==============================

It wasn’t atheists and heretics who didn’t believe in God at all who tried to kill the Prophet (s). It wasn’t like this at all. Those who claimed to be believers and religious tried to do this. The people at the time of the Prophet (s) had some good points but they committed these crimes. This is something very precise. But we are used to saying that the people at the time of the Prophet (s) were bad and foolish. We have heard the word “ignorance.”
- “They say the people worshiped idols and buried their children alive.”
Yes, they did these things.
- “They had all kinds of vices.”
But it wasn’t like this at all. Most of the principal enemies of the Holy Prophet of Islam (s) were his relatives. Abu Jahl and Abu Sufyan were two of his enemies. Abu Lahab was the Prophet’s (s) uncle. They were from the same ancestors as the Prophet (s). scholars have said the statements made about the Arabs being very bad is mostly about the Bedouin Arabs who lived in the surrounding areas. Otherwise, the Arabs who lived in the cities had their own culture.
But those living in the cities wanted to kill the Prophet (s), not the Bedouin Arabs! We should read Islamic history again. Most people think that ignorance refers to the people who were the opposite of the Prophet (s). They think ignorance means absolute darkness.
- “Yes, darkness.”
But it wasn’t like this at all.
- “We think they were a group of sinners who worshiped idols.”
It wasn’t like this at all. I have even brought a sample of their poems about monotheism. For example, one poem is this, «الحمدلله لا شریکَ لَهُ مَن لم یقلها فنَفسَهُ ظَلَما» “Praise is for Allah, Who has no associate, and whoever does not believe in this has wronged himself.”
- “Who said this? The ignorant Arabs?”
Yes, the ignorant Arabs.
The Arabic language used in the Qur’an had to be in a way that the people could understand what the Prophet (s) was saying. After hearing the verse, “All praise is for Allah,” the people shouldn’t wonder, “Who is Allah?!” Then the Prophet (s) would answer, “I’ll first prove that there is a God, then I’ll talk about Him creating the world.” The Prophet (s) was sent to a religious, ethical people, despite all the bad points that have been related about them. He was sent to a city that was famous worldwide as being a religious city.
Religious people, be careful about the reappearance of the Savior! We shouldn’t condemn the enemies of the Prophet (s) saying they did all kinds of bad deeds. They didn’t have certain bad points. And they had many good points. Mr. Abu Jahl – the reason I’m using the term “Mr.” is since he was a man but not to respect him! When he wanted to participate in the Battle of Badr, he clung onto the Ka’ba. He said, “O God, Muhammad has brought a new religion and our religion is older. O God, if we follow the truth, make us victorious.” They even talked to God.
The word “Allah” wasn’t a new word for them. Even going to the Ka’ba and worshiping during the time of Hajj was done in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah [just as it is now]. Many of their movements were similar to the current Hajj. They fought many battles with the Prophet to kill him! What will we do if the Imam of the Time (aj) comes?!
