Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Hussein the Saiviour of Islam The Sulhi-hudaibiah Repeated THE HISTORIC SULH (or Truce) was concluded at Hudaibiah by the Holy Prophet who having gone to Mecca had to return content with the Treaty.

People taking it to be a defeat of the purpose of the Holy Prophet, doubted even in the bonafide of his being the apostle of God.Even the one like Omar could not resist giving vent to his doubting about the bonafide of his claim to the apostleship, saying:- "Never did I doubt about the apostleship of the Holy Prophet as I did at Hudaibiah." But the Treats of Hudaibiah later proved to be one of the greatest stratagems which only a divine, like the Holy Prophet could have struck, and it proved to be of invaluable worth and value to the establishment and the progress of Islam and without which Islam could not have proceeded further.

The same thing happened with Hasan. People doubted the wisdom in the Fruce or the Treaty he had entered into with Ma'aviah. The Treaty of Hasan with Ma'aviah proved of the same value and worth as did the Sulhe Hudaibiah concluded, by his Grandfather the Holy Prophet.

Without the Sulhe or the Truce which Hasan concluded, the Shias of Ali, the devotees of the Ahlul-Bait, the advocates of the Original Islam would have been totally wiped out and there could have been no opportunity for the Holy Imam and his devotees to preserve the Original Faith and to carry it further, upto this day, which today is identified with the caption of 'Shia'ism.' Besides, there would not have been the least peace and security in the land for life and the property of the gentle public, and the gentle womanhood would have suffered the worst at the hands of the dcvilish forces let loose to gain the paramount power of the Kalifate.

It must be remembered that the aim or the object of the lives of the men of God, particularly the apostles, is not to own any temporal power in earth. Their first and the foremost concern is to guide man on the right path of thought and action, and to do the best possible to establish peace in earth and maintain it. Men of God had been on the earth to act as demanded by the circumstances: ZuI-Qarnain:Was sent to conquer some mischief-mongering and blood-shedding nations.

Job:To manifest divine patience and submission to the divine will. David:To show the standard of justice. Solomon:To own power and dominion as a godly monarch. Zachariah John: As the sincere supplicants to the Lord.
