Lesson
The Christians
of Syria (Najraan), who came to argue and debate with the Messenger
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him), presented their entire false beliefs. God Almighty replied them
through Holy Qur’an and put to
silence them.
Even after listening to the clear proofs, those Christians
of Najraan did not believe in it and remained
firm on their false faith. Allah Almighty commanded His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) to
establish a Mubahila with them (both groups would have to
get together with their families and pray with pleading that whosoever out of
us is liar, invocation would be prayed for his curse and wrath of God). At its
first step, this situation of Mubahila will clarify that which the group has
really believed in his inner truth and at which extent. Hearing the invitation
of Mubahila, the group
from Syria (the Christians of Najraan)
requested for respite so that they may answer after consultation. When they got
together for consultation, then; wise people of them said: You have understood
in your hearts that Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) is really a Messenger of God Almighty. He has
described clear and decisive words about Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), and
you know also that Allah Almighty had promised to send His Messenger from the
children of Ishmael, and it is possible that He (Muhammad) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is the
same Messenger. To set up the Mubahila with any Messenger, can result in
favor of any nation that none of them (either younger or elder) could be saved
from destruction and torment.
After consulting, the Syrians (Najraani Christians) attended the court of last
Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him). They saw that the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was
coming out with Hassan and Hussain (his daughter’s sons), Fatima (his daughter
and Ali (his son in law) (May Allah be
pleased with Them).
Looking upon these luminous faces, their superior
Clergyman said: I am looking such pure faces whose prayer can shake the
mountains from their places. Do not ruin yourselves by fixing the Mubahila with them. At last, they decided not
to compete and returned after reconciling. It has been mentioned in the Sayings
that the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) said, “If those people would have done Mubahila, then it would rained
such fire upon them that Allah Almighty would subvert the Syria (Najraan).
