LIFE OF THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD

(S.A.W)
INTRODUCTION:
Our Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was born in Makkah in the famous tribe of Quraish. His
father, Abdullah died before his birth. So his mother, Bibi Amna looked after him. But she also
died when he was only six years old. New his Grand Father, Abdul Muttalib took charge of him,
but he did not livre long. Finally, his uncle, Abu Talib looked after him and never left him alone
in any hardship.

dream that he, along with his blessed companions, entered Makkah with peace and

prosperity and performed Umrah. Some of them shaved their heads while others had

their hair cut. They entered Baytullah and took its key. Furthermore, they stayed in (the

ground of) Arafat. (Seerat-e-Halbiyah).

along with his 1400 blessed companions. They had to stay at Hudaibiyah. Unbelievers

prevented them from entering Makkah. It was there that this treaty was drawn up

which came to be known as the treaty of Hudaibiyah. Here are some of its details.

The Conditions of the Treaty of Hudaibiyah:

*   Both parties will observe a ceasefire for ten (10) years.

*   The Muslims should go back without performing Umrah this year. They should

come to perform Umrah the next year and stay in Makkah for three days.

*   The Muslims should only be armed with swords and those swords should be in the

sheaths.

*   If a person migrates to Madinah from Makkah, he will be sent back; but if a person

migrates to Makkah from Madinah, he will not be sent back.

*   Tribes of Arabia will have the authority to take any side they want.

Key Lessons:
The Treaty not only occupies a crucial place in the history of Islam, but also in the
present times, it holds a significant value. The treaty offers several vital lessons to
Muslims on patience and gentleness. Following are the lessons one can learn from it:

 Patience can resolve every problem:

 It is a difficult virtue to attain, but it has the power to resolve every issue.
Although at the start, the conditions of the Treaty did not favour Muslims, but
because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed patience, peace was ensured.

 Raising your sword is not always the answer: 

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had the support of so many brave Muslim brothers.
Still, instead of raising his sword despite the challenges, he chose to settle things
through peaceful talks. Thus, the Treaty of Hudaibiyah points out that walking on
the path of peace is vital.

 Muslims should honour agreements: 

From the treaty that was made in January 628, the Muslims should learn the
value of commitments. Because the Quraish people did not follow the agreement
and violated a vital clause, the Prophet invaded and defeated them by the grace
of Allah.
