അല്ലയോ ജമായത് കാരാ -സിഹ്രിനെ കുറിച്ച് സ്വന്തം ബടായി പ്രബോധനത്തില് നിറച്ചു ...മുജാഹിധുകള്ക്ക് എതിരെ കുതിര കയറും മുമ്പ് ഒരു നിമിഷം -സയ്യിദ് അബുല് ആഹ്ലാ മൌദൂദിയുടെ തഫ്ഹീമുല് ഖുറാനില് നിന്ന് ....
- Many people have trouble accepting the story of the Muhammad (SAW), or any prophet of Allah (SWT), for that matter, being under the malignant influence of magic.
- First, its important to note that it is an established fact that this incident of magic happened. Some ignorant Muslims would try to deny that a holy prophet could ever be subjected to such evil. However, the early Muslim scholars were as honest as possible in that they never tried to change or corrupt the facts of history, or else this “embarrassing” story would have never made it down to us today. It has been related by to us by Imam al-Bukhari (RA), Imam Muslim (RA), Imam Nasa’i (RA), Imam ibn Majah (RA), Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (RA), Abdur Razzaq RA), Humaidi (RA), Imam Baihaqi (RA), Tabarani (RA), Ibn Sad (RA), ibn Mardayah (RA), ibn Abi Shaibah (RA), Imam Hakim al-Nishaburi, Abd bin Humaid (RA) and other traditionists on the authority of Aishah bint Abi Bakr (RA), Zaid bin Arqam (RA) and Abdullah bin Abbas (RA), through so many different and numerous channels that forgery is out of the question. (Tafheem ul-Qur’an)
- There is no tradition to say that Muhammad (SAW) might have forgotten some verses of the Qur’an in those days, or might have recited a verse wrongly, or a change might have occurred in the assemblies and in his counsels and sermons, or he might have presented verses as revelation which may not have been revealed to him, or even that he might have missed a prayer and thought that he had performed it. God forbid, if any such thing had happened, it would have caused a clamor and the whole of Arabia would have known that a magician had overpowered the one whom no power had been able to overpower. But the Holy Prophet’s (SAW) position as a Messenger of Allah (SWT) remained wholly unaffected by it. (Tafheem ul-Qur’an)
- Those who are uncomfortable with prophets being affected by black magic don’t understand how magic operates. Magic is a physical phenomenon, and prophets were not immune to physical phenomenon. Prophets could feel the heat of fire, the coolness of hunger, the pang of hunger, etc. (Ma’ariful Qur’an)
- There if nothing in the traditions which might spoil his office of prophethood. In his personal capacity if any injury could be inflicted on him as it happened in the Battle of Uhud, if he could fall from his horse and be hurt as is confirmed by the ahadith, if he could be stung by a scorpion as has been mentioned in Musnad Ahmad, and none of these negates the protection promised him by Allah (SWT) in his capacity as a prophet, he could also fall ill under the influence of magic in his personal capacity. (Tafheem ul-Qur’an)
- That a Prophet can be affected by magic is also confirmed by the Qur’an. The Qur’an tells us how not only the common people, but the Prophet Moses (AS) as well, felt that the cords and staffs coming at them were like so many snakes, thus feeling all their hearts with fear, and it was only due to the revelation and encouragement of Allah (SWT) that Prophet Moses (AS) was able to throw down his own staff and defeat Pharaoh’s magicians (Surah al-Araf, Qur’an Ch.7 v.116; Surah Ta-Ha, Qur’an Ch.20 vv.66-69). (Tafheem ul-Qur’an and Ma’ariful Qur’an)
- As for the objection that this incident then confirms the accusation of the disbelievers of Makkah that the Holy Prophet (SAW) was a bewitched man, its answer is that the disbelievers did not call him a bewitched man in the sense that he had fallen ill under that effect of black magic cast by somebody, but in the sense that some magician has, God forbid, made him go mad, and so his claim to Prophethood and tales of Hell and Heaven were done in this same madness. (Tafheem ul-Qur’an)
