In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Jesus, peace be upon him, was raised to the heavens in both body and soul.
His followers and disciples remained a small group among the arrogant and dominant Jews.
A part of Jesus' followers realized that he was raised to the heavens.
And a part of them thought that he had been crucified and that it was made to appear so to them.
Here began the division among the Christians.
The followers of Jesus, peace be upon him, began spreading across the land,
conveying the religion of God as he had instructed them.
Due to their righteousness, faith, and piety,
Allah granted them miracles as they spread His religion.
So many of them, when they prayed for the sick, were healed by the permission of Allah.
If they wiped over the sick, Allah restored their health,
which became a reason for people to believe in them.
As for the Jews, they did not accept this and harmed the followers of Jesus, peace be upon him.
How many did they kill! How many did they harm! How many did they oppose and persecute!
Until a man from the Jews named Saul came.
He was extremely harmful to the followers of Jesus, peace be upon him.
He used to harm them and intensify his persecution against them.
Suddenly, this strong, eloquent, and persuasive man woke up from his sleep and came to his companions.
He said to them, "I have believed in Jesus and followed his religion."
It caused a shock between the Jews and the Christians.
Saul, you, the arch-enemy of the Christians, believe in their religion? How is that possible?
What happened? What took place?
He said, "Jesus himself came to me and spoke to me, so I believed in him."
Is he truthful? Is he lying? Only Allah knows.
In fact, Saul not only embraced the Christian faith but also began calling others to it.
He was strong, resilient, and traveled to various regions calling people to Christianity.
He changed his name from Saul to Paul.
The Christians, including the disciples, followed him,
and they even called him Saint Paul and Paul the Apostle.
He claimed that he received revelations and that Jesus would come to him directly and speak to him.
He traveled to the east and west, calling people and spreading the Christian faith.
He told his followers among the Christians that the Jews were competitors and that many of them would not enter into their faith,
so they should go to the pagans in Greece.
Indeed, he began calling the pagans to Christianity.
When a pagan converted to Christianity, he would tell them not to forbid themselves from everything
and that some aspects of paganism would not harm them.
He began to be lenient in allowing aspects of paganism to enter into Christianity.
Do you see how paganism entered Christianity?
Paul became a man whose fame spread among the people,
and he began writing secrets that were later appended to the Gospel.
And the Gospel originally came as a confirmation of the Torah.
The Christians began to append Paul's altered words to the Gospel.
In fact, the Gospels multiplied, and instead of one Gospel, there became four.
The followers began to write parts of the words of Allah Almighty and append other things to them.
The Jews began to distort the scriptures and started to cast doubt on the prophets.
They attacked the prophets and placed these accusations in the Torah.
Even Jacob (Israel) they claimed falsehoods about, as well as Lot, Abraham, and others.
Similarly, the Christians' Gospels became multiple, and each Gospel differed from the other.
They removed the prophecies of the coming of Muhammad, peace be upon him,
and thus the religion became lost among the people.
Paganism entered into Christianity until the Romans came
and began persecuting both Jews and Christians.
The migrations of Jews and Christians to the Arabian Peninsula and other regions began to follow.
The Jews reached Yemen, and some settled there.
Some of them reached Yathrib (Medina) and settled there.
Some of them reached Khaybar and settled there, while others went to Fadak,
and some settled here and there.
The Jews and Christians spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula.
As for Yemen, many Christians settled there, particularly in Najran, Al-Hira, the coastal areas,
as well as in Oman and the Gulf Coast.
Many Christians spread in southern Iraq, such as Al-Munadhira and the Ghassanids.
The Christians began to spread, and the Jews as well,
and some people of the Book even reached Mecca.
Such as Ubayd Allah ibn Jahsh and Waraka ibn Nawfal.
The distortion in the Christian faith began to spread more and more.
After 300 years, the Romans entered Christianity.
Now the strength of that religion began to grow, and the Christians reached Abyssinia.
The conflict between Persia and Rome began in Yemen.
Abyssinia entered Yemen, and Yemen became Christian.
Then Persia came, fighting the Christians alongside the people of Yemen, and they drove them out once again.
Thus, the conflict between the Persians and the Romans became centered in that region as well as in the Levant.
The Jews said, “Ezra is the son of God,” and the Christians said, “The Messiah is the son of God.”
These are their statements, out of their mouths.
They emulate the statements of those who blasphemed before.
May God assail them! How deceived they are!
When distortion and paganism entered Christianity, some began to claim that Jesus is the Son of God,
others claimed he is the third of three, and some even claimed that Jesus is God.
The rabbis and priests appeared.
It's over! Faith was lost!
The rabbis and priests began to exploit the followers for collecting money and fulfilling their desires.
They have taken their rabbis and their priests as lords instead of God, as well as the Messiah son of Mary.
The rabbis and priests would declare something halal and it would be considered halal,
and if they declared something haram, it would be considered haram.
The people became followers and stopped paying attention to the religion of Allah Almighty.
They only cared about what the preists say!
If they said it's haram then it's haram and they say it's halal then it's halal
The monks and preists began to manipulate the religion of Allah Almighty.
Many of the rabbis and priests consume people's wealth illicitly, and hinder from God’s path.
Imagine the situation in the Arabian Peninsula.
Jews and Christians spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula, with a distorted faith.
But the question is: Where the Arabs?
What was their religion at that time?
Which religion did they believe in?
As for the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula, they were initially following the religion of their father, Abraham, peace be upon him.
The pure monotheistic faith.
Then they followed the religion of his son, Ishmael, and remained in this state for many long centuries.
They clung to the religion of Abraham and his son Ishmael,
and the descendants of Ishmael, the Arabized Arabs of Quraysh, continued to manage the Kaaba and its affairs.
The Arabs would perform Hajj to the Kaaba, visit it, and worship Allah Almighty, maintaining monotheism.
They remained in this state for many long centuries, steadfast in monotheism and belief,
despite what had happened to other nations around them.
Until a man from the Khuza'ah tribe, a leader among the Quraysh, named Amr ibn Luhay, came.
He traveled to Sham once.
When he went to Sham, he saw the people worshiping idols and statues.
He asked them, "What is this that you are doing?"
They replied, "These are idols we use to seek help from, so they aid us, and we ask them for rain, and they bring us rain."
When the rain would stop, we would bring them out and call upon them, and the rain would come down.
The Arabs needed rain.
And when wars occurred, we would seek help from them, and we would achieve victory.
He said, "Do you allow me to take one of these idols to the Arabs?" They replied, "Yes."
They gave him an idol named Hubal.
In the Arabian Peninsula, the Arabs remained steadfast in monotheism and continued for centuries in this state.
Until this man, 'Amr ibn Luhay, came with the idol Hubal and took it to Mecca.
When he arrived in Mecca, the Quraysh gathered and asked, "What is this, O Amr?"
He said, "This is an idol that helps them, brings rain, and cures their sick."
He said, "I will place it here."
Opposition started from some people, but he was a leader among his people with power and status,
so he forced them and convinced them to accept it.
As days passed, he had a vision involving the jinn.
The devils came to him and wanted to continue with him,
as he had introduced polytheism into the Arabian Peninsula.
The devils showed him a vision that there were five idols buried in Jeddah.
These were the idols of the people of Noah: Wad, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uk, and Nasr.
These idols were said to be buried in a location in Jeddah.
He woke up from his sleep, went to dig, and indeed found the five idols.
It may have been the same ones, or perhaps others.
He quickly brought the five idols to Quraysh.
He said to them, "These are the idols that were worshiped in the time of Noah."
Wad, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uk, and Nasr.
When the tribes came for Hajj, each tribe would take one of these idols and bring it back to their people to worship.
Look at how polytheism began to spread in the Arabian Peninsula.
As for Wad, it was taken by the people of Dumat al-Jandal from the land of Sham.
As for Suwa', it was taken by the tribe of Hudhayl to the region of Hijaz,
and they began worshiping it instead of Allah.
As for Yaghuth, it was taken by the Banu Ghatif from the Banu Murad near Saba or Hawazin.
The Hamdan tribe took Ya'uk from the land of Yemen.
Polytheism spread in the north, south, east, and west.
As for Nasr, it was taken by the Himyar tribe, who began to worship it instead of Allah.
Then the people of Ta'if came and made an idol for themselves called Al-Lat.
They built a house and an idol for it, and began worshiping it instead of Allah.
As for Quraysh, they had two idols which they considered the greatest: Hubal, which they placed inside the Kaaba.
Hubal was specifically used for divination with arrows and lots (azlam).
They would consult it and seek its opinion.
As for Al-'Uzza, it was placed in the valley of Nakhlah, and they built a structure for it and appointed a caretaker.
People would offer sacrifices to it.
This idol would produce a sound, a voice that came from the devils.
As for the people of the coast, as well as the Aws and Khazraj tribes, they made an idol called Manat.
Have you considered al-Lat and al-Uzza?
And Manat, the third one, the other?
Are you to have the males, and He the females?
The idols began to spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula because of one man who will go to Hell.
He would wander with his entrails, burning in the fire of Hell, remaining there forever.
He is the cause and the one who spread the worship of others besides Allah in the Arabian Peninsula.
The land of the prophets of Allah, Ibrahim and Isma'il, where monotheism was first spread,
and the first to destroy this monotheism was 'Amr ibn Luhay.
Then a man and a woman from the tribe of Jurhum came and entered the Kaaba.
The man's name was Isaf, and the woman's name was Nayla.
They entered the Kaaba and committed an immoral act, may Allah protect us.
When the people woke up in the morning, they found that Isaf and Nayla had been turned into stones by Allah Almighty.
They became two idols: Isaf as one idol and Nayla as the other.
It was a punishment from Allah because they committed the immoral act in the House of Allah,
and no one before them had dared to do such a thing.
Quraysh took these two idols and placed them outside the Kaaba to serve as a warning to people,
so that no one would dare to commit such an act inside the Kaaba.
Look at what the Lord did to them.
Do you know what happened after many years?
The two idols, Isaf and Nayla, were worshipped instead of Allah, imagine that!
These two idols were placed at Safa and Marwah,
and people began to walk around them and worship them instead of Allah.
The idols spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula.
Not only were idols worshiped, but even fire was sanctified. It was taken from Zoroastrianism by the Persians.
Even the stars were worshiped by the Sabians, and the star Al-Shi'ra was worshiped instead of Allah Almighty.
Divination, magic, and fortune-telling spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula, and people began to ask the soothsayers for guidance.
There were even valleys where the Arabs believed that a jinn lord ruled over them.
When someone passed by these valleys, they would say, "I seek refuge in the master of this valley from the evil of this valley."
They meant by "the master" the jinn.
Some individual humans used to seek power through some individual jinn, but they only increased them in confusion.
Imagine the madness that spread among the Arabs.
When a person starts with shirk, the sins that follow become easier for them to commit.
They began to offer sacrifices and offerings to these idols, imagine that!
They would slaughter two animals and say, "This is for Allah, and this is for His partners."
But neither would reach Allah, and all of it would be directed to others besides Allah Almighty.
Shirk spread, and its foundations began to take root throughout the Arabian Peninsula.
Innovations and superstitions started to emerge.
And if a person had ten children, they would sacrifice one of them to the idols.
And if a camel gave birth to ten females, they would free it and not let anyone touch it.
They would mark it and leave it free. Thus, they made the "sa'iba," "al-bahira," "al-wasila," and "al-hama" as part of their customs.
They would bring a type of camel that no one was allowed to touch.
God did not institute the superstitions of Bahirah, Saibah, Wasilah, or of Hami;
If a she-camel gave birth to ten female or male offspring,
they would declare both the males and the females forbidden to use or touch.
They began to forbid things and fabricate lies about Allah, and most of them did not understand.
Thus, shirk and misguidance spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula, alongside the presence of the Christians.
The majority of them were distorted in their beliefs, while some remained true to the religion of Allah.
Polytheism spread among the Arabs in their tribes and regions until it reached Hajj.
The Hajj itself, which had remained for centuries upon the rites of Ibrahim, began to change.
Even the Talbiyah, where they would say: "Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk, Labbayk la sharika laka Labbayk."
They changed it and said: "Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk, Labbayk la sharika laka Labbayk,
except a partner whom You own and what he possesses."
And they began building idols until they numbered in the hundreds around the sacred House of Allah.
And the people of Quraysh came and said that they were the people of the region,
so they would not go outside the Haram and would not go to Arafat.
Not only that, but they also began deceiving the people,
telling them that it was not proper for them to come with clothes stained
with sins and impurities and then circumambulate the House in them.
The people asked them, "What should we do then?"
They told them either to borrow clothes from them for a price or to perform Tawaf naked.
Indeed, some people did not have money,
so they would circumambulate the House naked because Quraysh forced them to do so.
Look how they tampered with the pillars of Hajj.
This is what happened in the Arabian Peninsula.
Jahiliyyah began to spread more and more.
The people reached alcohol, and they made it permissible. Wine shops spread everywhere.
Until people would boast about alcohol in their poetry.
They gave wine many different names,
and it was considered shameful for someone to drink alcohol and not engaging in gambling and dice games.
Gambling spread everywhere, and it became a shame for a person not to play this game.
And when a person had no money, he would gamble with his family and everything he owned.
He would even place his wife as a stake in that gamble.
Sometimes, his wife would be taken from him because of a gambling game – imagine that.
Hostilities began, hatred spread, and fighting and conflict erupted between the tribes until the Battle of Basus took place.
A countless number of people were killed, and the war lasted for forty years between the Arabs.
Harm and cruelty spread among the people, and they began taking usury, learning it from the Jews.
One would enslave another for the usury interest, which would gradually multiply over time.
All these immoralities spread in the Arabian Peninsula, and even the Bedouins were not spared.
Various types of fornication spread, countless in number.
Some women would place flags on their homes,
and those who desired them would come to them in exchange for a price; they were prostitutes.
Men would visit them, to the point where children were born and their fathers were unknown.
Of course, this was only a part of the women.
There were also a group of noble, free women who refused such actions.
Some girls in that time were forced into fornication.
And do not compel your girls to prostitution, seeking the materials of this life, if they desire to remain chaste.
Fornication, usury, alcohol, and gambling spread alongside the spread of polytheism and superstitions.
As for women, they had no value; they were enslaved, and their rights were taken away.
In fact, she was deprived of inheritance when her husband or father passed away.
A man would divorce his wife a hundred times and then take her back before her waiting period (iddah) ended.
She couldn’t even separate from an unjust husband or marry a righteous man.
What's worse, the woman was inherited like property.
Some, may Allah protect us, feared the disgrace and were jealous of that girl,
worried that she would bring shame upon them.
If she gave birth to a girl, he would kill her in her cradle.
He would either dig a hole and bury her alive or throw her from a high place.
And if he was traveling and she gave birth to a daughter, then upon his return,
finding his daughter grown, three or even five years old, he would still kill her at that age.
And when one of them is given news of a female infant,
When he was told it was a girl, he would hide to avoid being seen by people, fearing the disgrace – imagine that.
They considered a girl to be a shame and disgrace.
And when one of them is given news of a female infant, his face darkens, and he chokes with grief.
He hides from the people because of the bad news given to him.
Shall he keep it in humiliation,
He would bear raising her in humiliation and disgrace.
or bury it in the dust? Evil is the decision they make.
Imagine that island, full of oppression and the burying of girls, where even the boys were not spared.
Male children were buried out of fear of poverty.
Some of the noble Arabs would ransom the child with money and raise him, and some Arabs were known for this noble act.
And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them, and for you. Killing them is a grave sin.
Imagine the situation: polytheism, darkness, oppression, persecution,
fear of poverty, fear of disgrace, and infighting between tribes.
As for Yemen, which had Jews and Christians, it was a place of conflict between the Persians and the Romans.
During that period, there was a great kingdom called Saba.
During that period, the Dam of Ma'rib (Sayl al-Arim) struck them,
and its people spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula.
During that period as well, there was a tyrannical king in Yemen, and some Christians in his time believed in the true religion.
Because some of the Christians, a small group, adhered to the true religion, without altering or changing it.
They believed that Jesus was the prophet of God and upheld the oneness of God.
This small group believed in God during the time of the tyrannical king in Yemen.
They had a young boy who was the reason for their belief in Allah, Almighty.
He learned the faith from a monk and spread it in that society.
That boy was killed, and the people believed.
Trenches were dug for them, and they were thrown into them, burned alive in that fire.
Destroyed were the People of the Trench.
The fire supplied with fuel.
While they sat around it.
For nearly six centuries after the ascension of Jesus, peace be upon him, this is how the Arabian Peninsula was:
between a revealed religion, most of which was altered and changed, and Arabs who embraced polytheism and idol worship.
And between a very small group who remained steadfast in the religion of Allah, Almighty.
What will happen in this peninsula? And what will Allah, Almighty, bring about for its people?
