Peace-Islam: A Solution For Humanity
Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world’s population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith.

WHAT IS ISLAM? DR. BILAL PHILIPS
Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world’s population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith.
Who are the Muslims?
One billion people from a vast range or races, nationalities and cultures across the globe - from the southern Philippines to Nigeria - are united by their common Islamic faith. About 18% live in the Arab world; the world’s largest Muslim community is in Indonesia; substantial parts of Asia and most of Africa are Muslim, while significant minorities are to be found in the Soviet Union, China, North and South America, and Europe.
What do Muslims believe?
Muslims believe in One, Unique, Incomparable God (called Allah in Arabic); in the Angels created by Him; ; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His revelation were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgement and individual accountability for actions; in God’s complete authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them. But God’s final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through Angel Gabriel.
How does someone become a Muslim?
Simply by saying ‘there is no god worthy of worship besides God (Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. By this declaration the believer announces his or her faith in all God’s messengers, and the scriptures they brought.
What Is Ka'bah?
The Ka’bahah is the place of worship which God commanded Prophets Abraham and Ishmael to build over Four thousand years ago. The building was constructed of stone.
Who is Muhammad?
Muhammad (pbuh ) was born in Makkah in the year 570, at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. Since his father died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards, he was raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The historians describe him as calm and meditative.
Muhammad (pbuh) was of a deeply religious nature, and had long detested the decadence and idolatry of his society. It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira near the summit of Jabal al-Nur, the ‘Mountain of Light’ near Makkah.
How did he become a prophet and a Messenger of God?
At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad ( pbuh ) received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Qur’an.
As soon as he began to recite the words he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which God had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution, which grew so fierce that in the year 622 God gave them the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijirah, [migration], in which they left Makkah for the city of Madeenah some 260 miles from Mekkah.
How did the spread of Islam affect the world?
Among the reasons for the rapid and peaceful spread of Islam was the simplicity of its doctrine. Islam calls for faith in only One God worthy of worship. It also repeatedly instructs man to use his powers of intelligence and observation.
Within a few years, great civilizations and universities were flourishing, for according to the Prophet ( pbuh ) , ‘seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim. The synthesis of Eastern and Western ideas and of new thought with old, brought about great advances in medicine, mathematics, physics, astronomy, geography, architecture, art, literature, and history. Many crucial systems such as algebra, the Arabic numerals, and also the concept of the zero (vital to the advancement of mathematics), were transmitted to medieval Europe from Islam. Sophisticated instruments which were to make possible the European voyages of discovery were developed, including the astrolabe, the quadrant and good navigational maps.
What does ‘Islam’ mean?
The Arabic word ‘Islam’ simply means ‘submission’, and derives from a word meaning ‘peace’. In a religious context it means complete submission to the will of God. ‘Mohammedanism’ is thus a misnomer because it suggests that Muslims worship Muhammad ( pbuh ) rather than God. ‘Allah’ is the Arabic name for God, which is used by both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians alike.
Why does Islam often seem strange?
Islam may seem exotic or even extreme in the modern world. Perhaps this is because religion does not dominate everyday life in the West today, whereas Muslims have religion always uppermost in their minds, and make no division between secular and sacred. They believe that the Divine Law, the Sharee‘ah, should be taken very seriously, which is why issues related to religion are still so important.
Do Islam and Christianity have different origins?
No. Together with Judaism, they go back to the prophet and patriarch Abraham, and their three prophets are directly descended from his sons - Muhammad from the eldest, Ishmael, and Moses and Jesus from Isaac. Abraham established the settlement which today is the city of Makkah, and built the Ka‘bah towards which all Muslims turn when the pray.
God commanded Abraham to summon all mankind to visit this place, and when pilgrims go there today the say ‘Here I am O Allah’, in response to Abraham’s summons.
What is the Qur’an?
The Qur’an is a record of the exact words revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It was memorized by Muhammad (pbuh) and then dictated to his Companions, handwritten down by scribes, who cross-checked it during his lifetime. Not one word of its 114 chapters, Suras, has been changed over the centuries, so that the Qur’an is in every detail the unique and miraculous text which was revealed to Muhammad (pbuh) fourteen centuries ago.
What is the Qur’an about?
The Qur’an, the last revealed Word of God, is the prime source of every Muslim’s faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern us as human beings: wisdom, doc-trine, worship, and law, but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time it provides guidelines for a just society , proper human conduct and an equitable economic system.
Are there any other sacred sources?
Yes, the sunnah, the practice and example of the Prophet (pbuh), is the second authority for Muslims. A hadith is a reliably transmitted report of what the Prophet (pbuh) said, did, or approved. Belief in the sunnah is a fundamental part of the Islamic faith.
Examples of the Prophet’s sayings
The Prophet (pbuh) said:
‘God has no mercy on one who has no mercy for others.’ ‘None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.’ ‘He who eats his fill while his neighbor goes without food is not a true believer.’ “The truthful and trusty businessman is associated with the prophets, the saints, and the martyrs.’ ‘Powerful is not he who knocks the other down, indeed powerful is he who controls himself in a fit of anger.’
‘God does not judge according to your bodies and appearances but He scans your hearts and looks into your deeds.’
‘A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well he descended into it, drank his fill and came up. Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The man saw that the dog was feeling the same thirst as he had felt so he went down into the well again and filled his shoe with water and gave the dog a drink. God forgave his sins for this action.’ The Prophet (pbuh) was asked: ‘Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?’ He replied, ‘There is a reward for kindness to every living thing.’
‘God does not judge according to your bodies and appearances but He scans your hearts and looks into your deeds.’

From the hadith collections of Bukhaaree, Muslim, Tirmithee and Bayhaqee.
WHAT ARE THE ‘FIVE PILLARS’ OF ISLAM?
They are the framework of the Muslim life: faith, prayer, concern for the needy, self-purification, and the pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.
1. FAITH
There is no god worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is His messenger. This declaration of faith is called the Shaahadah, a simple formula which all the faithful pronounce. In Arabic, the first part is la ilaaha il - lal - ’laah-’ there is no god except Allah’; ilaaha (god) can refer to anything which we may be tempted to put in place of God-wealth, power, and like. Then comes il - lal - ‘laah:’ except Allah’, the creator of all things The second part of the Shahaadah is Muhammadun rasoolul-laah ‘Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.’ A Message of guidance has come through a man like ourselves.
2. PRAYER
Salaah is the name for the obligatory prayers which are performed five times a day, and are a direct link between the worshipper and God. There is no hierarchical authority in Islam and no priests, so the prayers, are led by a learned person who knows the Qur’an, chosen by the congregation. These five prayers contain verses from the Qur’an, and are said in Arabic, the language of the Revelation, but personal supplication can be offered in one’s own language. Prayers are said at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset and nightfall, and thus determine the rhythm of the entire day. Although it is preferable to worship together in a mosque, a Muslim may pray almost anywhere, such as in fields, offices, factories and universities. Visitors to the Muslim world and struck by the centrality of prayers in daily life.
A translation of the Call to Prayer is: Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god except Allah. I testify that there is no god except Allah. I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Come to prayer! Come to prayer! Come to success (in the life and the Hereafter)! Come to success! Allah is most great. Allah is most great. There is no god except Allah.
3. THE ‘ZAKAAH’
One of the most important principles of Islam is that all things belong to God, and that wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The word zakaah means both ‘purification’ and growth’. Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need, and, like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
Each Muslim calculates his or her own zakat individually. For most purposes this involves the payment each year of two and a half percent of one’s surplus savings.
A pious person may also give as much as he or she pleases as sadaqah, and does so preferably in secret.
Although this word can be translated as voluntary charity’ it has a wider meaning. The Prophet (pbuh) said
‘even meeting your brother with a cheerful face is charity.’
The Prophet (pbuh) said: ‘Charity is a necessity for every Muslim.’ He was asked’ What if a person has nothing?’ The Prophet (pbuh) replied: ‘He should work with his own hands for his benefit and then give something out of such earnings in charity.’ The Companions asked: ‘What if he is not able to work?’ The Prophet (pbuh) said: ‘He should help poor and needy persons.’ The Companions further asked, ‘What if he cannot do even that?’ The Prophet (pbuh) said’ He should urge others to do good.’ The Companions said ‘What if he lacks that also?’ The Prophet (pbuh) said’ He should check himself from doing evil. That is also charity.’
4. THE FAST
Every year in the month of Ramadaan, all Muslim fast from first light until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations.
Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are permitted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically unable to do this, they must feed a needy person for every day missed. Children begin to fast (and to observe the prayer) from puberty, although many start earlier.
Although the fast is most beneficial to the health, it is regarded principally as a method of self purification. By cutting oneself off from worldly comforts, even for a short time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungry which leads to growth in one’s spiritual life.
5. PILGRIMAGE (Hajj)
The annual pilgrimage to Makkah the Hajj - is an obligation only for those who are physically and financially able to perform it. Nevertheless, about two million people go to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe providing a unique opportunity for those of different nations to meet one another.
Although Makkah is always filled with visitors, the annual Hajj begins in the twelfth month of the Islamic year (which is lunar, not solar, so that Hajj and Ramadan fall sometimes in summer, sometimes in winter). Pilgrims wear special clothes: simple garments which strip away distinctions of class and culture, so that all stand equal before God.
The rites of the Hajj, which were begun by Prophet Abraham, include circling the Ka’bah seven times, and going seven times between the mountains Safaa and Marwah as Hager did during her search for water. Then the pilgrims stand together on the wide plain of ‘Arafah and join in prayers for God’s forgiveness, in what is often thought of as a preview of the Last Judgement.
In previous centuries the Hajj was an arduous undertaking. Today, however, water, modern transport, and the most up-to-date health facilities are provided for the millions who take part in the pilgrimage.
The close of the Hajj is marked bya festival, ‘Eed al-Ad-haa, which is celebrated with prayers and the exchange of gifts in Muslim communities everywhere. This, and the ‘Eedal-Fitr, a feast-day commemorating the end of Ramadan, are the main festivals of the Muslims’ calendar.
Does Islam tolerate other beliefs?
The Qur’an says:
The Qur’an says:
Allah does not forbid you with regards to those who do not fight you for [your] faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them; for Allah loves those who are just. (Qur’an, 60:8)
It is one function of Islamic law to protect the privileged status of minorities, and this is why non-Muslim places of worship have flourished all over the Islamic world. History provides many examples of Muslim tolerance towards other faiths: when the caliph Omar entered Jerusalem in the year 634, Islam granted freedom of worship to all religious communities in the city.
Islamic law also permits non-Muslim minorities to set up their own courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves.
SIN: According to Islam, man is not born in ‘original sin’. Every child is born with an innate disposition towards virtue, knowledge, and beauty. Islam considers itself to be the ‘primordial religion’, it seeks to return man to his original, true nature in which he is in harmony with creation, inspired to do good, and confirming the Oneness of God.
What do Muslims think about Jesus?
Muslims respect and revere Jesus (r), and await his Second Coming. They consider him one of the greatest of God’s messengers to mankind. The Qur’an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur’an is entitled ‘Mary’), and Mary is considered the purest woman in all creation. The Qur’an describes the Annunciation as follows:
‘Behold!’ the Angel said, ‘God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.’
She said: ‘O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?’ He said: ‘Even so; Allah creates whatever He wills. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, “Be!” and it is.’ (Qur’an, 3:42-7)
Jesus (r) was born miraculously through the same power which had brought Adam (r) into being without a father:
Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, ‘Be!’ and he was. (3:59)
During his prophetic mission Jesus (r) performed many miracles. The Qur’an tells us that he said:
During his prophetic mission Jesus (r) performed many miracles. The Qur’an tells us that he said:
‘I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by Allah’s leave.(3:49)
Neither Muhammad (r) nor Jesus (r) came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Qur’an Jesus (r) is reported as saying that he came:
‘To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allah and obey Me.’ (3:50)
The Prophet Muhammad (r) said:
‘Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad (r) is His messenger, that Jesus is the servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by Allah into Heaven.’
‘Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad (r) is His messenger, that Jesus is the servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by Allah into Heaven.’
(Hadith from Bukhaaree)
Why is the family so important to Muslims?
The family is the foundation of Islamic society. The peace and security offered by a stable family unit is greatly valued, and seen as essential for the spiritual growth of its members. A harmonious social order is created by the existence of extended families; children are treasured, and rarely leave home until the time they marry.
What about Muslim women?
Islam sees a woman, whether single or married, as an individual in her own right, with the right to own and dispose of her property and earnings. A marriage dowry is given by the groom to the bride for her own personal use, and she keeps her own family name rather than taking her husband’s.
Both men and women are expected to dress in a way which is modest and dignified. Women are required to cover all of their body except for the face and hands in order to protect their modesty and honor.
The Messenger of God (pbuh) said: "The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife."
Can a Muslim have more than one wife?
The religion of Islam was revealed for all societies and all times and so accommodates widely differing social requirements. Circumstances may warrant the taking of another wife but the right is granted, according to the Qur’an, only on condition that the husband is scrupulously fair.
Is Islamic marriage like Christian marriage?
A Muslim marriage is not a ‘sacrament’, but a simple, legal agreement in which either partner is free to include conditions. Marriage customs thus vary widely from country to country. As a result, divorce is not common, although it is not forbidden as a last resort. According to Islam, no Muslim girl or boy can be forced to marry against their will: their parents will simply suggest young men or women they think may be suitable.
How do Muslims treat the elderly?
In the Islamic world there are no old people’s homes. The strain of caring for one’s parents in this most difficult time of their lives is considered an honor and blessing, and an opportunity for great spiritual growth. God asks that we not only pray for our parents, but act with limitless compassion, remembering that when we were helpless children they preferred us to themselves.
Mothers are particularly honored: the Prophet (pbuh) taught that ‘Paradise lies at the feet of mothers’. When they reach old age, Muslim parents are treated mercifully, with the same kindness and selflessness.
In Islam, serving one’s parents is a duty second only to prayer, and it is their right to expect it. It is considered despicable to express any irritation when, through no fault of their own, the old become difficult.
The Qur’an says: ‘Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and be kind to parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, do not say ‘Uff’ to them or chide them, but speak to them in terms of honor and kindness. Treat them with humility, and say, ‘My Lord! Have mercy on them, for they cared for me when I was little’. (17:23-4)
How do Muslims view death?
Like Jews and Christians, Muslims believe that the present life is only a preparation for the next realm of existence. Basic articles of faith include: Resurrection the Day of Judgment, Heaven and Hell.
When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed, usually by a family member, wrapped in a clean white cloth, and buried preferably the same day. Simple prayers following Muslims consider this one of the final services they can do for their relatives, and an opportunity to remember their own brief existence here on earth. The Prophet (pbuh) taught that three things can continue to help a person even after death; charity which he had given, knowledge which he had taught and prayers on their behalf by a righteous child.
What does Islam say about war?
Like Christianity, Islam permits fighting in self-defense, in defense of religion, or on the part of those who have been expelled forcibly from their homes. It lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming civilians and against destroying crops, trees and livestock. As Muslims see it, injustice would be triumphant in the world if good men were not prepared to risk their lives in a righteous cause. The Qur’an says:

As Muslims see it, injustice would be triumphant in the world if good men were not prepared to risk their lives in a righteous cause. The Qur’an says:
‘Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors.’ (2:190)
If they seek peace, then you should also seek peace. And trust in Allah for He is the One that hears and knows all things. (8:61)
War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law.
War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law.
The term jihaad literally means’ struggle’, and Muslims believe that there are two kinds of jihaad. The outer struggle against the forces of evil and corruption and the inner struggle which everyone wages against egotistic desires, for the sake of attaining inner peace.
What about food?
Although much simpler than the dietary law followed by Jews and the early Christians, the code which Muslims observe forbids the consumption of blood, pork and any kind of intoxicating substances. The Prophet taught that ‘your body has rights over you’, and the consumption of wholesome food and the leading of a healthy lifestyle are seen as religious obligations. The Prophet (pbuh) said:
‘Ask God for certainty [of faith] and well-being; for after certainty, no one is given any gift better than health!’
‘Ask God for certainty [of faith] and well-being; for after certainty, no one is given any gift better than health!’
How does Islam guarantee human rights?
Freedom of conscience is laid down by the Qur’an itself: ‘There is no compulsion in religion’. (2:256)
The life and property of all citizens in an Islamic state are considered sacred whether a person is Muslim or not. Racism is incomprehensible to Muslims, for the Qur’an speaks of human equality in the following terms: ‘O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honored of you in Allah’s sight is the greatest of you in piety. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (49:13)
Islam in the United States?
It is almost impossible to generalize about American Muslims: converts, immigrants, factory workers, doctors, all are making their own contribution to America’s future. This complex community is unified by a common faith, underpinned by a countrywide network of more than a thousand mosques.
Muslims were early arrivals in North America. By the eighteenth century there were may thousands of them, working as slaves on plantations. These early communities cut off from their heritage and families, inevitably lost their Islamic identity as time went by. Today many Afro-American Muslims play an important role in the Islamic community.
The nineteenth century, however, saw the beginnings of an influx of Arab Muslims, most of whom settled in the major industrial centers where they worshipped in hired rooms. The early twentieth century witnessed the arrival of several hundred thousand Muslims from Eastern Europe: the first Albanian mosque was opened in Maine in 1915; others soon followed, and a group of Polish Muslims opened a mosque in Brooklyn in 1928.
In 1947 the Washington Islamic Center was founded during the term of President Truman, and several nationwide organizations were set up in the fifties. During the fifties through seventies there was a great influx of Muslims from India and Pakistan who today represent a major segment of immigrant American Muslims. From the early twenties until the seventies a few Pseudo-Islamic organizations have appeared among indigenous Muslims using Islamic terminology to cover racist un-Islamic teachings: The nation of Islam (commonly called “Black Muslims”), The Moorish Science Temple, The Ansarullah.
Although they have always remained a small but vocal minority, some of their spokesmen continue to tarnish the image of Islam until today. Today the Muslim population in America is estimated by researchers at five to eight millions.

এরপর একটু রাসূলের জীবনীর দিকে তাকান। তাঁর সমস্ত মিশনের সঙ্গী ছিলেন হযরত খাদিজা (রা) এবং তিনি মৃত্যুবরণ করেন নবুওয়াতের ৯ম বছরে। এটিকে আপনি হয়তো নবুওয়াতের ৯ম বছরের আমুল হুজন বা দুঃখের বছর হিসেবে ইতিহাসে পড়ে থাকবেন। কিন্তু এই পাঠ আর একজন ব্যক্তির ২৫ বছরের দাম্পত্যজীবনের সঙ্গী হারানোর মাঝে বিস্তর ফারাক রয়েছে। এটি কেবল ২৫ বছরের দাম্পত্য জীবন নয়; বরং ২৫ বছরের আত্মিক জীবন, সমস্ত প্রতিকূলতার সময়ের শক্তিশালী সঙ্গীর জীবন। আল্লাহর রাসূলের পাশে যখন কেউ ছিলো না, তিনি ছিলেন ছায়ার মতো; সমস্ত প্রতিকূলতাকে হারিয়েছেন ভালোবাসা দিয়ে, শক্তি দিয়ে, অর্থ দিয়ে। নিজের কাছে রাসূলের অসহায়ত্বকে আগলে রেখে সমস্ত শক্তিটুকু দিয়েছেন ঢেলে। একবার ভাবুন, এই আত্মিক প্রশান্তিকে হারানো, সন্তানদের মা-হারানো মুখগুলোর দিকে তাকানো – এত দীর্ঘ সময়ের আত্মিক জীবনসঙ্গিনীকে হারিয়ে কতোটা কষ্টের গভীরে গিয়েছেন তিনি সেটা ভাষিক দৃষ্টিকোণ থেকে বলাও অসম্ভব।
বুখারী শরিফের প্রথম অধ্যায় ওহী বিষয়ক। সেখানে যদি আপনি দেখেন আল্লাহর রাসূল জিব্রাইল (আ) এর সাথে প্রথম সাক্ষাতের পর তিনি কাঁপতে কাঁপতে বাড়ি ফিরেছেন। ঘটনা বর্ণনা করেছেন কম্পিত কণ্ঠে। শঙ্কিত হয়েছেন নিজের জীবন ও দায়িত্ব নিয়ে। সে সময়ে খাদিজা (রা) আল্লাহর রাসূলকে শক্তি দিয়েছেন, সাহস যুগিয়েছেন। বলেছেন, আপনি এতিমদের দেখাশুনা করেন, গরীবদের খাবার দেন, অসহায়দের সহায়তা করেন, আর যেই ব্যক্তি এ ভালো কাজগুলো করে তাকে আল্লাহ কখনই ফেলে দিতে পারে না।
তিনি শঙ্কিত হয়েছেন কে আমার আল্লাহর দাওয়াত গ্রহণ করবে? খাদিজা (রা) বলেছেনঃ আমি। আমি সাক্ষ্য দিচ্ছি যে আল্লাহ ছাড়া কোনো ইলাহ নেই এবং আপনি আল্লাহর বান্দা ও আল্লাহর রাসূল।
এভাবে ব্যক্তিগত জীবনে এবং নবুওয়াতী বাণীর দাওয়াতে – উভয়ের ব্যাপারে যিনি সর্বাপেক্ষা সহায়তা এবং শক্তি যুগিয়েছেন তিনি চলে গেছেন এই দুনিয়া ছেড়ে, রাসূলকে ছেড়ে। কতোটা কষ্টের মাঝে তিনি পতিত হয়েছেন এটা আমাদের ভাষার ভাবনাকে ছাড়িয়ে যাবে।
এরপর খাদিজার মৃত্যুর ৬ থেকে ৮ মাসের মাথায় মৃত্যুবরণ করেন তাঁর চাচা আবু তালেব। এটাও হয়তো আপনাদের কাছে ইতিহাসের মতো কেবল একটা তারিখ মনে হতে পারে। কিন্তু...কিন্তু এই মৃত্যুও কি স্বাভাবিক ছিলো আল্লাহর রাসূলের জন্য? একবার চিন্তা করুন তো আল্লাহর রাসূলের জীবনের ইতিহাসকে। তাঁর পিতা মৃত্যুবরণ করেন জন্মের পূর্বে। মাতা মৃত্যুবরণ করেন ৬ বছর বয়সে। এরপর দাদা আব্দুল মুত্তালিব লালন-পালনের দায়িত্ব নেন। এরপর? ৮ বছর বয়সে দাদাও মৃত্যুবরণ করেন। এই ৮ বছর বয়স থেকেই চাচা আবু তালেব ছিলেন পিতার মতো। আবু তালেব ছিলেন কুরাইশদের অন্যতম নেতা। কুরাইশদের যেকোনো সভায় তিনি থাকতেন; অভিভাবক হিসেবে এবং সমাজের ভালো-মন্দ বিচারে। এসময় আল্লাহর রাসূল থাকতেন তাঁর কুলে বসে। সেই ছোট্ট সময় থেকেই তো তিনি লালিত হচ্ছেন আবু তালেবের ঘরে; এভাবেই।
আবু তালেবের সন্তানরা কুরাইশদের সামনে কুলে না থাকলেও রাসূল ﷺ থাকতেন। কুরাইশরা এভাবেই দেখে আসছে সেই ছোট্ট সময় থেকে। এমনকি আবু তালেব কোথাও গেলে নিজ সন্তানদের সাথে না নিলেও নবী মুহাম্মাদ ﷺ কে সাথে নিতেন। এতটাই চোখে চোখে আদরের সাথে রাখতেন তাকে। আবু তালেবই ছিলেন আল্লাহর রাসূলের পরিবার! আবু তালেব কখনও আল্লাহর রাসূলকে ছাড়া খাবারও খেতেন না। যদি কখনও তাকে না পেতেন খুঁজে নিয়ে আসতেন, আসলে তখনই খাবার খেতেন। এমনই ভালোবাসা আর পরিবারের ভূমিকায় তিনি ছিলেন।
আবু তালেব ছিলেন নবীর অভিভাবক, কেউ তাকে স্পর্শ করতে পারতো না। কারণ কেউ নবীর কাছে যেতে হলে আবু তালেবকে পেরিয়ে যেতে হতো। সীরাহর কিতাবে এটা স্পষ্ট আছে যে আবু তালেবের মৃত্যুর পর মক্কার যুবকেরা পর্যন্ত তাকে অভিশাপ দিতো, কষ্ট দিতো। অথচ আবু তালেব জীবিত থাকাবস্থায় এ সাহস কখনই ছিলো না। আবু তালেব আল্লাহর রাসূলের এমনই রক্ষাকবচ ছিলেন। এভাবেই আবু তালেবকে হারানো আল্লাহর রাসূলের জন্যে অনেক বড় কষ্টকর ট্রাজেডি ছিলো; বিশেষত খাদিজা (রা) এর মৃত্যুর পিঠাপিঠি এই ঘটনা হওয়ার কারণে কষ্টটা আরো তীব্র হয়ে উঠেছিলো।
আরো একটি বিষয় আমরা সীরাহ থেকে নেই না। আল্লাহর রাসূলের এতো কষ্টগুলো কীভাবে কাটিয়ে উঠেছিলো? আমাদের যুবকরা আল্লাহর রাসূলের এই কষ্টটাকে প্রশমনের দৃষ্টান্ত দেই না যুবকদের। ফলে যুবকরা দাওয়াতী ময়দানে নিজেকেই হারিয়ে ফেলে আল্লাহর দাওয়াত দিতে গিয়ে।
আবু তালেবকে হারানোতে আরো একটা তীব্র কষ্টকর ঘটনা ছিলো তিনি ইসলাম গ্রহণ না করেই দুনিয়া ত্যাগ করেছিলেন। যারা ইসলামে এসেছেন অথচ তাঁদের প্রিয়জন আল্লাহর পথে আসে নি তাঁদের কষ্টটা অন্যরা বুঝতে পারে না। তাঁদের প্রতিদিন এবং দিন শেষে দু’আ হয় তাঁদের প্রিয়জনদের জন্যে; যেন তারা জাহান্নাম থেকে বেঁচে থাকতে পারে। অথচ মৃত্যুর মুহূর্তেও আল্লাহর রাসূল কানে কানে আল্লাহর দিকে আহবান জানিয়েছিলেন; একটিবার আল্লাহর দিকে শাহাদা করার জন্যে। যিনি পিতামাতা এবং দাদার পর এতটাই কাছের ছিলেন, পিতৃতুল্য ছিলেন তিনি আলোহীন অবস্থায় চলে গেলেন, এটা কি যাতনাই না ছিলো রাসূলের জন্যে!
এই ঘটনার ১২ কি ১৩ বছর পর। মক্কা বিজয়ের পর। আবু বকর (রা) তাঁর অতি বৃদ্ধ, অন্ধ পিতা আবু কুহাফাকে আল্লাহর রাসূলের কাছে নিয়ে আসলেন ইসলাম গ্রহণের জন্যে। রাসূল ﷺ দেখে বললেন আমাকে বললে আমি নিজেই তো চলে যেতাম। তিনি ইসলাম গ্রহণ করলেন। আবু বকর (রা) কাঁদতে লাগলেন। আল্লাহর রাসূল ﷺ বললেন, আনন্দের কান্না? আবু বকর (রা) বললেন,
না; বেদনার কান্না। রাসূল ﷺ জিজ্ঞেস করলেন কেন? আবু বকর (রা) বললেন, আমার পিতার পরিবর্তে আবু তালেব যদি ইসলাম গ্রহণ করতো আমি অধিক খুশী হতাম! দেখুন, আবু বকরেরা (রা) সর্বদা আল্লাহর রাসূলের কাছে থাকতেন, তারা ভালো করেই জানতেন আল্লাহর রাসূল কতোটা কষ্ট বুকে ধারণ করতেন আবু তালেবের ইসলামহীন মৃত্যুতে। তারাও যে এত বছর পরে মনে রেখেছে! আবু তালেব তাঁর কাছে কতকিছুই না ছিলো সেই ইসলামের ঊষালগ্নে!
না; বেদনার কান্না। রাসূল ﷺ জিজ্ঞেস করলেন কেন? আবু বকর (রা) বললেন, আমার পিতার পরিবর্তে আবু তালেব যদি ইসলাম গ্রহণ করতো আমি অধিক খুশী হতাম! দেখুন, আবু বকরেরা (রা) সর্বদা আল্লাহর রাসূলের কাছে থাকতেন, তারা ভালো করেই জানতেন আল্লাহর রাসূল কতোটা কষ্ট বুকে ধারণ করতেন আবু তালেবের ইসলামহীন মৃত্যুতে। তারাও যে এত বছর পরে মনে রেখেছে! আবু তালেব তাঁর কাছে কতকিছুই না ছিলো সেই ইসলামের ঊষালগ্নে!
খাদিজা (রা) এর মৃত্যু। আল্লাহর রাসূলে ﷺ আত্মিক জীবনসঙ্গিনীর বিদায়। সন্তানদের মাতৃহারা চাহনি। পিতৃতুল্য চাচার মৃত্যু। দুটি বড় প্রতিরক্ষা ও আশ্রয়স্থলের সমাপ্তি। সমাজের নেতিবাচকতা। কুরাইশদের অনাচার। এতগুলো কষ্টকে তিনি ছাপিয়ে উঠেছিলে কিভাবে জানেন? নামাজের মাধ্যমে। আল্লাহর সান্নিধ্যের মাধ্যমে। আল্লাহর সাথে প্রতিদিনকার কথার মাধ্যমে। সান্ত্বনা, ভবিষ্যতের আশার আলো, অনাগত লোকদের আল্লাহমুখিতা ইত্যাদি নামাজে আল্লাহর সাথে কথাগুলোই প্রশান্তিরূপে বয়ে আসে এবং সমস্ত কষ্টগুলোকে ভুলে গিয়ে তিনি প্রতিদিন নব উদ্যমে আবির্ভূত হন।
দিনের কষ্টগুলোকে রাতের নামাজে ধুয়ে যেতো এবং নব বৃক্ষরূপে পুনরায় শোভিত হয়ে সজীব হয়ে উঠতো। আল্লাহর সাথে আত্মিক সম্পর্কের নামাজ এতটাই গভীর অনুভূতিময়। দুনিয়ার সমস্ত সম্পর্ক নিঃশেষ হয়ে যাক, কিন্তু একটি সম্পর্ক বাকী থাক, আল্লাহর সাথে সম্পর্ক, নামাজ; এটাই যথেষ্ট একজন ব্যক্তির জন্য। আল্লাহ হলো আস-সালাম – সমস্ত প্রশান্তি তিনিই, আমরা সেই আস-সালামের সামনেই নামাজে দাঁড়িয়ে থাকি। সমস্ত প্রশান্তির আধারের সম্মুখে, তাঁর খাজানার দিকে চেয়ে।
এভাবেই আল্লাহ তা’য়ালা রাসূলের সর্বাপেক্ষা কষ্ট ও ট্রাজেডির সময় তাকে তুলে নিলেন আসমানে। আল্লাহর রাসূলকে সমস্ত কষ্টগুলোকে মোচন করার মাধ্যম দিলেন আস-সালাত – নামাজ।
এই উপহার দেওয়ার সময় আল্লাহর রাসূলের নিকটে ওহী নাযিল হলো না বরং আল্লাহই তাকে তুলে নিলেন ওহীর মালিকের কাছ থেকে সরাসরি উপহার নিতে! এভাবেই সালাত আমাদের সাথে আল্লাহর সরাসরি যোগাযোগের মাধ্যম হয়ে উঠলো। আল্লাহর কালামের সাথে কথা বলা মানেই তো আল্লাহর সাথে কথা বলা। আর সর্বাপেক্ষা প্রিয়র সাথে কথা বলা তো আত্মিক প্রশান্তির জন্য প্রশমন ও আরামদায়ক হবেই। সমস্ত প্রশান্তিদায়ক শক্তির উৎস হবে।
