how much do you want for him?" This nephew of yours has become the cause of your disgrace, he has rejected the religion of your forefathers and made a new religion. What are you going to do by taking away your nephew? The second chief of Farish replied, "We will kill Muhammad. It will not be unfair. You see that we are giving you our son in exchange for your nephew." It will be justice. You will kill my nephew and I will raise your son and spend on him and give him a very good life.
He saw his brother returning with his chiefs and heard from the chiefs that Abu Talib did not accept this offer, so Khalid bin Waleed was very happy. Abu Sulaiman shook his head in his thoughts and said in his heart, "Nothing. Indeed, Muhammad’s body is strong, but physical strength alone is not enough to pick up and beat a wrestler like Ruqana bin Abd Jazeed. Ruqana bin Abdul Jazeed." There was an uncle of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) who did not accept Islam. He was an Arab.
He was a wrestler. started to remember the time when three or four men who were tying the Muslims one day fed the Rakana Pahlwan well and told him that your nephew Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) does not fall into the hands of anyone nor stop his preaching nor does anyone He is afraid of and people are falling under the spell of his words, can’t you straighten him up? Bring him against me, but he will run away from Makkah when he hears my name.
No, I consider it an insult to fight with him.He did not understand that the enemies of the Muslims became silent, but they kept thinking that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, should be made a mockery of him by killing him. They did not come openly to the field, they were happy that the people of Quraysh had divided and became enemies of each other. But he didn’t believe it. One day Rakana was passing through a street at night when a beautiful and young girl passed by her.
In the moonlit night, the girl recognized Rakana and smiled. Rakana was a savage. He stopped and He stopped the girl and asked, "Do you know what it means when a woman smiles at a man? Who are you?" The young girl replied, "It means that a woman wants that man." I am Sabbat, the daughter of Arman, Rukana said, Oh Arman, the daughter of the Jew and placed her hand on the girl’s chest and pulled her close to her. You are afraid of your nephew Muhammad. Rakana asked, "Who says Sabbat?" He said, "They all say, kill Muhammad first. I will give you my body as a reward." will come before you, but you have heard wrongly that I am afraid of Muhammad, the point is that I consider it an insult to fight with someone weaker than me, but I will fulfill your promise.
The famous historian Ibn Hisham has written that the Holy Prophet Rasulullah himself was challenging the wrestler to wrestle, but another historian, Ibn al-Asir, has presented the testimony that Rukana challenged Muhammad to wrestle and he said, son of my brother, you You are a man with a big heart and a big heart.
I also know that you hate to tell lies, but the truth of a man can be seen in Akhara. Come, compete with me in Akhara. I will accept the Prophet, I swear by Allah, I will accept your religion, the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said in response to Rakana’s challenge, but this will not be a battle between a nephew and an uncle. If you go, don’t forget your promise.
The news spread like wildfire in Makkah that the Rakana would be a wrestler and Muhammad (peace be upon him) would wrestle and whoever lost would accept the religion of the winner. The Jews came in crowds, the Muslims were very few in number, they came armed with swords and spears because they felt threatened that the Quraysh would use the boat as an excuse to kill the Messenger of God, the most powerful of the Arabs. And the savage wrestler Rukana bin Abd Jazeed came to compete with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Keep watching so that he does not make any claims in ignorance.
The Messenger of God (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was joking, the Muslims were silent, they were remembering Allah in their hearts, they were keeping their hands on the hilts of their swords, then they did not know what happened. Ibn al-Asir says that he, peace be upon him, picked up the ruqana and smashed it on the ground.
The crowd was shocked and the Muslims were waving bare swords and javelins in the air and shouting slogans. So the Muslim Raqana flatly refused to accept Islam and said that this power was not physical. Khalid bin Waleed said to himself while lying in the oasis, to hit Raqana three times like this is a far-fetched thing.
The concept of Allah (peace be upon him) came to Khalid’s mind. He knew him (peace be upon him) well, but now he felt as if he was someone else, Muhammad (peace be upon him), whom he had known since childhood. Khalid did not recognize him, peace be upon him. After the claim of prophethood, Khalid bin Waleed stopped speaking with him.
He wanted to shake hands with him, but he refused. They were not fighters, they were warriors who fought in the battlefield and led the fighters, but at that time the Muslims were not able to fight in the form of Fuchs.
