Stances from the noble Sira to ponder upon
Some stands of the noble Sira of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, I would like to inform about the brothers, maybe the Brotherhood of Manhaj or those who got influenced by them could ponder on this:
1) The Prophet ﷺ prayed and made Tawaaf around the Kaaba while it was surrounded by 360 statue Idols.
2) In the Treaty of Hudaybiya:
The Prophet ﷺ erased the word “Bismi Allah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem” (In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful), only was written of it “Bismika Allahum” (In Your Name Oh Allah)
He ﷺ also erased “Muhammad Prophet of Allah” and only was written “Muhammad son of Abdullah”;
All of this during his negotiations with the representative of the Mushrikeen Suhail.
3) After the Prophet ﷺ came back from Al-Taaif, he entered Makkah in the companionship & protection of a Mushrik who was Almutai’m Ibn Udayy. And he didn’t enter accompanied by a Muslim, indeed he didn’t even urge or rush to confront Quraish before he got power (tamkeen).
4) The Prophet ﷺ allied with some Mushrikeen & signed treaties with them, of the most well-known is his Alliance with Khuza’a Tribe, which was one of the factors of the Liberation of Makkah after Quraish abolished the peace treaty & helped to fight them.
5) The Prophet ﷺ didn’t fight some apostates, on top of them the leader of the hypocrites Ibn Abi Salul, the reason was so that people don’t say that Muhammad is killing his companions.
6) The Prophet ﷺ took weapons in a lease from Safaan Ibn Umayya, while he is a Mushrik, to use it in the Battle of Hunayn, after that he gave him lots of boons, and he later accepted Islam, may Allah be pleased with him.
7) The Prophet ﷺ forgave the Mushrikeen of Makkah after he had overpowered them without putting the condition on them to accept Islam, while they were the ones who fought him & stopped people from his Dawa (Call to Islam), they were called “Al-tula’qaa” (the freed ones).
8) The Prophet ﷺ addressed the Knights of the Lands in his time and described them with what suits their positions, despite their Kufr & Shirk (Disbelief & Association to Allah), of it is His saying: “To Heraklios, Mighty of the Romans”, He didn’t antagonize (be hostile & incite) them in the first place & He was keen on guiding them to Islam.
9) The Prophet ﷺ thought seriously, and He even proposed the Idea and consulted some of his companions about it: giving the Mushrikeen of Ghatafaan Tribe one third of the Dates of Medina in exchange of them retreating back of fighting; & so that he can split up the coalition of Al-Ahzaab (who came to fight the Muslims).
10) Najaashi (King of Ethiopia in that Time) accepted Islam & hid it, and he remained the Leader of a Kafir Country. The Prophet ﷺ didn't order him to apply Sharia or to withdraw because of his incapacity to do it, till he died; and the Prophet ﷺ prayed for him Janazah after his death & didn't make Takfeer on him.
