rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is
marvelous in our eyes?"
B. The Arabs were disparate, warring tribes, without king, ruler, or chief, but after
the arrival of this prophet, the Seal, Muhammad (pbuh), Allah (Mighty & Majestic)
brought their hearts together and reunited them under the leadership of His
prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) in whose message they believed and had faith. Thus the
Muslims became a great nation, extending north and south, east and west, by the
Bounty and Victory of Allah (Mighty & Majestic).
This agrees with what is mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, "The kingdom of God
shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."
C. Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said:
The likeness of the Muslims, the Jews, and the Christians is like that of a man who
hired a people to do some work for him into the night, for a fixed sum, so he worked
for half the day and said, "We have no need of your payment that you agreed to, and
the work we have done is in vain." So he said to him, "Do not do that. Finish your
work and receive your payment in full." But they refused and left. So he hired others
after them and said, "Finish the rest of this day of yours, and you will have what I
agreed to pay them." So they worked until the afternoon and said, "To you the work
we have done is in vain, so keep the payment we have worked for." So he said to
them, "Finish the rest of your work, for there is very little left of the day." So he hired
others to work for him the rest of the day. They worked the rest of the day until the
setting of the sun, and they received the payment of both other groups. This is their
likeness and what they accepted of this light.
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
What Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said agrees with what it says in the Gospel of
Matthew, "...and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."
After the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came and his companions (may Allah be
pleased with them) believed, they began to fight battles and wars to spread true
monotheism and the invitation to worship Allah (Mighty & Majestic), exclusively,
without associating anything with Him and without believing anything false about
Him (Noble & Sublime) or attributing to Him any impairment or shortcoming
concerning His Being (Noble & Sublime), and to establish the Islamic empire.
And Allah (Mighty & Majestic) granted victory to His prophet (pbuh) and delighted
him with the Islamic empire, established upon the exclusive worship of Allah
(Mighty & Majestic), on noble directives, and wise and prudent standards of
interaction, on the basis of goodness and virtue. Then his noble companions (may
Allah be pleased with them) assumed the mission of spreading the religion of Allah
(Mighty & Majestic) around the world. Only a few years had passed when countries,
north and south, east and west, began to be liberated, and all who stood to stop the
spread of the true religion, Islam, were broken and defeated. Both the Persian
