13. DISAPPOINTMENT TO THE UNBELIEVERS
After the migration to Madinah, even though Islam was propagating rapidly, the Muslims had been victorious against the unbelievers on every front and the conspiracies of the unbelievers were suffering continuous failures; however, in spite of all this, the infidels still remained busy in plotting against Islam hoping that one day, Islam will definitely be wiped off and idol worshiping will prevail once again in Arab. Based on these frail hopes, the infidels remained busy plotting conspiracies against Islam and kept on promoting newer and newer sedition.
However, on 10th AH, when the unbelievers saw a huge gathering of the Muslims at the occasion of Hujja-tul-Wada’ in the plains of ‘Arafat; and they witnessed the enthusiasm of those thousands of the Muslims for Islam, their passion and unconditional believe and love for the Beloved Prophet their frail hopes suffered utter disappointment and they became hopeless of the destruction and devastation of Islam. Hence the following Quranic verses were revealed in the plains of ‘Arafat after the time of ‘Asr depicting that incident:
Today, the infidels are dejected of your religion, so do not fear them and fear Me; this day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you, and have chosen Islam as your religion.
It is narrated that a Jew said to Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq that there is such a verse in your Book that if it was revealed upon us, we would have made that day the ‘day of Eid (rejoicing)’. Sayyiduna ‘Umar asked, ‘Which verse?’ The Jew replied:
Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam said that we are well-aware of the day, the place and the time when this verse was revealed. It was Friday, we were in the plains of ‘Arafat and the Holy Prophet was delivering sermon (Khutbah) after Salat-ul-‘Asr, when this verse was revealed.
By this, Sayyiduna ‘Umar meant that the day this verse was revealed, we already availed two Eids because it was the day of ‘Arafah, which is a day of Eid for us and secondly, it was the day of Friday and that too is a day of Eid for us. Hence, there was no need for us to celebrate another Eid that day.
It has also been reported that Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq started crying after the revelation of this verse. The Holy Prophet asked, ‘O ‘Umar why are you crying?’ Sayyiduna ‘Umar replied, ‘Ya Rasoolallah our religion had been progressing day by day. Now that our religion has completed; it is generally understood that the things decline after achieving excellence.’
Furthermore, from this verse, there is also an indication of the demise of the Beloved Prophet. The Holy Prophet came to this world to complete the religion. Since the religion has been established completely, it is obvious that the Holy Prophet will not prefer to stay in this world anymore.
Moral:
1. Allah has certified through this verse that now the struggles of infidels will never succeed in destroying Islam. Disappointment has overcome the infidels as Islam can never be demolished.
2. This Quranic verse has revealed that the religion of Islam has established completely. Now if someone claims that so-and-so issue is not settled in Islam or there is a need of an amendment or addition; then such a person is a big liar. In fact, he is an unbeliever who has denied the Holy Quran and has gone outside of the folds of Islam. Certainly, without any doubt, the religion Islam is complete and perfect. It is a fundamental belief in Islam.
