Cleverest Deal Ever

Six Years. Only Six years have passed! Within this short duration, he had a lot to do. To prevent his state from His biggest rivals, he already broke their ties with their smaller allies through treaty, negotiation n small wars. He already defeated them in a major war n lost in the following one. But, their strongest ally is living beside his own state n becoming more dangerous day by day. Main rivals will not even dream to engage in further war against him alone. They got the taste of the spirit of his Army twice before. So, they will use his nearest neighbors to break his dream of spreading his newly set ideology. But, he is not a person to be fooled. He hits upon a Master plan to dominate over his rivals. Readers, He is final messenger from God. His ideology was Islam, state was in Medina n His main rivals was the Quraish tribe of Macca whose allies, TheKhaibartribes was residing beside Medina. Rasul(sm) knew that, the Quraishwill never engage in war in holy months. So, if he goes to travel The Kaba in this year, they will surely fall in a danger. They have the prohibition on war. So, if they want to get Muslims back to Medina, they will have to do a treaty of Peace. This Peace treaty was the cleverest Deal ever in history whose plan came from the ready witness of Rasul(sm) by the order of Allah(swt). Because, in one side it would restrict Quraish fom direct war n in another side, Khaibar r left alone. So,it will be easy to win in a war against Khaibar tribe more easily. So, about 1400 Muslims along with 70 camels marched on with the intension of Hajj(pilgrimage). The Quraish sent Khalid-bin-Walid n Iqrama bin Abu-Jehel along with 200 cavalry to prevent them to enter Macca. Muslims entered Macca through another way which terrified the Quraish more. The Quraish got sure about the intension of Muslims after several events. But, they, out of their madness prevented Muslims from doing Hajj. Rasul(sm) became happier inside since they have caught in the net of his Master plan. They got compelled to sign a deal or treaty of peace for 10 years. The terms were: 1) To lay aside from war and refrain from hostilities during the period of the truce.

2) If anyone from the Quraish embraced Islam and came to Muhammad (sm) without the permission of his guardian, he would return him to them, and if anyone from those with Muhammad came to the Quraish, they need not return him to Muhammad.

3) Whosoever wished from amongst the Arabs to enter into an alliance with Muhammad could do so, and he who wished to enter into an alliance with the Quraish could do so.

4) The Muslims and Muhammads Companions had to go back from Makka that year and return the following year when they would be free to enter Makka and stay there three nights. They would be allowed to carry swords in their sheaths and nothing more.

5) The treaty was valid for a limited period of time, ten years from then. From this very treaty, several Muslims thought they lost. But, the real fact was, they had did the cleverest deal ever. How?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - -- --They had to return without performing hajj. But, was this a loss? They made it in next year. Moreover, even some Muslims couldnt perceive its significance at that very instant. Aim was to take a chance over Quraish to make a mistake through the event of hajj, not to do hajj. Quraish did the mistake n thus Muslims won. --The major fruit was, Khaibar had no more war allies with Quraish as per Muslims were concerned. History tells, within a month, Muslims won in a war against Khaibar. -- Since, Muslims showed noble and non-hostile attitude with Quraish tribe in Hudaibiyah(the place where the treaty was made), the public opinion of non-major Arab tribes was shifted to Muslims from Quraish. --After this very treaty & Khaibar war, Rasul(sm) sent several ambassadors to the nearby greater Empires like Romans, Persia, Byzentain with the Bold message of Islam.Morover, several Dawah centers were set in surrounding Arab tribes n message of Peace was carried relentlessly. --When any Quraish came in Medina, he could experience the beauty of the ideology named Islam and thus many people converted to Muslims & when they got to makka they even convinced their dear ones towards islam.Thus, Islam got spread. --When any Muslim from medina went Makka, he could call people towards Islam which was the goal of their life in order to satisfy Allah(swt).. Obviously, Allah(swt) made Islam faster through this. Immediately after the treaty Allah revealed: (o Muhammad), I have given You The Great Victory (through this treaty).[Sura Fath:01] It is surely our Joy that, this Deal was done so accurately that even the Muslims couldnt perceive its effectiveness before they experienced it in reality. But, agony increases when we see some Muslims (those who r amazed by the terms like Islamic Democracy or Islamic Communism) refer this Master event as a document of participating in any system of Governance set by the Kufr!! How a treaty can be alike something like sharing power!!! This happened because; they couldnt take Islam

as an ideology. For this very reason, they are not perceiving whether they r taking the right decision or not. Allah (swt) revealed: He is Allah who has sent his messenger with guidance& accurate Ideology so that it can dominate over other Ideologies; though the polytheists dont like it.[Sura Saaf:09].. ALAS! If they but knew what this Verse Meant..
