Have Muslims made a mockery of Islam?

Re: Have Muslims made a mockery of Islam?

In which case you have a better opinion about me than I thought. :slight_smile:

Analyse the treaty … Carefully …

Obligation of Muslims … Honour treaty by not letting MUSLIMS from Makkah join the Medinites, but to return them.

Obligation of Pagans … Nothing (but peaceful annual passage for Muslims to do Hajj.)

The obligation was what both parties set upon one another … In this treaty … The ones who were changing faith were the pagans, the Muslims were returning home to their families in Makkah … Not becoming pagans as you would like this to be interpreted. Muslims had businesses and loved ones in Makkah and as a result and through dawah pagans in Makkah were also becoming Muslims … After the treaty was made, the Muslims were dealt with strictly, by preventing them from joining the Muslims in Madinah, but the side-effect of that was more dawah was possible with Muslim presence in Makkah.

The pagans thought that by not having Sayyiduna Muhammad (SAW) to watch over them they would become pagan again … But the reverse was happening … Which through frustration led to the massacre and breaking of the treaty by the pagans.
