“To those that argue with you
concerning Jesus after the knowledge you have received say: ‘Come, let us gather
our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves. We
will pray together and call down the curse of Allah on every liar’.” [Glorious
Quran Chapter 3 verse 61]
In the year 9AH Prophet Mohamed (SAW)
wrote to the heads of different tribes and countries of the world inviting them
to Islam. One of the letters was written to the Christian community of Najran.
A large delegation was appointed to go to meet the Prophet (SAW).
Warmly welcomed by the Prophet (SAW).
they were put up in one part of the mosque where they were allowed to perform
their prayers comfortably. They asked the Prophet (SAW). What he thought of
Jesus and he said: “He was a human being created by God and was a prophet.”
“Have you ever seen any child born in
this world without a father?” they asked. The Prophet (SAW) replied: “Jesus is
like Adam in the sight of Allah. He created him from dust and then said to him
'be' and he was.” [Glorious Quran Chapter 3 verse 59]
They could not answer his argument, but
continued to debate the issue. Then the ayah (verse) inviting them to a
“Mubahila” was revealed. When real arguments fail to produce the desired effect,
then to wish for the intervention of Allah’s judgement in order to sift the
right from wrong, is called Mubahila.
The Christians of Najran accepted the
challenge and at the appointed hour arrived at the place where the Mubahila was
going to take place. There they saw the Ahlul Kisa, the family of the Prophet:
The Prophet (SAW), Imam Ali (AS) Imam Hassan (AS) and Imam Husain (AS) and
Sayyida Fatima (AS) and immediately their leader Abu Harith said:
“I see such faces that if they raise
their hands in supplication and pray to God that the biggest mountain may be
moved from its place, the same will happen immediately. We should in no
circumstance engage in a Mubahila with these sacred people because it is
possible that not even one of us may remain alive on the face of the earth.”
They withdrew from the Mubahila.
