THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S AHL-AL-BAIT(SAS) & the Ahmadiyyat Movement INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE HOLY QURAN ALI AND THE FALL OF KHAIBAR Khaibar was only a little distance from Medina and from here the Jews found it very easy to carry on their intrigues. With this intent, the Prophet (some time in August 628 A.D.) marched to Khaibar. He had one thousand six hundred men with him. Khaibar, as we have said, was a well-fortified town. It was surrounded on all sides by rocks on which were perched little fortresses. To conquer such a place with so small a force was no easy task. The small posts lying on the outskirts of Khaibar fell after a little fighting. But when the Jews collected themselves into the central fort of the town, all attacks on it and all forms of strategy employed against it seemed to fail. One day the Prophet had a revelation that Khaibar would fall at the hands of Ali. The following morning the Prophet announced this to his followers and said, "Today, I will hand over the black flag of Islam to him who is dear to God, His Prophet and all the Muslims. God has ordained that our victory at Khaibar Should take place at his hands." The following day he sent for Ali and handed to him the flag. Ali did not wait. He took his men and attacked the central fort. In spite of the fact that the Jews had collected in force inside this fort, Ali and his division were able to conquer it before dark. A peace was signed. Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad Khalifatul Masih QADIAN, 28th February, 1947 6th Rabi al-Thani, 1366 28th Tabligh, 1326 ---------- | |||||||||||||||||
