Class 9 Islamiat Chapter 3 Complete Guide Book — Seerat Nabvi | PunjabTest.com

In 8 Hijri, the Quraish broke the Treaty of Hudaibiya by helping Banu Bakr attack Banu Khuza'a, the allies of the Muslims. The Holy Prophet ﷺ marched to Makkah with about 10,000 companions and entered the city on 20 Ramazan, 8 Hijri, almost without bloodshed.

The conquest is remembered for general forgiveness (Aam Muafi): the Prophet ﷺ announced, today there is no blame on you, and freed even his old enemies. The idols of the Kaaba were removed and Makkah became the centre of Tauheed. Soon after, at Hunain, the Muslims faced the Hawazin and Thaqeef; after an early setback, Allah gave them victory, and the Prophet's ﷺ patience and steadfastness turned defeat into triumph.

9 Hijri is called Aam al-Wufood (the Year of Delegations), because tribes from all over Arabia came to Madinah, accepted Islam and pledged obedience. Islam spread across the peninsula without further major wars.

In the same year came Ghazwa Tabook, a long and hard march in extreme heat towards the Roman frontier. Though no battle took place, it showed the Muslims' discipline and sacrifice. In 10 Hijri, the Prophet ﷺ performed his only Hajj — Hajjatul Wida — and in the plain of Arafat gave the Farewell Sermon: equality of all human beings, sanctity of life, property and honour, rights of women, and holding fast to the Quran and Sunnah.

The Prophet's ﷺ last illness began in Safar, 11 Hijri. Even in illness he cared for his Ummah: his last advice was about Namaz and the rights of slaves and women. Before passing away he gave away his remaining wealth in charity and freed his slaves.

He passed away on Monday, at Chasht (forenoon), 12 Rabi-ul-Awwal, 11 Hijri, at the age of 63, in the house of Hazrat Ayesha, and was buried there. His passing ended revelation forever, but his message — the Quran and Sunnah — remains complete guidance for all time. The chapter also teaches the blessings of sending Durood-o-Salam upon him.

The Prophet's ﷺ childhood and youth were pure: he was known as As-Sadiq (the Truthful) and Al-Ameen (the Trustworthy). He never worshipped idols, never drank, and people trusted him with their valuables. His youth teaches students that good character is built early.

His Zauq-e-Ibadat (passion for worship) was unique: he said Namaz was the coolness of his eyes. He prayed Tahajjud at night, fasted often besides Ramazan, and in Ramazan his worship increased even more. Worship for him was not a burden but love and closeness to Allah.

Sakhawat (generosity) was the Prophet's ﷺ habit: he never refused a beggar and gave even when he himself needed something. Isaar means preferring others over oneself — the Ansar's welcome of the Muhajireen is its greatest example.

Sila Rehmi means keeping good relations with relatives: visiting them, helping them, and forgiving their faults. The Prophet ﷺ said that cutting ties of kinship is a great sin, while joining them brings blessing in provision and life. A Muslim keeps relations even with relatives who break them.

The Prophet ﷺ raised the status of women: in the Farewell Sermon he commanded good treatment of women, and he himself was gentle and kind with his wives, daughters and all women. He said the best of you are those best to their families.

His Amanat wa Diyanat (trustworthiness and honesty) was famous even before prophethood: the people of Makkah called him Al-Ameen and kept their valuables with him. At the Hijrah, he left Hazrat Ali behind to return the trusts of the Quraish. Honesty in dealings, keeping promises and returning trusts are the practical lessons of this part.
