History of Hajj
English book, p. 11
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
HISTORY OF HAJJ qualities of this race, a scholar bestowed upon them the title of “a nation of heroes.” It was within this distinguished lineage that the Prophet of Islam and his Companions were born. Consequently, through God’s superior arrangement, favourable circumstances unfolded. From its inception to its culmination, it was an immensely profound divine plan. The Prophet of Islam and his Companions, who laid the foundation for the glorious history of Islam, were indeed the outcome of this very divine plan. The Quran explicitly states that the significant revolution that took place during the time of the Prophet and his Companions was not the personal accomplishment of any individual, but rather the direct result of God’s superior plan. In this regard, there are two verses in the Quran: “They wish to put His light out with their mouths. But He will perfect His light, much as those who deny the truth may dislike it; it is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion, so that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, however much the polytheists may dislike it.” (61:8-9) This means that these people intend to extinguish the light of God through their words, but God will ensure the perfection of His light despite the opposition of the disbelievers.
