Fitnah al-Maal: His Sole Purpose Was to Use His Wealth to Destroy al-Islaam (Part 31)

Follow @AhleDhikr

In another incident, the Muslims and the Kuffaar of Quraysh during their battles, Umayyah bin Khalaf was killed. His son, Safwaan, swore vengeance. He amassed wealth and weapons to wage war against Muhammad and his people. He spent a long time gathering these weapons and spent a lot of effort in rallying the people to support him. His sole purpose was to use all of his wealth and the weapons that he had accrued, to kill the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him].

What actually happened was the complete opposite of Safwaan’s plan. When the Prophet liberated Makkah he asked Safwaan to lend the Muslims his weapons in order for the Muslims to fight the Kuffaar of Taif. The very same weapons that had been gathered to kill the Prophet, was used by the Muslims in killing their enemy, for the sake of promoting the Religion of Allaah.

We firmly believe that the universe belongs to Allaah, and He is the One Who Decrees within it. He Decrees what happens to our wealth and provisions – He Gives to Whom He Pleases and Witholds from Whom He Chooses.

To be continued and completed after Ramadhaan, إن شاء الله. 

And Allaah Knows best.
