These two young men one older than the other after their long,tiring and desperate journey from Makkah but still a spirit in their eyes entered the beautiful valley of Taif.
They knew very well that people at Taif were no different from Makkahns. They also worshiped idols and were in constant contact with the people in Makkah. But they did not despair. As they entered Taif, the older one proclaimed his prophet hood, people jeered at him. One said: "God did not find anyone else for His message except you?" Another said: "I must be naive or a thief if I believed you to be a prophet." And so it went on.
Then in order to prevent them from preaching Islam, people of Taif set a group of children and vagabonds behind them. They pestered them and threw stones at them. They started bleeding, blood from body came down to their feet. Tired, forsaken and wounded, they sought refuge in a nearby garden. It belonged to Atabah and Shaibab, two wealthy chiefs of Quraish. They were both there when they entered and sat under a distant tree.
Then the older one raised his face towards heaven and prayed: "O Allah! I raise unto you my complaint for my weakness, my helplessness, and for the ridicule to which I have been subjected. O Merciful of all the Merciful! You are the Master of all oppressed people, You are my God! So to whom would You consign me? To the strangers who would ill-treat me, or to the enemies who have an upper hand over me?
For the sake of Your pleasure, I remain pleased and resigned to my fate. No change in this world occurs without Your Will."
While he was sitting there, Angel Jabreel (AS) along with the angel of mountains came there and said "O Prophet of Allah! if you order us the we will grind the people of taif between mountains."
What would have been our reaction on this situation,but this two men our beloved prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and his adopted son Zaid bin Haris (Raz) did not spoke a word.Our prophet (S.A.W) then said"i am sent as the prophet of mercy, not t o punish people" He further said "These people just dont know me" and "I hope that Allah will raise some one among CVthese people who will serve islam"
This clearly picturizes that islam forbids non-violence.How is it possible for a religion like this to promote terrorism!!
