Mubarak ho Khatmul Mursaleen tashreef le-aye
Muslims all around the world celebrate Prophet Muhmmad (PBUH) birthday on 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal every year. In Pakistan it is specially celebrated with full zeal and zest. The mosques, buildings, homes and markets are decorated with colorful lights and flags. In Quran Allah says “Undoubtedly the light has come to you from Allah and the bright book” (Surah Al-‘Mai’dah’ 15). We are so lucky that we are the Umati of prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Now let’s come towards the recent statement of TTP spokesperson Harasani who tried to justify their carnage of Peshawar children by giving reference of Sahi Bukhari hadith that Prophet Muhammad PBUH had ordered to kill children of Banu Kareeza. Before going to explain this hadith let me quote one ayat of Quran in which Allah says “And we have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” (Al-Anbiyaa’: 107). Prophet Muhammad PBUH was not only merciful towards Muslims but also towards non Muslims. As we all know about the old lady used to throw garbage on prophet and later accepted Islam. How Prophet Muhamamd (PBUH) can order to kill children?
History is full of examples of Prophet Muhamamd (PBUH) kindness, sympathy, compassion and love towards children. Once on Eid day Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saw a little boy sitting on his way, looking so sad . The prophet (PBUH) bent down and asked him why are you so sad ? The little boy replied, my father passed away and my mother has married again and my stepfather doesn’t want me to live with them any more. Today on Eid day all the children have new clothes except me, this makes me sad. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said ‘I know how you feel because I also lost both my father and mother when I was of your age. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) took him home and gave him new clothes and food. Prophet asked the boy ‘if I become your father and Ayesha your mother, and Fatima your sister, would that make you feel better?’ ‘Oh yes, that would be the best thing in the world!’ boy replied.
Banu Kareeza was one of the Jew tribe living in Madinah who was bound under agreement of Madinah with Muslims , for not supporting any outsider invasion from Quresh. Banu Kareeza broke their agreement at time of Ghazwa-e-Khandaq and they supported Quresh and other tribe of Jews like Banu Nazeer against Muslims. At the end of Gazwa-e-Khandaq Prophet Muhamamd PBUH instead of taking revenge from them decided to make a peace agreement , but all went in vein as instead of making agreement they started abusing Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) . Hence denied to make any peace agreement. As a result they were surrounded for 25 days and at last they accepted defeat and asked whatever Sa’d ibn Mu’adh (RA) decides will be accepted. Sa’d ibn Mu’adh (RA) decided to kill all the participants of war except children and women as It was according to their Holy book Torat Prophet Muhamamd PBUH also agreed with this decision.
What type of mindset TTP spokesperson have is now very much clear. They quoted wrong references to legalize their action of Peshawar massacre. They have been now clearly identified as hypocrites and inshAllah will be trampled. In the end I would like to quote Iqbal , Ki Muhammad(PBUH) se wafa to Ham tere hein Yeh Jahan hahi cheez kia looh-o- Kalam Tere Hein.
