SALAM YA MAZLOOMEEN-E-KARBALA (SLWT)

On this day Mubahilla took place between Christians of Najran and The Prophet of Islam PBUH at Madina.
In the north of Yemen there was a fertile land called Najran in which lived about 73 tribes and about 40 thousands Christians, who used to worship Idles, but a Christian Scholar named Faimoon left Rome and settled in Najran and educated the people living there and converted them in to Christians. Soon Najran became an important place for Christians. The Christians built a huge Church which earned an income of two hundred thousands Dinars which was spent on the Priests and religious Scholars.

When Islam gained momentum and when all the anti Islam forces were defeated, The Prophet of Islam PBUH wrote to the Christians of Najran to Either embrace Islam or pay Jazia a Tax on non Muslims. When the Message of the Prophet reached there, the head of Christians called all the important people and discussed the matter with them to find out the solution. After all it was decided that a delegation of knowledgeable people should go to Madina and discuss the matter with the Prophet of Islam PBUH.A delegation of 14 people under the command of Aquib and Abu Harrisa was sent to Medina. Abu Harrisa was the most important and knowledgeable person amongst the Christians. The delegation was wearing very expensive clothes, that the people of Medina were awed to see them. They entered the Masjad-e-Nabvi, The Prophet PBUH seeing them, tuned his head away and did not talk with them. When they came out from the mosque, they saw Hazrat Usman and Abdur Rehman Bin Auf, the delegation complained to Hazrat Usman that they had come from Najran to meet the Prophet of Islam but He had tuned his head .Hazrat Usman said that he was unable to understand as to why the Prophet PBUH did not answer and advised the delegation to talk with Ali (AS). They approached Ali (AS) who advised them to wear simple clothes and then see the Prophet PBUH. They did the same and after the Asar prayer the Prophet PBUH discussed in detail with the delegation and invited them to embrace Islam. The delegation replied that they were already Muslims, then the prophet PBUH asked them,” how can you be Muslims when you eat pork and idolize cross and say Issa is the son of God.”The head of the delegation replied that indeed Issa was son of God.
The Prophet PBUH replied that Hazrat Issa was like Hazrat Adam who was created by God from the sand and said, “become and it became.”The prophet PBUH replied that if God created Adam without mother and father, similarly Hazrat Issa was born without his father. The Christians were not ready to listen to the Prophet. Soon Allah sent His message and in the third Sura of Quran Al Imran Ayat No. 67.The Allah Says;
Fa Man Hajja Ka Fehey If they (Christians) argue with you
Mim Bade Ma Ja Aaka Minal Elme After you have been given all knowledge
Fakul Tell them
Ta Aalo Nad u AbNa Ana Let us call sons
Wa AbNa Aa Kum And You call your sons
Wa Nisa Aa Na Wa Nisa Aa Kum and we call our women and you call your women
Wa Anfo Sa Na Wa An Fo Sa Kum we call ourselves and you call your self (NAFS)
Sum Ma Nab Ta Hill Then we will request
Fa Naj Al Laa Na Tallah He Invoke Allah’s Curse
Aalal Kazebeen upon the Liars.
In the end it was settled that there will be called upon a Mobahilla between The Prophet PBUH and the Christians of Najran.
The prophet PBUH asked Hazrat Salman-e-Farsi to arrange a tent of red carpet fixed with the help of four sticks. Hazrat Salman reported to the Prophet that every resident of Madina was excited to accompany the Prophet PBUH to Mobahilla, but then the Prophet told Salmam Farsi to convey to the crowd that only that person can go with me who has never lied for a single second in his life time, when this message of the Prophet was conveyed every one slipped away.
The prophet PBUH came out of His house with such a grandeur that Imam Hussain was in His lap, Imam Hassan with Him, Hazrat Fatima Zahra behind the Prophet PBUH and Hazrat Ali behind Hazrat Fatima. The Prophet Mohammad PBUH took Imam Hassan and Hussain as sons from whole of Madina, His only daughter from whole of the women from Madina and took Ali as Nafs –e-Rasool. The prophet took these personalities because they had never spoken lie for a single moment. The Prophet prayed to Allah that these are His Ahle Bait and keep them pious.
When the head of the Christians Abu Harrisa saw these personalities, he immediately warned his people that he was seeing very pious faces that if they ask this hill to change its place, the hill will change its place so never indulge with them for Mobahilla otherwise no Christian will remain alive in this world till the end of the world. Mobahilla was thus could take place, the Christians accepted their defeat and agreed to pay Jazia to the Prophet PBUH.
The Prophet PBUH took these personalities as witness to God that Issa was not the son of God but , when Hazrat Ali did not show his allegiance to Hazrat Abu Baker on his Caliphate and as punishment The Bagh-e- Fidak a fertilized place given by the prophet to Hazrat Fatima as His successor, was confiscated by the Caliph, Hazrat Fatima pleaded her case in the court of Abu Baker and as witnesses presented the names of Hazrat Ali and her two sons , unfortunately these witnesses were rejected by the Caliph on the ground that the sons were Minors and Ali was husband on the contrary Almighty had accepted the witnesses of Hazrat Ali Hazrat Fatima and her two sons.
I congratulate all my friends on the victory of the Prophet against the only encounter with Christians. May all readers of this note be blessed in the name of Fatima, Hussan and Hussain and Ali AS. Called the Ahle Bait and Panj Tan Pak.
