Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Shiites Under Attack Did Muslims Other Than Shi'ites Borrow Religious Teachings from Jews? To discuss the relationship between the Muslims and Jews, it is necessary to divide Islamic history into three distinct eras and review each separately. The three divisions are: Islam during the time of the Prophet. 2. Islam during the time of the first three caliphs. 3. Islam during the present era.

The Muslims And Jews During The Days Of The There were many battles between the Messenger of God and the Jews of Al-Hijaz. Many Jewish communities signed pacts with the Prophet. However, they breached the agreements. This made military confrontations with the Islamic force inevitable. The covenant breachers used to flee to Khaybar after their defeat. Thus, Khaybar fortresses were to the Hijazi Jews places of aggregation and fortification.

The Prophet decided to remove the danger of the fortresses, and the battle of Khaybar took place. The battle was the main and final confrontation between the Prophet and the Jews. Who Defeated The Jews In Khaybar? Muslim historians recorded that after the besiegment of Khaybar had continued for a long time and the army's supplies ran out, the prophet gave the banner to Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr was unable to conquer any of the fortresses of Khaybar.

On the following day, the Prophet gave the banner to 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab. There was an unsuccessful battle with the Khaybarites which ended with the defeat of 'Umar and the army. They returned to the Messenger bickering and accusing each other of being cowards.

( AI-Tabari, part 3, page 12) The Conquering Commander Who Was Loved By Allah And His Messenger The Messenger of God was saddened by the defeat of his banner and army on two consecutive days under the leadership of two prominent companions (Abu Bakr and 'Umar). Thus, the Messenger declared the following: "By God, tomorrow I shall give the banner to a man who loves God and His Messenger, and who is loved by God and His Messenger.

He shall take Khaybar by force." Many Qurayshite companions wished to be the one so highly praised by the Prophet. Imam Ali, at that time, had sore eyes and, therefore, was not expected to be the chosen man. The following day, though, he was brought before the Prophet. The Prophet medicated and cured the Imam's eyes with his blessed saliva. The Imam never complained about his eyes again. Military tradition demands that the army confronts the enemy ahead of the commander.
