Allah has made us realize, "Who brought His Prophet (saw) safe and sound at the time of migration?" Olive oil was used to be brought from Syria. The olive tree, its fruit as well as its oil is blessed. The Holy Prophet (saw) has said, "Eat and apply the olive oil to your bodies." The Noble Quran describes the olive oil in a big example. This time when the Syrian traders brought oil, they also brought the news, "The Roman Christian Empire has made preparations to attack the Muslims. An army of forty thousand soldiers has reached the boundary." It was 9 A H. The Muslims had nearly purified the land of Arabia. A young Muslim SAHABI (RA) Ataab bin Asid was the governor of Makkah. The wars of Hunain and Ta'if had also ended. It was very hot. The dates were ripe. The sun was intense and the shady places were pleasant. There were some signs of draught and starvation also. On the other had, there was the awe of the super power government of Roman Empire. This was the last period of the height of good luck of the Muslims. The Holy Prophet (saw) was present overhead. The last two years of his (saw) sacred life, Allah-o-Akbar! The order was given, "Start off all. No one may remain behind." The mosque of Madina began to echo with the slogan . The encounter is to be with the super power of Rome and attack is to be made before they can attack. The Noble Quran is shedding the showers of light "Why is Jihad with the Christians inevitable?" How filthy and wicked are these people? They, God forbids, prescribe son for Allah. They fill the earth with economic imbalance. Their religious leadership is in the hands of the greedy people who sell commands. O Muslims! Fight them and snatch away the power from them. All these verses are there in the Surah At-Taubah. O yes, the Surah At-Taubah whom the rulers of Pakistan have excluded from the syllabus books. But this Surah is present and will remain present in the Noble Quran. This is the word of Allah. No evil-monger can harm it. The fortunate Muslims will keep acting upon Surah At-Taubah and will keep succeeding by the grace of Allah. The battle of Tabook was very strange. This was last battle of the Holy Prophet (saw). O yes, it was the last Islamic army whom the Holy Prophet (saw) led. Thirty thousand Muslims took part in this battle. When he (saw) issued the general pronouncement, people were divided into six categories. The Noble Quran described all these kinds. The one who took part in Jihad with great zeal and zest i.e. Hazrat Siddique-i-Akbar brought all his belongings. Allah-o-Akbar! When Siddique-i-Akbar(RA) embraced Islam, he was a big millionaire who possessed forty thousand Dirhams. Then this wealth was spent on Din, on the Holy Prophet (saw), and on getting the slaves released. He bought two camels for 800/= Dirhams for migration. He had saved 5000/= Dirham at the time of migration which he took with him to serve the Holy Prophet (saw). Then the land for Masjad-i-Nabvi was purchased. When he (RA) died, according to Hazrat Ayesha (RA), he (RA) had not a single Dirham on him.

Hazrat Faqooq-e-Azam (RA) brought half the belongings, Hazrat Usman (RA) and Hazrat Abdul-Rehman Bin Auf (RA) brought big amounts. Hazrat Abu Aqeel Ansari (RA) kept working in a field the whole night; got two kg. dates and offered them to the Holy Prophet (saw). The first category was of the people who were themselves rushing forward with maximum goods. The second category was of the people whom the world attracted to itself for a while. Then their belief overpowered them and they began to rush out to participate in the Islamic army. The third category was of the people who were upset, weeping, crying and sighing but were unable to go. Some had no sources and the others were unable to move. The fourth category was of the Muslims who fell a prey to lethargy. They confessed their mistake and offered themselves for punishment. The fifth kind was those of the hypocrites. They coined ever new lame excuses and refused to take part in Jihad. The sixth category was of the hypocrites who wanted to work as spies and had joined the Islamic army to harm the Holy Prophet (saw). Allah revealed verses about all kinds of people.

It is a long topic. Today, I am to say that the pronouncement for the battle of Tabook was issued. Some people were showing negligence and were perturbed at the same time. At that time, the Noble Quran reminded them a nine years and six months old incident. O, yes, the incident of the migration of the Holy Prophet (saw) to Madina and made the people understand that neither the Noble Quran nor the Holy Prophet (saw) was dependant upon them. If do not come out for Jihad, they will cause their own loss and will be deprived of the grand paradise and will become the idiots who sacrifice the immortal to the moral life. Allah will suffer no loss due to it. At the time of migration, there was only one companion Hazrat Siddique-e-Akbar (RA) with him. You see how Allah assisted them at that time and took His Prophet (saw) to Madina safe and sound.
The fortieth verse of Surah At-Taubah reminds us the strange incident of migration and invites the Muslims to Jihad and sacrifice. Hazrat Siddique-e-Akbar (RA) stood glorious and successful at the night of migration and on the day of the battle of Tabook also. Hazrat Siddique-i-Akbar (RA) sacrificed every thing for Din. Allah did not deprive him of anything in the world and ordained a very high position for him in the Next World. At the time of migration, his belief showed so great wonders that the angels were wonder-struck. He was under a strange state when he (RA) was going to the cave Thaur. Sometimes he walked to the front of the Holy Prophet (saw), sometimes to the rear, sometimes to the right and left. When he (saw) asked, he (RA) said, "I am doing so lest the enemy should attack you from any side" and said, "I wish to save you at the cost of my life." Moreover he said, "If I am killed, it will be the loss of only one individual. If you (saw) are killed the entire Ummah will be ruined". Then he swept out the cave Thaur and a snake bit him. Once he (RA) carried the Holy Prophet (saw) on his shoulder and walked on tip toes to hide the marks of foot prints due to which his feet were injured.

Ah sacrifice! All of Hazrat Siddique's (RA) exhaustion and injuries ended up and the time of rewards and blessings started. The people who want to have all the luxuries in this life and also those who are spoiling their lives sleeping on the beds, should meditate and ponder of a while. The point under discussion was that when the incident of migration was made to remind at the time of the battle of Tabook, there were numerous philosophies hidden in it. The incident of migration has special efficacy to prepare the people to sacrifice. There is also the lesson in it that the Muslims should learn a lesson from the details of migration. Now-a-days, many such spectacles spread all around us which injure our hearts. In this situation, the incident of migration serves as a balm for the injuries. Actually, the unbelievers in their fallacy had wiped out Islam at the night of migration. It is written in the books of history that when one hundred unbelievers were surrounding the house of the Holy Prophet (saw), Abu Jehal was beside himself with delight. He was laughing and saying to his companions, "Muhammad used to say: My companions (RA) will overpower you. They will kill you. You will go to hell and they will enter paradise. Lo! See, now, all is going to end up today." The pagans would not wipe out Islam at the night of migration when this end was at the distance of one stroke of sword and apparently, there was not a slight chance of his (saw) escape. But Allah saved him (saw). Now, who can wipe out Din? O, yes, when the unbelievers create the situation with their talk, it seems that Islam and Din will come to an end. as America will drop a bomb at Waziristan and it will end up, then she will drop an atom bomb at Afghanistan and it will end up. But all these are the things to speak of. The Americans have been so much got entangled in Iraq that they do not find any way to return. The operators of the atom bomb know well with which nation they are facing. The planes of 9/11 could drop at any Atomic Reactor Plant of America. The Muslims, Allah be praised, are so secure that no one can wipe them out. They are not the Japanese that they will sit idle after receiving the atom bomb explosion. This is the nation that pays every debt of the enemy. The people, who dreamt of wiping the Muslims out in the past, are themselves no more now. You can go and search the bones of the Tartars before whom the people had yielded considering them  in a small country like Magnolia.

When today, I saw some pictures and read the news in the newspaper, I recalled the incident of migration. Dar-un-Nadwah was the NATO headquarters of the polytheists of Makkah. There the discussion was what should be done of Muhammad (saw). At last, it was settled that one young man from every tribe should be chosen and all of those should attack unanimously. In this way, the people of his (saw) tribe would not be able to fight all. At last the decision would be "The compensation for man-slaughter" which all the tribes would pay collectively. From that Dar-un-Nadwah, an army of the united forces came out and they besieged the house of the Holy Prophet (saw). He (saw) and Hazrat Ali (RA) were present in the house.
Whenever such a meeting is held anywhere in the world now, the night of migration comes to the mind. On that night, the Holy Prophet (saw) was besieged. Now the Din of today and the followers of Holy Prophet (saw) are besieged and the unbelievers and the polytheists have that same kind of intentions. But Allah is the protector of His Din and the Muslims. That (DARUN-NADWAH) was occupied by the Muslims in 8 AH. During the reign of Hazrat Mua'awia, its owner sold it out and spent the whole wealth in the way of Allah. All the headquarters where the super powers of the world sit and talk of wiping out Islam and Muslims, will, by the grace of Allah, come under the occupation of the Muslims. The only condition is that the Muslims may not remain sticking to their houses rather they revive migration and Jihad. Now when the killers of the Muslims stand at the door of Holy Ka'ba and let their photosgraphs drawn, a twitching grips the hearts of the Muslims that Mulla Muhammad Umar cannot go to Ka'ba. Many Mujahid Muslims cannot go to Ka'ba. But the killers of the Muslims go there whenever they like. Its answer also reminds us the incident of migration. The Holy Prophet with tears in his eyes, was leaving Makkah because he (saw) was constrained to leave it. He addressed Makkah and said:

"O Makkah, you are very pure and dear to me. If my nation had not driven me out, I would not have settled anywhere else than you."

Abu Jehal and other polytheists were the superintendents of the Holy Ka'ba and he (saw) was hiding himself in the cave of Thaur. Then he could not come to Ka'ba for ten years. The Holy Ka'ba has itself seen many such spectacles. The servant of Ka'ba and the pious person Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair was hanging near Ka'ba and the cruel and oppressor Hajjaj bin Yousaf became the ruler of Ka'ba. The uncle of the Holy Prophet (saw), before embracing Islam, had come with the army of the unbelievers in the battle of Badr. Hazrat Ali (RA) said to him, "O Uncle, if you had embraced Islam, you would have found the rewards of migration. The situation became tense between the uncle and the nephew and Hazrat Ali (RA) also spoke a few harsh words out of compassion. At this, Hazrat Abbas said, "You people point out our evils but overlook our righteous deeds." Hazrat Ali (RA) said in amazement, "O Uncle, have you people, any righteous deed on you?" He said, "Why not, we serve the holy Ka'ba, populate it, construct it, provide water to the pilgrims, and serve them." At this, the verses of the Noble Quran were revealed that serving the holy Ka'ba, populating it and providing water to the pilgrims can never be equal to believing and fighting in Jihad. In short, the incident of migration does not let the Muslims to be disappointed rather it guides them at every step and encourages them how Allah saved Islam and the Prophet (saw) of Islam at so critical juncture. That Allah still exists. He is . He neither dozes off nor sleeps. He is the Holy and the Highest. His assistance still descends upon those who revive Migration and Jihad. Every one of us should peep into our hearts to see "What I have done for Din and which sacrifice I have offered for it."
