THE COMPANIONS OF THE PROPHET (PBUH) : Zayd bin Haritha (r.a.)
Little Zayd had to leave his hometown when he was only eight years old. He was captivated along with his mother when they were visiting the graves of their grandparents; they were put on sale in the Fair of Ukaz. Hakim Ibn Khuzam bought him for 400 dirhams for hz. Khadijah. The divine power started Zayd's life with problems when he was a child. However, great happiness was due to come after those problems.
Hz. Khadijah, who married Hz. Muhammad (pbuh), gave him Zayd as a slave and servant.
Zayd, who was brought up under the compassion and protection of Hz. Muhammad (pbuh), served the Prophet and tried not to hurt him. It looked as if his little spirit felt his prophethood. He regarded serving Hz. Muhammad (pbuh) as an honor and worshipping. As a matter of fact, when his father and uncle came after years, Hz. Prophet left him free to go with his father and uncle but he refused to go by them saying, "I am glad to be with the best man in the world and in this holy land." He preferred to stay with the Prophet. The Messenger of Allah freed him and adopted him as his son.
When the divine call to Islam came, he accepted Islam after Hz. Khadijah and Hz. Ali and became the third Muslim. After that, he was more loyal to the Prophet and started to serve him with more enthusiasm and excitement. He ate and drank with the Prophet; he worshipped with him and spent his time with him. However, this honor and spiritual rank brought some hardships too. In the first years of Islam, he also received his share of the oppression and tortures inflicted upon the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). He went to the tribes and groups riding pillion with the Messenger of Allah . They were sometimes welcomed by those tribes and groups but they were usually stoned, rejected and driven away. When the cruel polytheists of Taif stoned the Prophet, he used his body as a shield to protect the Prophet from harms and injuries but he could not prevent the Prophet's feet from bleeding and his body from being injured. He himself was also injured but he was thinking of the Prophet.
When Hz. Hamza became a Muslim, the Prophet made him brothers with Zayd.  When he reached the age of marriage, the Messenger of Allah married him off to Umm Ayman, who was the nanny of his children. She gave birth to Usama. Zayd was attached to Hz. Muhammad so much that his son Usama was called "Zayd bin Muhammad (Zayd, son of Muhammad)" up to the time when verse 5 of the chapter of al-Ahzab ordering Muslims that children should be attributed to their real fathers was sent down.
Zayd bin Haritha, who migrated to Madinah with the Prophet, returned to Makkah with Abu Rafi, a young Muslim, after the construction of Masjid an-Nabawi; they took the wives and daughters of the Messenger of Allah to Makkah.
Hz. Zayd took part in all battles from the Battle of Badr to the Battle of Muta, in which he was martyred. His bravery, sacrifice and heroism were famous among the Companions. When the Messenger of Allah set off for Muraysi Expedition, he appointed Zayd as his deputy in Madinah. Thus, the Prophet appreciated his prudence and management ability; he also drew attention to the fact that being an administrator was not based on one's lineage but on taqwa, sacrifice and prudence. It was very significant that the Prophet left his freed slave as his deputy in a period when he tried to eliminate slavery gradually.  
Apart from wars and battles, Hz. Prophet used Hz. Zayd as a leader of important small teams and delegations. He became successful in all of them.
In the 8th year of the Migration, the Prophet sent Harith bin Umayr as an envoy to the governor of Busra in order to inform him about Islam. However, Shurahbil, the Byzantine governor of Damascus, saw Harith on the way and killed him though he knew that he was an envoy. The Prophet was very distressed by this news and he prepared an army of 3 thousand soldiers in order to teach Byzantines, who violated the rule "Do not kill the messenger" a lesson; he appointed Zayd bin Haritha as the commander of this army. If Hz. Zayd were to be martyred, Hz. Jafar would replace him; if he were to be martyred, Hz. Abdullah bin Rawaha would replace him. All of them especially Zayd fought heroically in Muta. As the Prophet pointed out, he was martyred there.
Before the Islamic army returned to Madinah, the Messenger of Allah saw Zayd bin Haritha's daughter. This innocent child, who was the daughter of a martyr, was looking at the Messenger of Allah sadly. When the Messenger of Allah saw her, she could not bear it and started to weep due to his compassion. Sa'd bin Ubada, a Companion who was there, asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the matter?" The Prophet said,
"This is the longing of the darling for the darling."
Hz. Zayd bin Haritha was an exceptional representative of the Prophet's high ethics. His son Usama, who was also brought up in the house of the Prophet, continued his father's altruism and sacrifice, becoming a good successor for his father.
May Allah be pleased with all of them!

The Life of The Prophet Muhammad(pbuh): The Miracles of The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Events that Took Place Before the Assignment of Prophethood
Here we retell some examples mentioned in trustable sources out of the many wondrous incidences that happened before and during the Prophet’s birth in relation to his coming to the world as well as events that took place before he was appointed as a prophet during his childhood and youth.
First: At the night when the Prophet was born,both his mother and those with her, the mother of Uthman Ibn As and the mother of Abdurrahman Ibn Awf, saw a great light about which they all said: “We saw such a light during his birth that this light illuminated for us the east and the west.”
Second: That night, most of the idols in the Kaaba were turned over.
Third: the famous palace of Chosroes, the king of Persia at that time, quaked and was damaged at the night the Prophet was born and its fourteen towers collapsed.
Fourth: TheLake of Sawa, which was deemed holy by Zoroastrians, sank into ground at the night the Prophet was born.
Fifth: The fire that had been kept ablaze for a thousand years in Istahrabad and that was worshipped by Zoroastrians went out at the night of the Prophet’s birth.
As the events we have mentioned above point out, the person that had just come to the Earth (PBUH) would abolish fire worshipping, demolish the palace of the Persians, and forbid sanctifying things without Allah’s permission.
Sixth: The famous event of the Elephant which happened fifty-two days before the Prophet’s birth and which was the reason for the revelation of the Chapter of al-Fil in the Qur’an. In order to destroy the Kaaba, Abraha, the governor of the Yemen, which was part of the Kingdom of Abyssinia, set out for Mecca with a great elephant called Mahmud at the front. When they got closer to Mecca, the elephant could no longer walk. They could not make it walk. Afterwards, the birds of ‘ababil’ rained stones on the army and swept them away. This event is well-known and it is elaborated in history books. It is one of the proofs of Muhammad’s prophethood (PBUH). This is because close to his birth, his beloved hometown and the direction he turns to, the holy Kaaba in Mecca, was saved from Abraha’s destruction in a wondrous and miraculous way.
Seventh:As is narrated by Halima, the Prophet’s nursing mother, and her husband, while Allah’s Messenger was with his nursing mother in his childhood, they saw that many times a patch of cloud made a shade for the Prophet so that he would not be disturbed by the sun. They told that event to others and it became trustably known by many people.
Eighth: Furthermore, when he was en route for Damascus at the age of twelve, with Priest Bukhara’s words, he saw a patch of cloud make a shade for Allah’s Messenger and showed it to others in the caravan.
Ninth: Again before the duty of prophethood was assigned, when Allah’s Messenger came back from business together with Khadijah’s servant Maysara, Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) saw two angels above the Prophet’s head making a shade like a cloud. She told it to Maysara, who replied: “I saw the same thing during the whole journey.”
Tenth: Asis recounted in trustable sources, before the duty of prophethood was assigned, Allah’s Messenger once sat under a tree. Though the ground was dry and barren before he sat, it became green. The branches of the tree bent above his head and made him a shade.
Eleventh:After his mother’s death, Allah’s Messenger first stayed with his grandfather, and when his grandfather died, he started staying with his uncle Abu Talib. During meals, if Abu Talib and his children ate with the Prophet, they would be full up. Whenever he was absent in the meal, they would not be full. That event is both renowned and trustable.
Twelfth: Ummu Ayman, his nanny who looked after him in his childhood, said: “Never did Allah’s Messenger complain about hunger or thirst. Neither in his childhood, nor when he was an adult…”
Thirteenth: Starting from the time he went to her nursing mother Halima and during the time he stayed with her, her property and her goats’ milk increased much in contrast to the others in her tribe. Those events are also both well-known and there is no doubt about their truth.
Fourteenth: Flies would not disturb the Prophet by perching on his blessed body or clothes. Furthermore, in some sources it is stated that Sayyid Abdulqadir Gilani, coming from the Prophet’s decent, had the same quality of not being disturbed by flies.
Fifteenth: After Allah’s Messenger honored the world, especially at the night of his birth, there was an increase in star-fallings. This is a sign that devils and jinn were forbidden to eavesdrop on the unknown in the heavens. As the Prophet came with revelation from Allah, surely it was necessary to block the flimsy news of the unknown given by oracles and jinn mixed with lies and fabrication so that no doubt would be cast on the revelation and what they told would not resemble it. Indeed, soothsaying was quite common before the prophethood was given. After the Qur’an was revealed, the Quran put an end to it. Furthermore, many oracles grasped belief, as their heralds among jinn could not carry out their duty after the Qur’an was revealed, and thus the oracles had no source any more.
* * *
In conclusion: Before his prophethood, there were many events that attested to the cause of Allah’s Messenger and that showed that he would be the Prophet. Such a person as him, who would
·        spiritually lead the world,
·        change the spiritual shape of the world,
·        make the world a field for the hereafter,
·        proclaim the values of the world’s creatures,
·        guide the jinn and the humanity to eternal bliss,
·        save the mortals by explaining the true nature of death which appears to be an eternal death sentence,
·        solve the mysteries intriguing the whole humanity by expounding the wisdom behind the creation of the world,
·        know and get others to know the aims of the Creator of the Universe, and by knowing that Creator, make Him known by others.
Obviously, even before such a person came to the world, everything, every sort of creatures and living beings would look forward to his coming, yearn to welcome him, applaud his coming and let others know if their Creator informs them. As is seen in the examples given above and in other sections, every kind of creatures show his miracles in the best fashion and attest to his cause of prophethood with the tongues of miracles.

Would you briefly mention the pillars of faith?
Faith has six pillars: To have faith in God, in the Hereafter, in angels, in Holy Books, in prophets, in Qadar (Predestination and Decree). In order for somebody to be a Believer, he needs to have faith in all of these six pillars. A person who has no faith even in one of them cannot be a Believer because the pillars of faith are related with each other.
1- Faith in God:
The first of the pillars of faith is to have faith in God. A Muslim, first, believes that God does exist and is One; this universe is a work of His. He has no partner or match either in His Person, or in His attributes, and His actions. His attributes do not resemble those of the creatures.
All beings have the signs of the existence of God and of His Oneness.
He is pre and post-eternal, and is free of time, space, change, neediness, inability, and defect. There can be no beings having these qualities.
All of God’s attributes cover everything. Everything rests on His will. Just as He has names such as ar-Rahman (the Merciful), ar-Rahim (the Compassionate), al-Ghafur (the Forgiver), He also has names such as al-Qahhar (the Subduer), al-Jabbar (the Most Powerful), and al-Muntaqim (the Avenger). He treats those who have faith in Him with His grace. And He inflicts torture upon the people of unbelief and rebellion.
Only God can be worshipped. The worldly and eternal bliss of people come true only by obeying His commands and prohibitions. This is a divine law; there can be no alteration in this.
Human mind cannot grasp the person, essence and truth of God properly for the mind is a creature and limited. The person and attributes of God Almighty are infinite. That the one that is limited cannot cover the one that is infinite is a clear truth. In other words, whatever you think of God is not actually Him.
God has no partner in His Person; He has no partner in His actions, either. He is the only Creator, Possessor, and Ruler. Just as it is He who creates the causes, it is again Him who creates the results from the causes; just as it is Him who creates the tree, it is again Him who creates the fruit as well.
Praise and worship, thanks and extolling must be offered to Him. Just as believers only worship Him, they also ask for assistance from Him,
“You alone do we worship and You alone do we seek help.” (al-Fatiha, 1:5)
When they commit a sin, they directly ask Him for forgiveness, for nothing but God (SWT) can pardon the sins men commit against Him.
2- Faith in Angels:
Another pillar of faith is to have faith in angels. God Almighty has incorporeal beings called angels. These beings glorify Allah Almighty; besides, they perform other duties consigned to them. These beings, who never rebel against Allah, are not subject to testing; their natures are pure, they are sinless and their places (before Allah) are stable.
Allah Almighty, Who has made a number of feelings occur in human body, the microcosm of this material world, such as love, fear, curiosity, has not left this wonderful universe empty; He has let angels surround it.
3- Faith in Books:
One of the pillars of faith is to have faith in Divine Books. Although man knows the existence and Oneness of Allah Almighty through reason, he cannot know what His orders and prohibitions are, how he can perform his duty of worship for Him, in short, what God Almighty is pleased with, and not. For this reason, Allah Almighty sent down the Divine Books. One hundred of the Divine Books came in the form of scriptures while the four came in the form of books. These four Divine Books, in sequence, are the Psalms of David, the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran.
A Muslim is obliged to believe in those pillars completely. With the advent of the Quran, the other Divine Books have been removed from the field of practice. Having come to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Holy Quran has come to our age without changing even a single letter. Thus, God Almighty’s undertaking, “We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)” (al-Hijr, 15:9) has proven true.
4- Faith in Prophets:
Another pillar of faith is to have faith in prophets. That God Almighty warns people with a prophet, who is himself a human being, is a divine law.
The prophethood is an enormous necessity and a great gift for man. God Almighty showed man the ways of guidance through these guiders and leaders.
The duty of prophets is to announce the commands that they receive through revelation and inspiration to the humankind and to show them the ways of both worldly and eternal bliss. These persons have two aspects; servitude, and messengership. In terms of servitude, they obey the commands and prohibitions of God Almighty perfectly; in this respect, they set a model for humanity. In terms of messengership, they announce the truth to people.
Prophets are creatures and servants of God. Muslims are expected to believe all of the prophets. Once they deny the prophethood of any of them, they step out of the field of Islam. For example, a person cannot be a believer unless he believes in the prophethood of Moses (PBUH) and of Jesus (PBUH) etc. Their prophethood is clear in the Quran. To have faith in them is a requirement of faith in Books and prophets.
The first of prophets is Adam (PBUH) and the final one is Muhammad (PBUH). The institution of prophethood has ended with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). In this respect, the Prophet Muhammad is called the Seal of Prophets.
As the verse, “We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men” (Saba, 34:28) states, the Prophet Muhammad was sent not to a tribe but to the whole of the universe.
As the verse, “We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures” (al-Anbiya, 107) declares, Muhammad (PBUH) has always been a bounty and an eternal mercy for all beings.
5- Faith in the Hereafter:
One of the most important pillars of faith is to have faith in resurrection after death and in the life in the Hereafter. God Almighty, who bestows both material and heavenly bounties upon them in this worldly life, will be bestowing again both material and heavenly infinite bounties upon His servants who passed the test on earth.
God, who resuscitates all dead plants in the spring, certainly will resuscitate dead people in the Hereafter. This is the requirement of his mercy and justice.
6- Faith in Predestination and Decree:
One of the pillars of faith is to have faith in Qadar (Predestination and Decree). Qadar is examined in two ways. The first; the ordaining and creation of all beings in the knowledge of God in terms of person, shape, and all features. This field is out of testing.
As for the second, it is related to man’s will power. God creates whatever man prefers and does, be it good or evil, with his will power,. The man is accountable for this second part. Paradise and Hell are the fruits of this right of preference granted to man.

Islamiat 9 class Notes Chapter 2 Love for Allah and his Prophet
Tumblr media
Q.1) What do you understand by love for Allah? Answer: Right thinking requires you to love Allah. If you receive an ordinary favor from some person, you feel to be under his obligation. In some you feel obliged to your benefactor for whole of your life. Allah says: “Those who believe are overflowing in their love for Allah." The accomplishment of faith is not possible without love because any performed without love is always devoid of Divine guidance. It is said that a lover is obedient to whom he loves. It is required by the faith that we should love Allah. Love for Allah requires that we should accept His commands and follow them whole heartedly. It is His mercy that Almighty Allah sent His Prophets in all ages for the guidance of mankind. To these pious persons Allah gave His commands in form of Books and Scriptures. The Holy Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is the Last Prophet of this series of guidance, and the Holy Quran revealed to him is the last book of guidance for all times to come. It is the last message to mankind for his success which can only be achieved by practicing its teachings. By acting upon its golden teachings, we can achieve success in this world as well as in the Hereafter. Read more: 9th class Islamiat short question-answer Chapter 1 The Holy Quran Q.2) Why is it important to follow the Holy Prophet(SAW)? Answer: Love for Allah is to fellow the examples set by the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Allah says: “Say (o Muhammad, to mankind); if you love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you for your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." Obedience demands surrendering oneself completely. Your onward action must reflect your inner feeling and inclination, otherwise the action will be nothing but hypocrisy. In such a case Allah warns the Muslims in these words: "But no, by the Lord they can have no real faith until they make thee judge in all disputes between them and find within themselves to resistance against this decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction." The requirement of faith are fulfilled by complete obedience and surrendering to Allah's will. Q.3) Explain the finality of the Prophethood in the context of the Holy Quran. Answer: FINALITY OF PROPHETHOOD: Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) was the last Prophet of Allah and after him the line of prophethood came to an end. In the Holy Quran Allah says: “This day I have perfected the religion for you, and completed my favour onto you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." The perfection of religion, the completion of Allah's favour and the clear expression that Allah likes Islam for Holy Prophet (pBUH) is a declaration that Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is His Last Prophet and Messenger, and there is no need for another prophet because all the commands off Allah have been conveyed to mankind. Now what we need to do is to accept the message of Allah as a code of over lives, and take the examples set by Holy Prophet (PBUH) as a lighthouse for our guidance. It is an honour for mankind that Allah has considered the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to be competent enough to receive the eternal message of God and practise the Divine teaching. Allah has also made Islam a universal religion. It means that before Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), Allah had sent prophets to nations or tribes belonging to different ages and regions. In former ages mankind was divided different societies. The annunciation of the prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) for the whole world gave rise to internationalism. One God, one Last Prophet, one centre (Kaba), one set of good examples of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and one and final Book (Holy Quran ) brought unity among the different nations of the world. The Holy Quran says: “Say O Muhammad: O mankind! Indeed I am messenger of Allah to you all." Allah also says: “Muhammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets." This verse of the Holy Quran has put an end to the confusion to where to seek seek guidance, and that source is Islam which requires us to believe in Allah. We can also have faith in Allah and follow  His orders only by showing love and obedience to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and following good examples set by him. Read the full article

THE COMPANIONS OF THE PROPHET (PBUH) : Salman al-Farisi (r.a.).Part1
Salman was born among fireworshippers (Magians). He was a small child among fireworshippers. His father, Buzahshan was among big farmers in Iran. He loved his child a lot and never left him alone. He was afraid to let his son go out as if somebody would kidnap him.
When Salman grew up, he went to the temple of the fireworshippers and kept guard there voluntarily. He kept the fire that was regarded as holy burning.  
There was an emptiness, longing, desire and sign in his heart. In the evening, he would stare into the horizon that got red and in the morning; he observed the rays of the sun as if he was attached to a distant sign of dream. He looked as if he was waiting for some news.
Once, his father sent Salman to the farm. On the way to the farm, Salman heard some sounds. When he turned toward the place where the sound came, he saw a church where Christians worshipped. He entered the church out of curiosity. Salman, who took part in the ritual without being aware of it, forgot about the farm and the village, and stayed there until the evening. He was virtually overwhelmed and found this pleasure more effective than that of his father's religion. He received some information from the Christians who took part in the ritual about their religion. He asked where the origin of this religion was. They indicated the direction of Damascus.
Time flew and it was evening soon. Salman returned home unwillingly. His father got angry because he was lost without permission but he became happy because he saw his son again. Salman told him about what had happened. He openly said that fireworshipping did not satisfy him and that he found Christianity superior. His father got furious and reprimanded him by saying, “How can you say such a thing?” However, Salman insisted on his idea. His father locked Salman up in the house by shackling his feet.
This act of his father's strengthened the idea of Salman, let alone changing it; it increased his desire to enter this new religion.
Once Salman managed to the break the fetters and escaped from home secretly. He joined a caravan going to Damascus. When he arrived in Damascus, he said he wanted to talk to the leading person in the Christian religion and was directed to the bishop. Salman said to the bishop that he accepted their religion and that he wanted to serve this religion by staying with them. However, the bishop was corrupt. He hoarded the money he collected from people for himself. He deceived people. The bishop died soon. Salman told people about him. When people found out that he hoarded gold, his dead body was stoned. Even such an ugly situation did not alienate Salman from his new religion. There was always longing for the better and truth in his spirit.
The new bishop that replaced the previous one was a person that Salman expected and adopted. He did not give importance to the world; he was engaged in worship day and night. This person, who was enraptured and overwhelmed with religious enthusiasm, got ill after a while. He gave Salman the following advice, which affected Salman very much:
“O my son! The world is heading toward destruction today. They have changed the true religion and overlooked most of the commands and prohibitions. I advise you to go such and such a person in Mosul after me because he is also in my way.”
After the death of this person, went to Mosul. He worked very hard, traveled a lot and did his best with the desire of finding the best and the truth.  
When he arrived in Mosul, he found the priest. This priest was and indeed a religious person like the bishop that died. However, he was in his last years of his life. It looked as if it was the harvest season for the good people; they passed away one by one.
After Mosul, Salman went to Nusaybin and then to Ammuriyah —now Sivrihi­sar in Turkey. He went to the presence of the last virtuous priest of the true religion. Salman, who looked and longed for religious truths, regarded it as an honor to serve this man, who was overwhelmed with religious service. He also worked and obtained some sheep and cattle. He thought he might need some money in the future. The advice of the person in Ammuriyah was more instructional, thought-provoking and wiser than those of the previous priests:
“My son! I do not know anybody who follows our way in the world now. However, the prophet following the religion of Ibrahim will soon emerge. He will emerge in the Arab land. Then, he will migrate to a place between two stony areas. There are date groves between these two stony areas. There will be some signs on him. . He will eat food provided it is a gift and not eat if it is charity. Between his shoulder blades, there will be the Seal of the Prophethood. Go there after my death if you can."
Listening to the words of the priest very carefully, the good gleams of a brand new world, a world of belief and bliss were shining in Salman’s heart and brain.
Now, Salman was looking for a caravan going to Arabia. The rule "he who searches finds" occurred. He found a caravan and they agreed to take him to Arabia in return for money.
They traveled in the scorching desert for days and reached "Wadi al-Qura". The caravan stopped there for a break. Some cruel people of the caravan sold Salman to a Jew as a slave. From then on, Salman was going to live as a slave of a Jew.
However, Salman did not heed slavery; he lived with the excitement caused by the priest all the time. As he worked in the orchard of the Jew, he thought, “I wonder if this is the place between two stony areas.”
Salman worked all the time; he did nothing but what his master ordered. While working in the orchard one day, somebody from the tribe of Banu Qurayzah came. This person, who was very rich, bought Salman from the Jew. Nothing changed for Salman. He was the slave of another master now. However, his new master took him to Madinah. Salman recognized Madinah as soon as he saw it. "The palm groves between two stony areas", which he pursued for years and which he imagined in his mind, was there. Salman did not say anything to anybody though he was in great excitement of the things that took place.  
Years followed years. Time flew and the light that was expected by all beings, people with heart and mind, all civilizations and the universe emerged. It was heard that Hz. Muhammad (pbuh) was given the duty of prophethood. Everybody and everything paid attention to it. Whenever two people came together, they would talk about the lofty prophet who declared his prophethood in Makkah and who prepared that holy and exalted revolution. As Salman listened to what people talked about, he believed that the secret in his heart and consciousness and the knot in his mind would be revealed. He longed to see that exalted prophet, to follow him and to be his servant and slave. In the eye of Salman, life was the expression of conquering something. He had lived with this desire of conquest since his childhood. This desire urged Salman more strongly and severely now. However, he was a slave of somebody and far away from Makkah.
Once, Salman was working in the orchard. His master was having a rest in the shade of a tree. He heard a relative of his master's come by uttering angry words: “God damn it! Do you know what happened?” Salman and his master listened to him carefully. His master asked, “What happened?” The man said, “The man who claimed to be a prophet in Makkah has come here. He is in Quba. A lot of people gathered around him. They were listening to what he said. There is no peace here for us from now on.”
Salman shivered like a person who had a fever. He fell down. He almost fell into the arms of his master. He asked in excitement, wonder and joy, “What did you say? What did you say?” he forgot that he was a slave. His master got furious and kicked him angrily by saying, “What does this matter to you? Why do you interfere leaving your work?" Salman fell down.
Salman did not feel anything. He did not know whether he was alive or not. He did not feel anything but the excitement in his heart, the glad tiding that he had been expecting for years and the longing for the exalted prophet. He wanted to go and see the secrets he kept in his heart be realized. He pinched and saved some money. In the evening when it got dark, he went to Quba secretly. He was in the presence of the Messenger of Allah.  
He said to the Messenger of Allah, "I have heard that you are a righteous person. I have some money that I saved for charity (sadaqah). Will you accept it?"
The Messenger of Allah took it and gave it away to the Companions near him.
Salman did not have much time. He took permission and left. One of the knots in his heart was solved.
He started to save some money again. He found out that the Messenger of Allah had come to Madinah. He wanted to find out whether the Messenger of Allah, who did not eat something given as sadaqah, would eat something given as a gift. He had some time and went to the presence of the Messenger of Allah quickly. He said, “This food is a gift from me.” The Messenger of Allah said, “Bismillah” and ate some of the food he brought and gave the rest to his Companions.
Thus, another secret was solved. He felt himself closer and more attached to the Prophet each time he saw him. With this feeling, he heard a vast wave of joy babbling in him.
Now it was time for the third thing the priest had said: “the Seal of Prophethood”. How was he going to find out about it? How could he see between his two shoulder blades? While he was hesitant and worried, he heard that the Prophet was in the Cemetery of Baqi. He was there for the funeral of one of his Companions who died.  Salman did not want to miss this opportunity. He rushed to the cemetery. He saw the Messenger of Allah talking to his Companions. The Messenger of Allah had a garment of two pieces. Salman greeted them and wanted to move to the back of the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah noticed the curious and panicky state of Salman; the Messenger of Allah let his cloak drop down and enabled Salman to see “the Seal of Prophethood” on his back. Salman threw himself down before the Prophet (pbuh) grabbed his feet and started to cry. The divine enthusiasm and excitement that boiled in his spirit, gurgled in his heart and surrounded his being started to drop on the ground as tears from his eyes, which were the windows of his spirit. He forgot his being in the presence of the Messenger of Allah. He came round when the Prophet addressed him, “Turn toward me.” He woke up from a sweet dream that looked as if it would never end. The nice and bright realm he entered got wider. He felt that the longing in his spirit ended, his questions were answered and his self calmed down. It looked as if the real world belonged to him; everything belonged to him.
His fleeing from his father's house into slavery, trouble and agony was transformed into a sweet and enjoyable pleasure. He attained real freedom and broke the chains in his spirit.
Hz. Salman attained real freedom after becoming a Muslim but his material slavery continued. The Prophet's heart did not want this lone Companion to spend his life as a slave. In that period, slaves could attain their freedom by making a deal with their masters in return for giving them a certain amount of money. The Prophet told Hz. Salman to make a deal like that and attain his freedom
Hz. Salman talked the Jew about the issue but he could not persuade him. Finally, he uttered a price that he believed Salman could not pay. He said he would free him if he grew 300 date trees that gave fruits and gave him 40 okes of gold. This was something that could not happen in a short time under normal circumstances. When the Prophet (pbuh) heard it, he said to his Companions, “Help your brother!” The Companions helped him as much as they could. They brought date seedlings and gave them to Salman.  When 300 fide seedlings were completed, the Prophet (pbuh) said to Salman, “After you dig holes for them, let me know.”
The holes were prepared in a very short time with the help of the Companions. When they were completed, the Prophet (pbuh) was informed. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) planted each seedling with his own blessed hands. The seedlings gave fruit in the same year. Thus, one part of Hz. Salman’s debt was completed thanks to the help of the Muslims and the miracle of the Prophet. However, Salman had not been freed from slavery since the other part of his debt had not been paid. Another miracle took place for the other part of his debt.
Once, the Prophet was sitting with his Companions. A Companion came and gave him a piece of gold as big as an egg to give away to the poor. Stating that sadaqah given to a slave in order to free him is superior to sadaqah given to the poor, the Prophet asked his Companions to find Salman and bring him there. They found him and brought him to the presence of the Messenger of Allah. The Prophet gave the gold to Hz. Salman and said, “Take this gold and pay your debt.  Hz. Salman said, “O Messenger of Allah! This gold is not as heavy as the Jew wants!” The Prophet said,
“Take this. Allah Almighty will surely pay your debt with it.”
Hz. Salman said, “By Allah! I weighed it and it was exactly the same amount as I owed. I took it to my master and was freed from slavery.”
Allah Almighty granted these miracles to the Prophet as an advance payment due to the sincere intention of Hz. Salman and the service he would do for Islam in the future.
After Hz. Salman was freed from slavery, he started to serve the Prophet. He was included among “Ashab as-Suffa”, whose needs were met by Companions and who dedicated themselves to the talks of the Prophet and his lessons. The Prophet made Salman brothers with Abu ad-Darda.
Hz. Salman had a special place in the eye of the Messenger of Allah. The Prophet stated the following in a hadith:
“Allah told me that He loved four people among my Companions specially and ordered me to love them. They are Ali, Miqdad bin Aswad, Salman and Abu Dharr.”
The polytheists could not have a decisive victory at the Battle of Uhud. They were determined to continue their enmity against Islam and Muslims. For, their eyes were covered with the darkness of the polytheism. They could not see the light of Islam. They prepared a crowded army in the 5th year of the Migration. This time, their aim was to eliminate all of the Muslims. It was difficult for the Muslims to stop this ferocious army of the polytheists. On the other hand, Madinah was a city that was open from three sides. Therefore, it was difficult to defend it.  
The Prophet maintained his composure despite this situation. He did not lose his hope. For, he believed that Allah Almighty would help him. However, he did not ignore taking precautions and making preparations. He talked to the people he could talk and did everything that could be done. He talked to his Companions as he always did. They told him about their views one by one. When it was time for Hz. Salman, he expressed his idea as follows:
“O Messenger of Allah! When the cavaliers of the enemy attacked us in Iran, we would sometimes surround the place with a ditch. Can we do it now?”
This idea of Hz. Salman’s was liked by all of the Muslims primarily the Prophet. The Messenger of Allah determined all of the places where the ditches would be dug with Companions. Then, he divided the Muslims into groups and showed them where to dig the ditches. Everybody, Muhajirs and Ansar, young and old alike, took part in the digging.  
While the ditches were being dug, the Prophet prayed as follows: “O Allah! There is no bliss except the bliss in the hereafter. Forgive Ansar and Muhajirs!”
All of the Muslims spoke as follows: “We promised to the Messenger of Allah to make jihad in the way of Allah as long as we lived.”
Salman al-Farisi was in the same group as Amr bin Awf, Hudhayfa bin Yaman, Numan bin Muqarrin and some other Companions in the act of digging ditches. He had a strong body and he was experienced. He could dig a place that 10 people could dig on his own.  
The Muslims competed to adopt Salman since he offered such a form of defense when the ferocious polytheists attacked Madinah. Muhajirs regarded him as a Muhajir by saying, “Salman is one of us.” Ansar said, "Salman is one of us; we deserve it more to adopt him." When the Prophet heard this discussion between Ansar and Muhajirs, he stated the following, which pleased everybody:
“Salman is one of us. He is one of the People of the House (Ahl al-Bayt).”
When Hz. Salman heard this glad tiding, he became very happy. He was on the air. It was such a great bliss to be of Ahl al-Bayt.
While the Companions were digging ditches, the group in which Hz. Salman was confronted a big rock. The Companions tried very hard to break it but they could not do it. All of their tools were broken. Thereupon, Hz. Salman went to the presence of the Messenger of Allah and said, “O Messenger of Allah! May our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you! We confronted a white rock in the middle of the ditch. We broke all of our axes and sledgehammers while trying to break it. We could not break it. What shall we do? Shall we change the line you drew? What do you order us to do?”
The Prophet asked Salman to show him the rock. They showed it. The Messenger of Allah took the sledgehammer of Salman al-Farisi and entered into the ditch. He hit the rock hard with the sledgehammer. One part of the rock was broken and a light (lightning) enlightened the two rocky areas of Madinah. The Prophet said, “Allahu Akbar!" The Companions also said, “Allahu Akbar!" The Messenger of Allah hit the rock again. One more part of the rock was broken and a light was emitted from it. Both the Prophet and Companions said, “Allahu Akbar!" When the Prophet hit the rock again, the rock was broken into pieces. A light appeared again. When the Prophet said, “Allahu Akbar!", the Companions also said, “Allahu Akbar!"  Then, Salman held the Prophet's hand and helped him out of the ditch. Then, he asked the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah! May my mother and father be sacrificed for you! I saw some lights coming out of the rock when you hit it. What were they?"

The Life of The Prophet Muhammad(pbuh): First Migration, the Year of Sorrow, the Splitting of the Moon
Second Caravan of Muslims Migrate to Abyssinia
7th Year of the prophethood (Year 616)
The king of Abyssinia welcomed the first procession of Muslims in a very fine manner. The Muslims finally had the opportunity to freely worship in a state of peace.
When the Master of the Universe (PBUH) heard this, he suggested that the remaining Muslims in Mecca emigrate as well.
The second procession that set off headed by Hazrat Jafar, the son of our Holy Prophet’s uncle, Abu Talib, was much more crowded than the first one. A group of 92 people, ten of them being women, left Mecca for Abyssinia for the purpose of safeguarding their faith and being able to worship in peace.
While the Muslims emigrated, our Holy Prophet (PBUH) remained in Mecca despite everything. He continued to stand up against the torture and persecution that were continuously committed by the polytheists. He pursued his holy and sublime duty under Allah’s protection and grace. 
Polytheists in search of Muhajirs!
The polytheists of Quraysh panicked when the Muslims migrated to Abyssinia in succession. They did not intend to stop following the Muslims who were living abroad. They worried about the spread of Islam in these kinds of countries and about this glorious faith coming to a state in which it would be insurmountable. Nevertheless, for as long as the Muslims were under the asylum of the King of Abyssinia, it would be much easier for Arabia to be under Islam’s bosom. In this way, the barriers they attempted to place before Islam would be razed to the ground.
The dissatisfied and worried polytheists spoke among themselves and decided to request from the King of Abyssinia that he return the Muslims who had migrated. 
They assigned Amr bin As and Abdullah bin Abi Rabia as their envoys. Their plan was this:
They were going to take valuable gifts to Najashi (the King of Abyssinia) and the other leading figures. The gifts would first be given to the government officials and the polytheists’ wishes would be presented. Afterwards, they would present their gift to the King.
Their purpose behind their plan was this:
By presenting their gifts to the government officials first, they would receive support from the government officials; thus, no chance would be given to the King to talk to the Muslim refugees.
When the envoys went to Abyssinia, they applied their plan.
As they presented their gifts to the government officials, they said:
“Some members of our youth have separated from the path of their forefathers. They have not converted to your faith; they have emerged with a brand new religion. Currently, they are under the sanctuary of your King. We were sent by our tribe to request their return. When we convey our wish to the King, help us by not allowing a chance for the King to speak with the Muslims. Support us in the matter of their surrendering and say: “They obviously know more about and are better acquainted with those who are from among them. They can see their faults better than anyone else.”
The courtiers were deceived by the valuable gifts and promised to support the polytheists.
The envoys went to the presence of the King and expressed their wish:
“O, King! These people, who have left us and have ruined our working order, have come here to damage your religion, country, and society. We came to warn you regarding this matter. They do not recognize Jesus, the Son of Mary, as God’s son. They do not bow down before you when they are in your presence. Return them to us and we will deal with them.” 
As is seen, the envoys expressed their wish in a very sly manner. They knew the King was a Christian and for that reason, they tried to win the King over through this point by saying, “They do not recognize Jesus, the Son of Mary, as God’s son” so that he would be angered.
The courtiers supported what the emissaries said in accordance with plan: “O King, they speak the truth. Of course, they are better acquainted and know them better than anyone else. They can see what faults they have more clearly. Let us surrender the Muslims to them so that they can take them back to their own homeland and tribe.”
While the government officials were sanguinely expecting the King to say, “yes” to their request, Najashi angrily said, “By God, no. I will not surrender those who are helpless, who have settled in my country, and have preferred me to others. I will not make my decision without first talking to them. If the matter is as the envoys say it is, then, I will surrender them and have them return to their homeland. If it is just the opposite, then I will protect and look after them in the best manner.” 
Later, Najashi invited the Muslims to come by sending an inviter. The refugees chose Hazrat Jafar as their representative and went to the palace all together.
The priests that Najashi had invited were inside along with the representatives of the Quraysh.
Hazrat Jafar greeted Najashi when he went amid his presence; however, he did not prostrate before him.
When the courtiers asked Hazrat Jafar, “Why did you not bow down before the King?” he answered,
“We only bow before Allah.”
“Why?” they asked again.
“Allah has sent His Messenger to us and His Messenger has prohibited us from bowing down before anyone other than Allah.”
Upon this, the representatives said, “O King, had we not explained their condition to you?”
Najashi turned to the Muslims and asked, “Why did you come to my country? What state are you in? You are not merchants and you do not seem to want anything. In that case, why did you come to my country? What kind of state is your Prophet in? Explain me why you do not greet me like your countrymen do.”
Before answering these questions, Hazrat Jafar said, “O King, I am going to say three things. If I speak the truth, then affirm what I say; and if I lie, then disaffirm my words. Firstly, command one of these representatives to speak and the other to remain silent!”
Amr bin As was the representative who chose to speak. Upon this, Hazrat Jafar addressed Najashi, “Ask this man if we are slaves who are to be returned to our masters?”
Najashi asked, “O Amr, are they slaves?”
Amr replied, “No, they are dignified free men.”
This time, Hazrat Jafar said, “Ask this man whether we have shed anyone’s blood unjustly and if we are to be given back to those whose blood we have shed?”
“O Amr, have they shed anyone’s blood unjustly?” asked Najashi.
Amr responded, “No, they have not shed a single drop of blood.”
Hazrat Jafar turned towards Najashi once more, “Have we taken goods from the community unjustly, do we have any goods that we are obliged to pay for?”
Najashi said, “O Amr, if these poor men have any debt amounting to one qantar (about 50 kg) of gold then I will pay it off.”
Amr replied, “No, they do not have a carat’s worth of debt!”
Upon this, Najashi asked, “In that case, what do you want from these men?”
Amr responded, “We used to follow the same religion. They left our faith and have submitted to Muhammad’s religion.”
This time Najashi turned to Hazrat Jafar and asked, “Why did you leave a thing that you were committed to for another? Considering that you have separated from the religion of your tribe and do not follow my religion or that of another people’s, what is this religion that you have joined?”
Hazrat Jafar deemed it more suitable to start explaining from the beginning, “O King, we were an ignorant people. We used to worship idols and eat carrion. We used to commit any kind of wrong deed that comes to the mind. We would break off ties with our parents and relatives, harm our neighbors, and oppress the weak. While we were in this state, Allah sent us a Prophet from among ourselves. A prophet whose progeny, integrity, trustworthiness, honor, and purity we knew of. He called us to believe in the existence and oneness of Allah, to worship Him, and to abandon the idols that both we and our forefathers worshipped. He commanded us to be forthright, to deliver all that has been entrusted to us to their rightful places, to protect the rights of our relatives, to get along with our neighbors, and to avoid sins and bloodshed. He prohibited us from fornication, lies, encroaching upon the rights of orphans, and slandering honorable women. We have testified to him and his cause. We have submitted to what he brings from Allah and makes known to us. For that reason, our tribe has treated us like an enemy and has tortured us. They inflicted all kinds of torture and persecution to dissuade us from our religion, hinder us from worshipping Allah, and to make us worship their idols. Due to all of these reasons, we abandoned our homeland and homes and came to your country. We sought shelter from you and preferred you to others. We hope not to face torture and injustice in your presence.” 
Afterwards, Hazrat Jafar responded to the King’s question as to why he did not bow down before him:
“When it comes to the matter of greeting you, we have greeted you with the greeting of Allah’s Apostle. We always greet one another in this manner. We learned from our Prophet (PBUH) that those who will enter Paradise will greet one another in this fashion. For that reason, we have greeted you in this way. When it comes to the matter of prostration, we prostrate before Allah and we take refuge in Allah from bowing down before anyone else.” 
Hazrat Jafar’s words had a very deep impact on Najashi. The polytheists just stood there in silence.
After thinking for some time, Najashi turned to Hazrat Jafar and said, “Do you have anything with you with regards to what you have mentioned?”
“Yes, we do” replied Hazrat Jafar and he followed by reciting the first portion of Surah Maryam: Kaf. Ha. Ya. `Ayn. Sad. (This is) a recital of the Mercy of thy Lord to His Servant Zakariya. Behold! He cried to his Lord in secret. Praying: "O my Lord! Infirm indeed are my bones, and the hair of my head doth glisten with grey: but never am I unblest O my Lord, in my prayer to Thee!” 
The verses that follow explain how Hazrat Maryam became pregnant to Hazrat Isa (Jesus), how Hazrat Isa came into this world, one of his miracles in which he spoke in his cradle, and how he was sent as a Prophet by Allah.
The verses that were read had enough influence over Najashi’s inner world to cause tears to fall from his eyes. In fact, his falling tears ended up soaking his beard. The priests who were present could not help crying, either.
After Najashi’s spirit, which had been affected by the spiritual charm of the Holy Quran, soothed, he said, “By God, this is a Light that emanates from the same lamp with which Moses and Jesus came.”
After making this truthful confession, he turned to the polytheists, “By God, I will not submit them to you nor will I think badly about them in anyway.” 
The representatives did not have any choice in the face of Najashi’s unexpected decision but to leave the palace in a state of disappointment.
Despite this, the representatives, Amr bin As in particular, said they were not going to give up and decided to apply new tactics.
The next day, he came to Najashi’s presence and explained that the Muslims had said strange things about Hazrat Isa.
The King once again deemed it suitable to talk to the Muslims and invited them to his presence. He asked Hazrat Jafar, “What do you think of Hazrat Isa?”
Thus he replied:
“We say whatever our Prophet (PBUH) has brought from Allah and made known to us regarding Hazrat Isa. He is a servant of Allah, a Messenger, and a soul that Allah has sent. He is one of Allah’s words given to Mary, a virtuous virgin who renounced men (meaning that he was born through Allah’s command, “Kun.”)The glory and state of Jesus, the Son of Mary, consists of this.” 
The knowledge the Muslims had on Hazrat Isa made Najashi very happy. He took a stick in his hands, drew a line on the ground, and said, “The difference between your religion and ours is as much as this line. Besides, we do not view the matter any differently than what you say.” 
The deputies were left bitterly disappointed as they had been expecting Najashi to retract his asylum.
Najashi turned to the Muslims and said, “I congratulate you and the individual whom you follow for he is Allah’s Messenger. Besides, we had read about his qualities in the Bible. Mary’s son, Jesus, had also given good tidings about this Messenger to humanity. I swear to God that if he was found in my country that I would carry his shoes and wash his feet.” 
After his words that accepted the prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), the Negus, who saw and understood the truth, stated the following about his attitude toward Muslims from then on as follows:
“Go! Live peacefully and safely in the area of my country that remains untouched and is secure from invasion. Whoever harms you will be perished. (He repeated this three times.) Even if I knew that I could attain a mountain’s worth of gold for hurting the feelings of one of you, I still would not make such an attempt.” 
The deputies did not have any other choice but to return to Mecca after Najashi’s decisive and conclusive words. In fact, the King even returned the gifts they had brought.
When the polytheists of the Quraysh heard this, they were greatly distressed. It could be considered that their fears came true!
Muhajirs Return to Makkah
Despite the fact that Muslims were saved from the persecution and torture of the polytheists and attained the opportunity to freely fulfill their religious duties, they were still living in a foreign place that was far from their motherland in which they were born and raised. This situation saddened them.
About three months after the last procession, they received news that a few of the leading figures from the Quraysh had become Muslims. The conversion of the leading figures meant that the polytheists had submitted to Islam as a whole.
Upon hearing the news, with the assumption that Mecca was no longer a place in which they would be persecuted and insulted, a procession of 39 individuals, six of them being women, set off to return to their motherland. However, when they neared Mecca, they learned that this news was groundless. However, turning back would be very difficult.
In order to enter Mecca, they would have to be under the protection of their polytheist relatives and friends or they would have to ensure that no one could see them. Openly entering the city meant being submitted to the hands of the merciless enemy. Taking this into consideration, some of them preferred being under the sanctuary of their relatives and friends temporarily whereas some others entered the city in secrecy without the need to seek refuge.
Some of them returned to Abyssinia and remained there until the other Muslims migrated to Madina. Some joined the Muslims in Madina after the Hijra while the other Muslims remained in Abyssinia for a long period of time.
Those who returned to Mecca did not leave Mecca until the Hijra to Madina occurred; their faithful hearts shielded them, and helped them zealously persevere with the polytheists’ persecution and torture.

The first condition of being a Muslim is to have belief in the Oneness of Allah Almighty. And to affirm the prophethood of the last Prophet.
The Holy Prophet (pbuh) came after all Prophets and Messengers. The order of prophethood that began with Prophet Adam ended with Prophet Mohammad (pbuh). The guidance of previous Prophets was limited to a specific area or country. But the guidance of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is universal.

Jesus (peace be upon him)  One of the Mightiest Messengers of God
Quick Introduction
Prophet Jesus sent to Israel and the Holy Quran also reported the name of the prophet. He is the fifth of the six prophets, who are the highest among the prophets and are called the Ululazm. His mother is Hazrat Maryam. Allah created him without a father. He was born in Jerusalem. He became a prophet at the age of thirty. The book called the Bible was sent to him. At the age of thirty-three, he was raised to heaven alive. He will descend on the earth close to the doomsday.
Tumblr media
Hazrat Maryam – Mother of Jesus (PBUH)
Maryam Hatun, mother of Jesus (PBUH), was a righteous and clean lady from the descendants of Suleiman aleyhisselam. When Hazrat Maryam was fifteen years old, she was engaged to a person named Yusuf-i Neccar. But before marrying him, Allah announced that he would give a child without a father to Hazrat Maryam.
The Birth of Jesus (PBUH)
Hazrat Maryam, with the command and power of Allah, became pregnant with Jesus. After a while, normal pregnancies began to appear. Seeing these situations, the Israelites began to gossip. They made various slanders and said things that would not come to mind and would not be taken into account. Unable to tolerate these rumors, Hazrat Maryam retreated to Bayt-i Lahm, a quiet town about 10 km south of Jerusalem. Considering that everything happened with the discretion and can of Allah, she was patient with people's words about herself.
As the birth of Jesus (PBUH) approached, she came under a dried date palm tree while walking in the garden of his place. She leaned against this tree as her labor pains intensified. The dried date palm tree on which he leaned turned green. Although the season was winter, it bore fruit. Under his feet, a little water channel began to flow. This situation comforted Hazrat Maryam. Meanwhile, Hazrat Isa came to the world. When Jesus (PBUH) was born, all idols within the east and west were destroyed and fell to the bottom . The demons were surprised by this situation. Finally, their elders, Iblis, informed them that Jesus (PBUH) had come to the world. When he was born, a great star appeared in the sky.
Tumblr media
Jesus Talks in the lap of Mary
The Israelites, who learned that the Prophet Jesus was born, came to Bayt-i Lahm. When saw the newborn child in the lap of Hazrat Maryam, they said;
“O Mary! What is this? You came here doing a really ugly job. Where did you get this child, even though you were a very young girl but without a husband? What a wonder and wonder is this? "
The Holy Virgin listened patiently to all or any that was said. She didn't answer at all. But; pointed to the Prophet Jesus.
“Let him inform you of the reality of the matter. Talk to him. Ask him and understand! "
When they said that the child in the arson could not speak, Jesus Christ, who was in the arson, raised his hand and said:
“O ignorant ones! Do not attack my high reputation and condemn my mother. Surely, I am the servant of Allah. He will give me the book and make me a Prophet. Wherever I was, he made me blessed and ordered me to pray and give zakat as long as I was alive. He made me respectful of my mother ... On the day I was born, on the day I die, and on the day, I will be lifted alive, my salvation is upon me. "
The Israelites, who were amazed at how Prophet Jesus spoke, seemed to swallow their tongues. They couldn't say anything. Despite this, they did not refrain from making the said-code and making various slanders. They did not hesitate to make various slanders.
Life Before Prophethood
The governor of Damascus of the Roman emperor wanted to kill the two of them because he was born without a father. His mother took him to Egypt. They stayed in Egypt until the Prophet Jesus was twelve years old. Then they came to Jerusalem again and settled in the city of Nasıra.
Prophethood and the Background of Killing Plan
When he turned thirty, he was declared a Prophet by the will of God. When his prophetic order was announced, he immediately started preaching. He wanted people to believe in Allah and to follow His orders and avoid his prohibitions and rebellion.
The Israelites did not accept this invitation. Jesus (PBUH) showed miracles to non-believers. Although Jesus (PBUH) made a great effort, very few people believed. Just as the Israelites didn't believe him, they opposed his invitation and have become angry day by day. Seeing the softness of Jesus Christ, they did not believe. They even went further and attempted to kill the Prophet Jesus. Thereupon, the Prophet Jesus took a word from the twelve people named as apostles, whom he chose among those who believed in him, that they would believe and worship Allah and help him.
Tumblr media
Killing Plan
A group of Jews spoke to Isa (PBUH) and his mother Hazrat Maryam. When Jesus (PBUH) heard this, he made a curse about them. Allah accepted this prayer and turned those who prolonged his tongue to Jesus and his mother into monkeys and pigs.
Seeing this situation, the Jews discussed the event among them. All of them agreed to kill the Prophet Jesus. They started looking for Prophet Jesus. They tricked the Roman Emperor's Governor of Jerusalem Jones Pilot to believe that Jesus was against the Roman Empire which he was trying to determine a replacement government in Palestine.
The Last Talks of Jesus (PBUH)
For the last time, Jesus had a secret conversation with his Apostles one night and said to them, “Before the rooster crows (that is, before the morning) one of you will deny me and sell me for small money.”. In fact, the Apostle named Yahuda took some money from the Jews before morning. He informed the whereabouts of the Prophet Jesus.
So-Called Crucifixion
When Jesus entered the house with the Jews to catch the Prophet, Allah likened Yehuda to Isa. The Jews also caught him, saying Jesus (PBUH), and killed him by hanging him on the cross (crucifixion). Allah raised Jesus (PBUH) to heaven. Jesus (PBUH) was thirty-three years old at this point.
The Events after Jesus (PBUH)
Forty years after Jesus (PBUH) was raised to heaven, the Romans attacked Jerusalem. They killed most of the Jews and captured some of them. They plundered the city. They burned their books. As punishment for what they did against Jesus, they became despicable.
Christians’ Belief Vs. Muslims’ Belief
Christians believe that Jesus (PBUH) fell to the cross and died there, but then rose to heaven.
Muslims, on the other hand, believe that Jesus alaihis-salam was lifted directly to the sky.
This matter Quran 'In the 158th verse of the chapter of an-Nisa, it is stated as follows:
“They did not hang him, they did not kill him. On the contrary, Allah raised him to his level.”
In addition, it was stated in the hadiths:
“Jesus (aleyhisselam) did not die. He will return to you before doomsday. ",
"I am the closest of the son of Mary to Jesus (aleyhisselam) within the world and therefore the hereafter."
" there's no other prophet between me and Jesus (aleyhisselam) ."
The Start of Misconceptions about Jesus
Allah raised Isa as well as Idris at the age of 33. He invited people to religion for three years. Upon his will, the Apostles scattered around. They started to tell people about Christianity. It took 80 years for this true religion to spread.
Then Christians were perverted. Bible has changed. Just as the Jews slandered the Holy Virgin and Jesus, Christians got stuck in three wrong beliefs about him.
Some of them, "The son of Mary is God." said. Some say, "He is the son of God." said. Another group said, "He is one of the father, son and spirituality".
The Return of Jesus
Jesus aleyhisselam never married. He did not give value to the world. He will go down to the minaret of the Umayya Mosque in Damascus close to Doomsday, get married and have children. He will meet with Hazrat Mahdi, he will live for 40 years, die in Madinah, and be buried in the cell where the Prophet’s grave is located. He will be subject to the provisions of the religion of Islam and he will be judgmental.
European Books about Islamic Year and Christmas Night
It is written in European books that Plato died 347 years BC. Since Jesus (PBUH) came to the world secretly, remained a little in the world, and was raised to heaven, and only twelve apostles knew him and the Christians lived secretly for a couple of centuries, that is, Christmas night wasn't understood correctly.
It is written in books in various languages that the current Islamic year is less than five years, as it is supposed to be the twenty-fifth of the first law (December) or the sixth or other day of the second law (January). In that case, the Islamic year is not correct and definite, and its day and year are doubtful and wrong.
According to what Imam-i Rabbani (kuddis sirruh) and Burhan-ı Kati report, the Greek philosopher Plato lived in the time of Jesus aleyhisselam.According to this, the Islamic calendar is incomplete for more than 300 years, and therefore the time between Isa and Muhammad aleyhisselam isn't but a thousand years.
The Miracles of Jesus (PBUH)
There were nine types of miracles:
1.  1.   He spoke in his cradle.
2.  2.  He raised the dead. It is especially famous that he resurrected four dead. These are Sam bin Nuh, Shaddad bin Ad, Masan bin Malan and a child from Bani Israel.
3.  3. It would make the blind ones see as if they are healthy, and it would cure the baras disease, which is a skin disease. It would be nice if he touched the patient with his hand. He was called Isa-i Messiah because he cured the patients by anointment together with his hand. (Surat al-Maida: 110)
4.   4. As stated in the 49th verse of the chapter of Iml-i Imran, he informed about the things that his people ate or hid for eating.
5.   5. As stated within the 110th verse of chapter al-Maida, when a bird was made up of mud and blown thereon, it might become a bird with the permission of Allah.
6.   6. As stated in the 114th verse of chapter al-Maida, the Apostles offered to bring down a table containing food. When the Prophet Jesus raised his hands and prayed, a table with bread and meat came down.
7.    7. When Jesus was asleep, he knew everything that was spoken and done with him.
8.   8. Whenever he wanted, when he raised his hands to the sky and prayed, food and fruit would come before him.
9.   9. Jesus (PBUH) knew his words and secrets even though he was far from the Jews (Bani Israel).
The religion of Jesus Christ; Christianity:
The religion of Moses (peace be upon him) continued until the time of Jesus (PBUH). But when Jesus aleyhisselam came, it was not permissible to follow the religion of Moses, and until the religion of Muhammad aleyhisselam came, it was necessary to obey the religion of Jesus.
The Negative Role of Paul
Paul, one of the notables of the Jews and one of the greatest enemies of the Christians, made up the lie that he accepted Christianity and that
Jesus
(PBUH) made himself a lie to invite non-Jewish nations to Christians. He changed his name to Pavlos (Bolus). Appearing as a very good Isevi, he broke the religion of
Jesus
(PBUH). Tawhid (belief in one God), trinity (belief in three gods = Father-son-holy spirit); He converted Christianity to Christianity. Bible changed.
Jesus
is the son of God, he said.
Quotes of Jesus (PBUH)
“World love is the head of all evil. The eye gaze magnifies lust in the heart. (The greedy makes a person insatiable.) I swear that lust (to obey the desires of the soul) leaves its owner long-lasting trouble. Look through the world. Do not bother with repairs."
“Who wants the world is like those who drink sea water. The more he drinks, the more his thirst will increase, and eventually he will die. "
"Good news to those that cry once they remember their sins, who protect their tongue and who have enough house to stay their heads."
“The most beloved thing in the sight of Allah is righteous hearts. Allah keeps the world alive for their sake. When they are destroyed, they destroy the earth."
“Trees are many, but not all bear fruit. Fruits are many, but not all are sweet. The sciences are many, but not all of them are useful. "
“I cured the deaf and dumb, I revived the dead. But I could not find the cure of Jahl-i inkb (thinking ignorance of science and maturity). (Because that nobody is as if the knowledge and ripeness of ignorance.)
