Ghazwa-e-Ohad

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

don't do urself a disservice.........ask somebody who actually knows and is in the position to enlighten others.........

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

Peace,

I don't understand, the questions asked by OP is quite straight-forward and it may be answered with 'Yes', 'No' and/or with details (with references if any) rather than stating each others as Sunni, Shia this that etc.

As those who feel uncomfortable why a shia member raised this question. Let say a sunni member would like to know the answer of these questions. Now what? is that sunni member is spreading fitna???

And those who face lil bit difficulties answering these question are free on their own wills either to post/reply or NOT. Nobody forced them to reply.

Lastly, pardon me writing this off-topic comments. No need to reply my post but if you wish to do, you are welcome to pm me.

Again, I request you all let stay on OP's POV, answer in general, leave sunni shia a side (as OP didn't posted it as related to any sunni or shia). We seek knowledge lets have it. What is good take it what is not leave it.

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

Well, all you are asking for is a little bit of objectivity but sometimes it is too much to ask particularly from the 'religious' folks. Towards simple facts, they will resort to distortions, confusion, twist and everything else under the cloud to stretch and make it in compliance with their own set point of view or the world-view propagated by the mullahs who are already on someone's payroll. Controlling history has been key to controlling the present and the future. Unfortunately history for us has more been like 'shush-tory'.

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

^ You are welcome

Peace lethal kamikaze First of all allow me to commend you the way you are moderating over here – it is a very difficult and thankless task because I think, nay I’m quite sure that religious section generates most heat than any other section leaving Political section poor second, way behind.

Poster s here open threads for 2 reasons:

1) To gain knowledge or clear some doubts or misinformation they have.
2) To provoke others and get reaction from them.

A week ago a poster queried about list/names of Badri Sahabah (may Allah (swt) pleased with them all and reward them immensely): those who knew about the information provided it and with ‘Jazakallahs’ and ‘Thank yous’ the thread was done.

Brother Aqeel got inspired by the above thread and opened the thread about the Battle of Uhud, not only inquiring about list but wanted know about impact of the war; names of companions who stayed with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and those who ran away.

Unlike the query about Battle of Badr – Battle of Uhud has Shia/Sunni undertones/ implication because some Companions of The Prophet (peace be upon him) ‘ran’ away when they were ambushed from the rear.

That’s why there was no simple Yes & No answer.

This thread falls into the second category.

Brother Aqeel was well aware what he was doing and heat that is going to generate.

Dynamics of battle of Uhud can classified as follows:

1) The Muslim force numbering around 700 initially routed the Makkans numbering about 3000 forcing them to flee leaving all their possessions behind.

2) Some of the Muslims very over confidently sensing sudden victory gave up the chase and started collecting the war booty.

3) Importantly some of the archers whom the Prophet (peace be upon him) had tactfully assigned the task of manning the hillock and had expressly told them to hold their position abandoned it joining with others in collecting the war booty.

4) At this critical juncture, Hz Khalid ibn al-Walid (ra), (not having accepted Islam as yet) military genius that he was, saw the opportunity and exploited it well and with Hz. Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl (ra) (not having accepted Islam as yet) outflanked the Muslims and attacked with Calvary from the rear.

5) This unexpected attack caused a great confusion and panic among Muslims and scattered them all over. As the Makkan riposte strengthen many Muslims were killed, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was wouded, there was also rumour that The Prophet (peace be upon him) had been killed. Muslims regrouped and held the ground and repulsed the enemy away.

6) A small faction of Muslims was completely cut off and had to make its way back to Medina to seek refuge, many of these were killed. Hz. Uthman Bin Affan (ra) was among this group (who reached Medina.) Allah (swt) forgave 'misdeeds' of all the Muslims.

If Allah(swt) has forgiven them and the Qurannic ayahs is evidence of it - We as Muslims should accept this without any rancour or misgivings
*
(As for) those of you who turned back on the day when the two armies met, only the Shaitan sought to cause them to make a slip on account of some deeds they had done, and certainly Allah has pardoned them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing. [3:155]*

lethal kamikaze you are doing a great job – Headaches for you are part of ‘Moderatorship’. :)

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

Now on whose payroll are you? And whose agenda are you pushing? Leave the Mullahs alone they don’t own Islam.

History always has two versions.

First version is always written by those who are in overwhelming majority thus having the ‘power’. They seem to have a bit of superiority complex and confidence and in themselves. They are the ones who mostly dictate the events in history by their action or inaction.
**
Second version *of history is always written by the fringe minority who seem to suffer from inferiority complex. To find solace and consolation in their ‘sidelined position’ they tend demonise the ‘Heroes’ of the Majority and giving deifying powers to their own Heroes and elevating them to divine levels. Believe you me, most of the distortions take place in this version of *'shush-tory' **

Islam is practiced by following commands of Allah (swt) from the Quran and Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him). This is sufficient. Nothing more and nothing less.

We don’t take Islam from *'shush-tory' *.

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

I totally agree with the highlighted part... I knew people will be offended and some unrelated posts will be there but i chose to ignore them

I am 26 and i have heard about ohad often; mostly from shia fellows. A fact about this battle is that some sahaba escaped and were forgiven other fought bravely and didn't leave Prophet s.a.w alone in battle field.

Before opening this thread I might have header about this battle 100 times in my life time but because of sunni/shia issues i dont remember hearing a single name beside umar bin khatab running away from ohad. On the other hand i cud only recall few names (Imam Ali a.s, hazrat Abu Dajjana r.a and Hazrat Hamza a.s who was Martyred) that stayed with Prophet s.a.w and fought. Out of 700 people i didnt know about 7 people who stayed or ran away so i asked for more.

On the other hand i had a argument with a sunni friend about Khalid bin Waleed. He claimed that Khalid bin waleed didnt lose any war in his life time. Even the one he fought against Muslims.

Now if i mentioned Khalid bin waleed, more people wud have came forward and said we lost the war indeed. However it wasn't the case. I believe Muslims didnt let them succeed hence they lost. I wanted to know what others thought about the result of the war.

When i posted this thread i was originally here to ask about itekaaf and when i saw the thread related to Badr i thought of asking about ohad as well.

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

there was no simple yes/no answers to the intial questions. even the terms used by op require alot of explaination the knowledge of which was not present in the questions

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

**Therefore He made you flee from them, that He might try you. Yet now He hath forgiven you. Allah is a Lord of Kindness to believers.
Then He made you flee from them (your enemy), that He might test you. But surely, He forgave you, and Allah is Most Gracious to the believers

**Allah SWT calls them believers and is kind to them.

we cannot look at this without looking at the religion (motivation) of those who refuse to forgive and accept them as believers

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

Can you please put the surah and ayya number.

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

its two interpretions, pickthal/khan, of 3:152

aqeel please watch video to see the actual aqeedah of those continue to mock the verified believers

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

Salaam Aqeel Thanks for the feedback – We are lucky in this day and age that we have the Internet. You must read as much from all versions of history so that you can get as much information as possible. Do not rely one source.

You must understand the dynamics of the Battle of Uhud.

  1. Muslims routed the Makkans and the Makkans turned their heels and were on the run.

  2. Muslims prematurely started celebrating the victory and let their guard down.

  3. Some of the archers abandoned their strategic positions on the hillock against the express wishes of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him)

  4. Cavalry attack by Khalid bin Al Waleed scattered the Muslim army formation and Muslims were divided into 3 groups.

a) Those who were near the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) joined him

Following is the names of those were the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) And I have got it from a reputable Shia site.

http://www.al-islam.org/history/history/ohod.html

Note Hz. Abu Bakr (ra) is among them

Who remained with the Prophet (s)?

The companions fled away, concerned only with their own safety. History recorded seven exceptional Meccans (Ali, Abu Bakr, Abdul-Rahman Ibn Ouf, Saad Ibn Abu Waqass, Talhah Ibn Obeidah, Al-Zubeir Ibn Al-Awam, Abu Obeidah Ibn Al-Jarrah); And Seven exceptional Medi- nites (Al-Hubab Ibn Al-Munthir, Abu Dujanah, Sahl Ibn Huneif, Assim Ibn Thabit, Saad Ibn Mu ath, As-ad Ibn Hudheir or Saad lbn Abadah and Mohammad Ibn Musli- mah).

b) Those who fled from the Hz. Khalid bin Al Waleed’s and were pushed far away from Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) and were disheartened when heard the rumours of Prophet (saw) ’s death and later found their way back to him. Hz. Umar bin Al Khattab (ra) was from this group. In one of my previous posts I have quoted from Net about Hz. Umar (ra) answering back Abu Sufyan on Prophet (saw) ’s behest.

c) This group were completely cut out from main body of Muslims and only refuge for them was fleeing to Madinah – Hz. Uthman bin Affan (ra) was from this group.

Technically this is true – Hz. Khalid bin Al Waleed (ra) was exceptionally talented Military genius.
Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) honoured by the following title Sayf-Allah al-Maslul (the Drawn Sword of Allah)

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

Shardmanny..selective reading can be a dangerous thing.....
U ve quoted me but u may or may not have noticed the context or reason I had referred to verse 152 which was to show that Uhud was not a defeat..........if u want to use the verse to prove a diff point then plz do not omit or skip verses related to the new point........I am not going to assume u deliberately did it......may b it was presented that way on some website that u got ur info from.........anyways.......for the point that u r trying to make suggesting all the Uhud participants were equals in faith then u r better to present extended set of grouped verses frm 149 to 155.........share with us ur observation about them......And we may go frm there....

Re: Ghazwa-e-Ohad

like i said, make your point here so we may all see it and see you
