the prophet muhammad (saas) - Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for All

Allah has confirmed His Messenger's vision with truth: You will enter the Masjid al-Haram in safety,
Allah willing, shaving your heads and cutting your hair without any fear. He knew what you did not know
and ordained, in place of this, an imminent victory. (Surat al-Fath: 27)
The Prophet (saas) had a dream when he was in Medina, that the believers had entered the Sacred
Mosque and walked around the Kaaba. He gave the good news to the believers. Those of the believers who
migrated from Mecca to Medina had not been able to return since. When the Prophet (saas) spoke of his
dream, as the account has it, the believers went to Mecca for the purposes of pilgrimage, although the
idolators would not allow them in. The unbelievers saw this as an opportunity to sow discord, and tried to
prove the Prophet (saas)'s dream false by saying that they had been unable to go to the Kaaba and unable to
cut their hair.
Allah revealed verse 27 of Surat al-Fath to the Prophet (saas) to help and support him, and revealed
that the dream was true, and that if Allah so wished the believers would be able to enter Mecca. A short
while later, with the Treaty of Hudaybiya and the conquest of Mecca, the believers were able to enter the
Sacred Mosque in complete safety, just as the dream had shown. That was how Allah showed that the news
He had previously given to the Prophet (saas) was true.211
Another important point here is this: When the Prophet (saas) gave that good news to the believers it
looked totally out of the question. In fact, the situation pointed in quite the opposite direction, and the
polytheists appeared quite determined never to let the believers in. That led those who harboured doubts in
their hearts to doubt the words of the Prophet (saas). Yet, the Prophet (saas) trusted in Allah, took no notice
of what people might say, had complete faith in what Allah had revealed to him and told people about it. It
is an important miracle that his words were confirmed by the Qur'an, and that they came to pass shortly
afterwards.
We decreed in the Book for the tribe of Israel: "You will twice cause corruption on the earth and
you will reach [a degree of] great haughtiness. When the promised first time came, We sent against you
servants of Ours possessing great force, and they ransacked your houses, rampaging right through them.
It was a promise which was fulfilled. Then once again We gave you the upper hand over them and
supplied you with more wealth and children and made you the most numerous group." (Surat al-Isra': 4-6)
As these verses reveal, the Children of Israel were to experience two victories. Following the first of
these, and their "reaching to a degree of great haughtiness," Allah then sent a powerful army against them.
Indeed, when the Jews killed the Prophet Yahya (as) and set a trap to kill the Prophet 'Isa (as), in other
words, after their "reaching to a degree of great haughtiness," they were exiled shortly afterwards from
Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D. The Temple of Solomon in the city was completely demolished.
Following their exile from Palestine in 70 A.D., the Jews wandered all over the world. Since they were
seen as the killers of 'Isa (as), they were generally despised in European countries, had to live under
oppressive conditions, and even most of the time had to practice their religion in secret. When that verse
was revealed to the Prophet (saas), the Jews were living under very difficult conditions and had no state of
their own. Yet, Allah told them that they would one day recover their strength.
