The Peace Treaty with Quraysh حـلص Ziauddin/IslamicNotes/VII UNIT – D CHAPTER – 2 صلـح SULH-UL-HUDAYBIYAH: THE PEACE TREATY WITH QURAYSH الحديـبيـة Shortly after the Quraysh released Uthman Ibn Affan, they sent Suhayl Ibn Amr to the Prophet to make a settlement with him. The moment the Prophet saw Suhayl coming, he predicted that the Quraysh wanted to resolve the stand-off peacefully. Suhayl approached the Prophet and talked diplomatically. The two spent time in lengthy negotiations before coming to an agreement. Q.1. What were the main terms of the Treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah? Ans:The main terms of the Treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah were as follows: (1) Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims would withdraw that year but they would be permitted to visit Makkah next year and perform their Umrah and stay in Makkah for three days. (2) The Quraysh and the Muslims would commit to a truce for ten years. (3) The Muslims and the Quraysh would be free to sign alliance treaties with any tribes around Arabia. (4) The Muslims would reject any person from the Quraysh defecting to Madinah to become a Muslims. But the Quraysh would be free to receive any Muslim wishing to change his religion. Q.2. Who were the people that signed the treaty on behalf of the Muslims and the Quraysh? Ans:Prophet Muhammad signed the treaty on behalf of the Muslims and Suhayl Ibn Amr signed on behalf of the Quraysh. Q.3. What were the things that the Quraysh's representatives objected to while writing the document of the treaty? How did the Prophet resolve the disagreement? Ans: The Quraysh objected to the words, “In the name of Allah, Ar-Rahman Ar- Raheem”, they insisted to write instead, “Bismik-Allahumma”, the Prophet agreed. Again the Quraysh objected to the words, “This is the treaty of peace between Muhammad Rasoolullah, meaning the Messenger of Allah,” then the Muslims refused to consent to the change. The Prophet said, “I swear by Allah that I am His messenger even though you do not believe.” The words were changed to Muhammad Ibn Abdullah. Q.4. Which of the treaty terms caused some problems in the minds of the Sahabah? Ans:The term that the Muslims would reject any person from the Quraysh defecting to Madinah to become a Muslims. But the Quraysh would be free to receive any Muslim wishing to change his religion, caused some problem in the minds of the Sahabah. Q.5.Who was Abu Jandal and what did he do during the time of signing the treaty? Ans: Abu Jandal was the son of Suhayl Ibn Amr. During the time of signing the Ziauddin/IslamicNotes/VII Ziauddin/IslamicNotes/VII treaty he came and joined the Muslims. Q.6.Why didn't the Prophet help Abu Jandal? What lesson do you learn from that? Ans: The Prophet didn't help Abu Jandal, because according to the terms of treaty, the Muslims would reject any person from the Quraysh defecting to become a Muslim. This teaches us the lesson that we should honor our treaties and promises. and what was his رضينع النع عنه say to Abu Bakrنع رضينع النع عنه Q.7. What did Omar answer? said to Abu Bakr, “ Oh Abu Bakr! Isn't he the Messengerنع رضينع النع عنه Ans: Omar of Allah? Abu Bakr said, “certainly.” Abu Bakr advised him to stick with the Prophet no matter what. Q8.What were the benefits of Sulh-alHudaybiyah? Ans: *Spreading Islam in Arabia: After signing the treaty more people embraced Islam than ever before. *Saving the lives of the Quraysh people. *Protecting Muslim lives in Makkah. *Recognizing the Power of Islam in Arabia. Q.9. Which surah was revealed after the Treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah? Ans: Surat-ul-Fateh was revealed after the treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah. سورة الفتـح Ziauddin/IslamicNotes/VII .

  • The Central Islamic Lands
    77 THEME The Central Islamic 4 Lands AS we enter the twenty-first century, there are over 1 billion Muslims living in all parts of the world. They are citizens of different nations, speak different languages, and dress differently. The processes by which they became Muslims were varied, and so were the circumstances in which they went their separate ways. Yet, the Islamic community has its roots in a more unified past which unfolded roughly 1,400 years ago in the Arabian peninsula. In this chapter we are going to read about the rise of Islam and its expansion over a vast territory extending from Egypt to Afghanistan, the core area of Islamic civilisation from 600 to 1200. In these centuries, Islamic society exhibited multiple political and cultural patterns. The term Islamic is used here not only in its purely religious sense but also for the overall society and culture historically associated with Islam. In this society not everything that was happening originated directly from religion, but it took place in a society where Muslims and their faith were recognised as socially dominant. Non-Muslims always formed an integral, if subordinate, part of this society as did Jews in Christendom. Our understanding of the history of the central Islamic lands between 600 and 1200 is based on chronicles or tawarikh (which narrate events in order of time) and semi-historical works, such as biographies (sira), records of the sayings and doings of the Prophet (hadith) and commentaries on the Quran (tafsir). The material from which these works were produced was a large collection of eyewitness reports (akhbar) transmitted over a period of time either orally or on paper.

  • The Rise of Islam As a Constitutive Revolution
    Chapter 5 Revolution in Early Islam: The Rise of Islam as a Constitutive Revolution SAÏD AMIR ARJOMAND We conceive of revolution in terms of its great social and political consequences. In a forthcoming comparative and historical study of revolutions, I contrast to the state-centered revolutions of modern times with another ideal-type of revolution which I call the ‘integrative’ revolution (see the Appendix). This ideal type of revolution – which is an aspect of all revolutions – expresses two simple ideas: revolutions 1) bring to power a previously excluded revolutionary elite, and 2) enlarge the social basis of the political regime. This makes integrative revolu- tions not just political but also ‘social revolutions.’ Integrative revolution is in turn divided into three subtypes, the two sub-types I derive from Aristotle-Pareto and Ibn Khaldun are so labeled. The ‘constitutive’ type is my own invention, of- fering the sharpest contrast to the state-centered or ‘Tocquevillian’ type in that it is the typical pattern of radical change in the political order through the enlarge- ment of political community in ‘stateless societies,’ be they of 6th century BCE Greece or 7th century CE Arabia. In addition to this structural typology, we need to come to terms with the mo- tives and goals of the revolutionaries as historical actors, and here I do what may be politically incorrect from the viewpoint of the theory community by using the term teleology, not in the strict Aristotelian sense but rather as a term denoting the directionality of revolution. Through teleology, I seek to capture the distinc- tive direction of a revolution, its intended or intentionally prefigured conse- quences.

Khdir, PhD Candidate School of Law, University of Minho, Braga-Portugal Doi: 10.19044/esj.2017.v13n34p30 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2017.v13n34p30 Abstract Humanitarian law is the law of armed conflict that has originated from the rules and costumes of the ancient religions and civilizations. Islam includes many rules that restrict war between combatants and prohibit the warfare methods cause superfluous harm. The Quran and prophet Muhammad command Muslims to release and ransom war prisoners based on their personal conditions. The Quran never encourages Muslims to enslavement neither does mention execution but Muslims often enslaved prisoners as a common phenomenon of the era and executed some few for their atrocities and dishonesty. ISIS captured many war prisoners after the commencement of its military attacks against Iraq and Syria in 2013. The group executed most of the prisoners for taking part in battle against them through shooting, beheading, hanging and burning alive. The article compares the ISIS practice with the commandments of the Quran and prophet Muhammad in respect of the fate of war prisoners. Keywords : Humanitarian law, prisoners of war, the Quran, traditions of the prophet Muhammad, ISIS Introduction Modern international humanitarian law comprises of the rules and costumes that have been enshrined and practiced by the ancient religions and civilizations.

  • Religious Conflict in Early Islam: a Study of Its Causes from Qur'an Sunnah
    QURANICA, International Journal of Quranic © 2014 Centre of Quranic Research (CQR), Research, Vol. 6, Issue.2, December 2014, Pp. 1-18 University of Malaya, Malaysia RELIGIOUS CONFLICT IN EARLY ISLAM: A STUDY OF ITS CAUSES FROM QUR’AN SUNNAH PERSPECTIVE)*( 1 2 S. M. Yunus Gilani & Tazul Islam ABSTRACT This paper aims to present an historical survey on the conflict between Islam and other religions. It undertakes an analytic textual reading of the concerned Quranic verses and a historical survey of the Prophet’s (pbuh) efforts to resolution of the conflict. This study finds that a multi-dimensional causes contributed to the conflict between the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and other religions. For example, Religious roots which was mainly caused by the Christians and Jews’ denial of prophecy of Muhammad (pbuh) after a clear prediction of his prophethood in their religious scriptures. However, politico-economy was another key element of this conflict in the early Islamic state in Madinah. Though this conflict had come to broad daylight in the Islamic era, had a long pre-Islamic root go back to the second and third century CE. Moreover, Jews and Christians had a genuine fear of being defeated by the new emerging Muslim power. Therefore, they had found themselves in conflict so that they could reign their hegemony over the territory. In addition, after a city state was established in Madinah, the Prophet (pbuh) found a demographic presence of Jews and their ally Quraish threatening it peace, security, stability and even assassination of head of the state. Hence, the conflict had become inevitable.

  • Quran and Conquest
    01ch.qxp 5/20/15 5:35 PM Page 5 ONE QURAN AND CONQUEST MUHAMMAD, THE QURAN, AND JIHAD Islam did not begin with violence. Rather, it began as the peaceful proclamation of the absolute unity of God by the Prophet Muhammad (ca. 610 c.e.) in the pagan-dominated town of Mecca. The early suras (chapters) of the Quran proclaim this basic message: “Say: He is Allah, the only One, Allah, the Everlasting. He did not beget and is not begot- ten, and none is His equal” (Quran 112). Initially, Muhammad was instructed merely to communicate this message to his immediate family and close friends, who, together with a number of social outcasts and slaves, formed the original community of Muslims. Within a few years, the Prophet and his adherents found themselves increasingly persecuted for their beliefs by the elite of the Quraysh (the tribe that dominated Mecca). Muhammad proselytized among the tribesmen of the oasis of Yathrib, about 150 miles to the north of Mecca, who accepted his mes- sage. In 622 he, together with the other Muslims, emigrated to this oasis, which was subsequently called Medina. Muslim history begins with the hijira—Muhammad’s emigration to Medina (although there continue to be major, unresolved problems with the historicity of the events narrated below concerning the life of the Prophet Muhammad and the first conquests). Medina was not a town in the conventional sense but rather a collection of small villages and forts spread over the oasis, divided politically among two pagan Arab tribes— the Aws and the Khazraj—and three smaller Jewish tribes: the Banu 5 01ch.qxp 5/20/15 5:35 PM Page 6 6 /QURAN AND CONQUEST Qaynuqa, the Banu al-Nadir, and the Banu Qurayza.

  • The Advent of Islam Has Launched the Greatest Arabic Language Planning Process Ever-Made in History for a Language
    International Journal of English Language and Linguistics Research Vol.5, No.2, pp.24-42, April 2017 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) THE ADVENT OF ISLAM HAS LAUNCHED THE GREATEST ARABIC LANGUAGE PLANNING PROCESS EVER-MADE IN HISTORY FOR A LANGUAGE Hussein Abdo Rababah Al Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU) The College of languages and Translation ABSTRACT: This descriptive and analytical research conducted to investigate the relationship between the advent and spread of Islam and its reflections on the development and growth of the Arabic language from one side, and link that with the contemporary principle, concepts and theories of language planning from the other side. The coming and spread of Islam has made major procedures that have enhanced the status, corpus and acquisition of Arabic. They include selection, standardization and codification of the Arabic language as the official language for the Muslim community and state. The advent of Islam has made great linguistic changes to the Arabic language components including its phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. These procedures have changed the Arabic status from a language of local tribes to an international language spoken by about 450 millions in the world; it has also become the native and official language for 22 countries and the liturgical language for about 1.7 billion Muslims. Learning and disseminating Arabic is enhancing, booming and increasing worldwide. KEYWORDS: the Advent of Islam, Status, Corpus, Acquisition, Language Planning, and Arabic language. INTRODUCTION Arabic is a Semitic language which is part of the Afro-Asian family of languages.

  • Investigating the Reasons for Imposing the First Sanction in History and the Factors Contributing to Its Failure
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 6, Ver. 4 (June. 2017) PP 49-57 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Investigating the Reasons for Imposing the First Sanction in History and the Factors contributing to its Failure Bahman Zeinali1, Neda Khodadadi2 1(Assistant professor of History department, University of Isfahan, Iran) 2(Master of science student of History department, University of Isfahan, Iran) Abstract: The Meccan boycott of the Muslims and the Hashemites was the first multilateral and targeted policy of sanctions in history that was put to action in 617AD by the idolaters. Muhammad's declaration of prophecy in 610 AD was the greatest monotheistic (Tawhid), intellectual revolution, which went public in 613 AD after three years of secret invitation to Islam. When the invitation and the intentions of Islam were revealed, Islam and Muslims were met with a wave of backlash. One of these backlashes was that of their boycotting of the BanūHāshimites and Muslims in Mecca, which was aimed to separate the Muslims from the prophet, and to discourage the BanūHāshim from protecting Muhammad. This policy could not achieve its purpose and failed in 620 AD due to the insight and management of Prophet Muhammad and the diligent collaboration of the Muslims and the Hashemites despite severe conditions. Using the original sources and a descriptive-analytical method, this study attempts to answer these questions: What was the main reason behind the imposition of the boycott by the idolaters? And what policies were adopted by Prophet Muhammad against the said boycott? The results suggest that the root cause of opposition against the new religion and the policy of sanctions was the threat posed by Islam against the economic and social interests of the idolaters.

  • Pre-Islamic Arabia 1 Pre-Islamic Arabia
    Pre-Islamic Arabia 1 Pre-Islamic Arabia Pre-Islamic Arabia refers to the Arabic civilization which existed in the Arabian Plate before the rise of Islam in the 630s. The study of Pre-Islamic Arabia is important to Islamic studies as it provides the context for the development of Islam. Studies The scientific studies of Pre-Islamic Arabs starts with the Arabists of the early 19th century when they managed to decipher epigraphic Old South Arabian (10th century BCE), Ancient North Arabian (6th century BCE) and other writings of pre-Islamic Arabia, so it is no longer limited to the written traditions which are not local due to the lack of surviving Arab historians Nabataean trade routes in Pre-Islamic Arabia accounts of that era, so it is compensated by existing material consists primarily of written sources from other traditions (such as Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc.) so it was not known in great detail; From the 3rd century CE, Arabian history becomes more tangible with the rise of the Himyarite Kingdom, and with the appearance of the Qahtanites in the Levant and the gradual assimilation of the Nabataeans by the Qahtanites in the early centuries CE, a pattern of expansion exceeded in the explosive Muslim conquests of the 7th century. So sources of history includes archaeological evidence, foreign accounts and oral traditions later recorded by Islamic scholars especially pre-Islamic poems and al-hadith plus a number of ancient Arab documents that survived to the medieval times and portions of them were cited or recorded. Archaeological exploration in the Arabian Peninsula has been sparse but fruitful, many ancient sites were identified by modern excavations.
