Pearls of wisdom
"O people of Quraish! O people of Mecca! what do you think I am about to do with you?"
You expelled me from Mecca and preoccupied me with your wars that you forced me to turn me away from the Call to Allah and propagating His Message
You placed barriers between the Arabs and Islam with all your power
O people of Quraish! O people of Mecca! You killed many of my companions and exerted several military and economic pressures throughout this period
And here you are; I have taken you prisoners, and none of you has any power, the power is in my hands now and not yours,
so what do you think I am about to do with you?
They answered: "Everything good, for you are a noble brother and a noble nephew of ours"
We have known you of great morals and we have learned that you do not hold grudges or antagonize anyone
You are the honorable Messenger who enjoins pardon and deals with people on the basis of the spiritual values and mercy that is open to all the good
They answered: 'Everything good, for you are a noble brother and a noble nephew of ours',
so he said: "Rise, then, and go; you are free."
I have set you free because I have not come as a conqueror; I have come as a messenger, preacher and prophet
It is not my concern to kill people; it is to guide them to the right in every aspect of life
Thus, the Messenger of Allah (p.) was distinguished by this enormous mercy and compassion which he wants us to model after in our social reality
when we defeat each other, so none of us should hold any grudge and mercy should prevail instead
