Miracles Of The Holy Prophet As Mentioned In Surah Fatah
Out of the predictions mentioned in the Holy Quran, one famous prediction is that which is mentioned in Surah Fatah, in connection with the treaty of Hudaibiyah. In it, Allah has declared His pleasure with all those Muslims who were giving their pledge of allegiance at the hand of the Prophet (peace be upon him) under a tree. Allah has observed in this regard in verses 18 and 19 as follows: “And He rewarded them with a speedy victory; and many gains will thy acquire (besides).”
In brief, Allah has encouraged those Muslims whom He has bestowed upon them with His pleasure and disclosed the sincerity of their hearts and granted them the spiritual satisfaction. Allah gave them tidings of conquest in the near future in place of their returning from Makkah without performing Umrah, coupled with a great deal of booty, making them rich. Anyhow, the information that Allah gave was materialized. Thus, Allah blessed the Muslims with the conquest of Khaibar, along with all the seven forts and many orchards, as Fai, the details of which are found in the books of Islamic International Law. These very orchards included the orchard: well-known Fidak Orchard, from the income of which the Prophet managed annual expenditures of his household affairs, and the rest of the income, he distributed among the poor people of Bani Hashim.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) told about one of his dreams that,· dressed in Ihram, he shall enter Makkah and perform the proceedings of Umrah. So, hearing that, the companions started making preparations to go for it, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) led them to Makkah. On the way, the opponents resisted them, and the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) stayed at Hudaibiyah and held talks with the pagans of Makkah. A treaty was settled, which is mentioned in the books as the Treaty of Hudaibiyah. The companions got gloomy and returned to Madinah. On the way back, Surah Fatah was revealed, and Allah Almighty confirmed the dream of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as mentioned in verse 27 of the Surah. The verse states, “Truly did Allah fulfil the vision for His Apostle. You shall enter the sacred mosque, if Allah wills, with minds secure, heads shaved, hair cut short, and without fear, for He knew what you knew not, and He granted besides this, a speedy victory.”
From among these predictions concerning future conquests, another is mentioned in Surah Fatah. It occurs in verse 21, which states: “And other gains (there are) which are not within your power but which Allah has compased; Allah has power over all things”
That is, apparently, it is not in your control that you may get hold of it, but that is in the knowledge and control of Allah, and with His assistance, you will attain those booties. The majority of the commentators of the Holy Quran have meant by this prediction the booty of the conquests of Rome and Persia, and it is a fact that these nations were possessed of great power and abundance of goods and weapons. Thus, the same happened as the Holy Quran predicted, and the Muslims got immense booty after the conquests of Rome and Persia.
