Abu al-Bashr, the Khalifah of Allah on earth, the Masjid of the Angels, the Holy Prophets and Messengers sent by Allah from the time of Hazrat Sayyiduna Adam Alaihi Salaam to the era of Hazrat Ruhollah Sayyid Na Essa Alaihi Salaam. he came to the world for guidance and performed the duty of raising the word of truth in a good way. During the time of every prophet and messenger Alaihi Salaam,

The people of falsehood put thorns in the path and tried, but the prophets and messengers always prevailed. People of falsehood used power, wealth, and government to extinguish the light of truth. Many battles and battles took place, the detailed descriptions of which are available in the Holy Qur’an, books of hadiths, and books of history and history. After Hazrat Essa (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)no prophet or messenger was sent in the long period until the time of Sayyid al-Mursleen the mercy of the worlds, the seal of the prophets, the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him)

People gradually forgot the original teachings and traditions of Hazrat Essa (peace be upon him) or changed them according to their wishes. Polytheism, disbelief, evil deeds, and vulgarity became common. In this way, the terrible darkness of misguidance engulfed the entire world. There was a hot market for alcohol, adultery, murder, theft, robbery, gambling, malfeasance, fraud, deception, and immorality. People did not hesitate to bury their girls alive. man became not human but an animal. Arab, Iran, China, and India, but every region of the world was stuck in the mire of disbelief and misguidance. In such a serious environment, which did not even have the name of growth and guidance,

Allah Almighty sent His Beloved Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) to guide and guide His servants.

In the Holy Qur’an, the Almighty says:

قدْ جااَكُمْ مُنَ الَِّّ نورٌ وَكِتَابٌ مُُّبِينٌ (Surat al-Ma’idah, verse: 15) Translation “Indeed, there has come to you a light from Allah, bright.

Book (Kanz al-Iman) In this verse, light refers to the attributes of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

And the bright book refers to the Holy Quran. It is in the Tafsir that Sayyid Aalam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was enlightened because the darkness of disbelief was removed from him and the right path became clear.

(Tafsir Khazain al-Irfan, p: 198) When the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم(PBUH) reached the age of forty years and declared his Prophethood, he raised the flag of Tawheed and stopped idolatry and led his people to worship only one God. While instructing worship with the word Tawheed “There is no god but Allah, Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is the Messenger of Allah, then your people became your mortal enemies. They caused all kinds of tortures and pains, but you performed the duty of Prophethood well by acting with patience and forbearance.” The result was that his message had an effect on the right hearts and the people of Sa’id accepted Islam and began to be proud of the blessings of the Hereafter. The flames rose and they tried all false tactics against the truth. But none of their strategies worked. Especially the great miracle of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in the Qur’an, the hearts of the princes of the Arab countries were destroyed.

Arabs in the category of Islam At that time, the eloquence and eloquence of the inhabitants of the Arab country was known that even a young man had the ability to recite high-quality poetry immediately. The language skills of the Arabs were at such a peak that most of the ignorant, uneducated, and forest-dwelling banns were also the best poets and considered the whole world to be as dumb and ignorant as camel herders. When this was the knowledge of the language of the ignorant, then what would be the knowledge of the language of the writers and poets of the Arab country?

But the eloquence and eloquence of the great Balghas and the eloquence were in front of the Prophet (Ummi)(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

It did not even have the status of an opposite particle. According to Imam Ishq wa Muhabbat Hazrat Raza Barelvi: In front of you, there is no tongue in the mouth, but no soul in the body.

The miracles of the beloved Lord of the Worlds, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, were the verses of the holy and great Qur’an, as well as everything that came out of his tongue, the true interpreter, was so eloquent and eloquent that even the great poets of the Arab country would press their fingers under their teeth in amazement. Because it came out of your tongue

Everything that happened was God’s revelation. In the Holy Qur’an, the Almighty says:

“” وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَى (سورۃ النجم، آیت: ۳ و۴ )

Translation: “And they do not do anything of their own volition, but that which is revealed to them.” is done.”

(Kanz al-Iman) Tafsir Ruhol al-Bayan says that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is among the attributes of Allah.

He reached such a high point of annihilation that he had nothing left. Tajli Rabbani got this name that what he says is a divine revelation. (Reference: Tafsir Khazain al-Irfan, p. 946)

He could not bring even a small verse compared to the Quran Majeed. “ فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِّنْ مِثْلِهِ وَادْعُوا شُهَدَاءَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ

It is said in the Holy Quran:

(Surat al-Baqarah, verse: 23)

Translation: So bring a surah like it and all your supporters besides Allah

(Kanz al-Iman)

The polytheists of Arabs were so disappointed by feeling their words worthless and saltless compared to the eloquence and eloquence of the Holy Qur’an, that they put their morals on the highest level and adopted barbaric forms and enmity and enmity of the Merciful Prophet (peace be upon him). I reached such an extent that even after inflicting all kinds of torture and hardships, the anger of the heart did not come out. He was informed about the conspiracy of the infidels. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked his heart friend, Asadeq al-Sadiqeen, Sayyid al-Muttaqeen, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA).

At night, they left Makkah and migrated to Madinah Tayyaba. The event of migration is described in the Quran in the following verses:

And those who disbelieved will deny you, or kill you, or

وَإِذْ يَمُكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ

يُخْرِجُوكَ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمُكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ “

(Surah Anfal, verse: 30

And oh beloved! Remember when the disbelievers plotted with you to imprison you or kill you or expel you, and they used to plot their own, and Allah used to plan His secrets, and Allah’s secret plans are the best.

(Kanz al-Iman) After declaring Prophethood, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) stayed in Makkah for thirteen years, and when the enmity and hardships of the infidels of Makkah and the polytheists of Arabs became too much, then he migrated to Madinah by the order of God.

I decided to settle down, but in Madinah, the infidels, polytheists, and Jews of Arabia tried their best to harass and hurt me. Until the time when he honored the land of Madinah with his holy feet, i.e. until the time of his emigration, there were a large number of Jews living in Madinah. Jews had considerable influence and dominance in commercial, cultural, economic, social, and other important matters and financially they were also considered among the wealthy. The trade and social relations between the infidels and polytheists of Makkah and the infidels and Jews of Madinah were deep and their relations were so strong that Sikhs used to be the companions of each other’s sufferings. The disbelievers of Makkah spared no effort in inviting and inciting their like-minded people against the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) through their messengers.

But in Madinah, the call of the beloved Lord of the Worlds, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had become common. The number of followers of the Shama Ishq Prophet was increasing day by day. Apart from this, the Shidai and Fadai of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) migrated from Makkah one after the other to Madinah and Madina became strong and stable as the center of Islam. Leaders of the Arab countries and influential and brave people who were important among the scholars of the Jewish community entered Islam and converted to Islam.

They were increasing in power. And Islam was on the rise and development. The polytheists of Makkah, especially Abu Jahl, Abu Lahab, Umayyah bin Khalaf, Utbah bin Rabi’ah, Harith bin Amir, And (who had not converted to Islam till then), etc. oppressed the Muslims of Madinah in all kinds of ways, abused them, crossed the limits of malice, jealousy, and violence. But Rahmat Alam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) worked with patience and always taught patience to his martyred companions. The infidels and Jews considered the patience and patience of the Muslims as a weakness and their morale increased so much, that it reached the point that the Muslims were harassed daily by the hands and tongues of the infidels and polytheists. But the teaching and training of Rahmat Alam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had created the virtues of good manners in the Companions that no one left with patience. When the persecution of Muslims began to end, Allah Almighty revealed the order:

أَذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقْتِلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا”

(Surah al-Hajj, verse 39).

Translation: “Permission is granted to those from whom they flee.”That they were wronged. (Kanz al-Ayman)

The glory of this verse is revealed in the revelation that the unbelievers of Makkah used to harass and harass the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) daily with their hands and tongues, and the Companions used to reach the Holy Prophet in such a state that someone’s head had been split open. Someone’s hand is broken, someone’s foot is tied. Every day these kinds of complaints reached the Al-Aqdas court and the Companions used to complain about the atrocities of the infidels in the court of the Holy Prophet. The Holy Prophet would have said, “Be patient, I have not yet been ordered to wage jihad.” When the Holy Prophet migrated to Medina, this verse was revealed and this is the first one

There is a verse in which war with the disbelievers is permitted.” (Tafsir Khazain al-Irfan, p.)

Verses of jihad and fighting in the Quran

After giving permission for Jihad in the mentioned verse of Surah Al-Hajj, several verses related to Jihad and fighting were revealed in the Holy Qur’an. A few verses are listed below.

Allah Almighty says:

وَقَاتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا (Surat al-Baqarah, verse 190)

Translation: And fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you and do not exceed the limit. (Kanz al-Iman)

Tafsir: That is, those infidels who fight you or start a war, support the religion from them, And fight for honor. This order was initially in Islam, then it was canceled and it became obligatory to fight the infidels. (Tafseer Khazain al-Irfan, p. 55)
