“Karbala hochuki tayaar, Khuda khair kare”

Is a line that has such different emotions for everyone. For Hussain[as] that brings calm. For Qasim [as], that brings joy. For Abbas [as], that brings obedience. For Zaynab [sa], that brings grief. For Fatima [sa], it breaks her heart into pieces.❤️‍🩹

Unveiling the Real Story: How Key Figures Played a Role in the Early Betrayal of Islam

The story of Islam’s birth is woven with extraordinary sacrifices, fierce opposition, and, ultimately, a complex legacy that many believe has been obscured by history. While the Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) and his close family, the Ahl al-Bayt, faced relentless hardship, the behavior of some early converts raises profound questions about loyalty and intentions. In particular, we see a sharp divide between the sacrifices of the Prophet’s family, including Lady Khadija (SA) and Imam Ali (AS), and the contrasting path taken by future leaders who would shape Islam’s political landscape.

Early Opposition to Islam and the Prophet’s Nearest Supporters

As the Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) began spreading his message, he encountered fierce resistance from the Quraysh, who controlled Makkah’s political and economic spheres. Only a few supporters stood by him unwaveringly, most notably his wife, Lady Khadija (SA), and his young cousin, Imam Ali (AS). These figures were not only the first to believe in his message but also the first to sacrifice everything they had to see it succeed. In contrast, key figures like Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, while outwardly accepting Islam, seem to have faced far less opposition, enjoying protection from influential families even as true believers suffered persecution and death.

Lady Khadija: The True Mohsin of Islam

Lady Khadija’s immediate acceptance of Islam upon the Prophet’s revelation set the standard for devotion. Her role extended far beyond emotional support; she provided her entire fortune to shield the Prophet from his enemies and facilitate the spread of his message. Her wealth became a shield for the early Muslim community, funding campaigns, sheltering followers, and even buying the Prophet (SAWW) and his supporters much-needed peace amid hostile conditions.

During the intense Quraysh-imposed boycott on Banu Hashim, Khadija’s last resources were spent ensuring the community could survive in the barren valley of Shab e Abu Talib. She endured starvation, thirst, and deprivation, ultimately sacrificing her own life. This selflessness has earned her the title of “Mohsin of Islam” – the true benefactor whose generosity and faith provided Islam with the foundation it needed to endure.

In stark contrast, many of the prominent early converts, including the first three caliphs, seemed to experience a level of immunity from the Quraysh’s wrath. Figures such as Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman are notably absent from records of persecution and torture. Their alliances with Qurayshi families allowed them to convert without fear, raising questions about their motivations and long-term intentions.

The Persecution of True Believers Outside Banu Hashim

The divide between true believers and those protected by political affiliations is made starkly clear through the persecution of early Muslims like Ammar bin Yasir, whose parents were killed for their faith. His mother, Sumayyah, and father, Yasir, suffered brutal deaths, serving as powerful examples of the sacrifices endured by the Prophet’s early followers. The torture and killing of Banu Hashim supporters, along with the exiling of others to Abyssinia, stand in contrast to the privileged positions of certain early converts, whose families protected them from harm.

Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) received little support outside his family and close followers. The strength of Islam’s early community lay primarily within Banu Hashim, bolstered by a handful of individuals who accepted suffering in order to preserve the message. Lady Khadija’s support and Imam Ali’s courage in defending the Prophet under life-threatening conditions reflect an unwavering loyalty unmatched by those who were later poised to assume leadership of the Muslim community.

Political Calculations and Strategic Marriages: The Long-Term Ambitions of the First Caliphs

As Islam gained influence, these individuals, particularly Abu Bakr and Umar, positioned themselves strategically. Through marriage alliances with the Prophet, they sought both legitimacy and a lasting foothold in the growing Muslim community. The marriages of their daughters to the Prophet seem not to have been acts of devotion but rather calculated steps, part of a broader ambition to gain influence within the new Islamic order. These connections afforded them both prestige and an implicit claim to power—a plan that would reveal itself fully only after the Prophet’s passing.

The Prophet’s Passing and the Power Struggle that Followed

After the Prophet’s death, the struggle for leadership culminated in a sudden shift away from the Ahl al-Bayt, despite the Prophet’s repeated declarations of Imam Ali (AS) as his chosen successor. The Prophet’s family, already reeling from his loss, now faced betrayal from those who had once stood by them, or so it seemed. Abu Bakr’s swift assumption of leadership, followed by Umar and Uthman, effectively sidelined Imam Ali (AS) and the Prophet’s family from the authority that had been rightfully theirs.

This power struggle took a devastating toll on the Ahl al-Bayt, culminating in the death of Lady Fatima (SA) under suspicious circumstances. Her pleas for justice went unheard, her rights denied, and her final days marked by grief and pain inflicted by those who had once pledged loyalty to her father.

The Lasting Legacy of Lady Khadija’s Sacrifice

In comparison, Lady Khadija’s legacy shines as a beacon of true sacrifice and faith. Her contributions, both material and emotional, became the bedrock of early Islam. The lasting gratitude the Prophet felt for her was evident throughout his life; he would often remember her kindness, calling her the “best of women.” Lady Khadija’s sacrifices, alongside those of the Prophet’s family, continue to stand in contrast to the privileged lives of others who would later wield power in the Muslim community.

Her example reveals a clear divide in motives: while some were willing to give everything for Islam, others capitalized on its rise without enduring its hardships. Lady Khadija’s story serves as a powerful reminder that the truest believers are those who sacrifice without expectation, embodying the values of justice, mercy, and selflessness that the Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) cherished.

Conclusion: A Legacy of Betrayal and the Courage of the Ahl al-Bayt

The sacrifices of Lady Khadija, Imam Ali, and Lady Fatima underscore a dedication to Islam that transcends political gain—a dedication grounded in love, loyalty, and faith. These were the qualities that sustained Islam in its infancy, making their betrayal by certain early figures all the more painful. Despite the best efforts to erase these truths from history, the actions and words of the Ahl al-Bayt continue to testify to their rightful place and their sacrifices for Islam. As readers, we are left to question: if the true believers sacrificed everything, what was it that others were protecting?

Many do not know that Imam Ja’far (AS) was attacked with flames by the oppressors of his time as well, much like the lady of light Al Zahra (AS). The attempt to diminish the lights of Aal Muhammad (SAWA) was seen through out the life of As Sadiq (AS) as well, but the legacy of Ja’far ibn Muhammad lives on📚

“When God showed me that my previous approach was wrong and that the true path is the path of God’s love and servitude, I found myself alone. I had no idea what to do, to the point that I used to go to the mountains and desert outside the city in the morning and stay there all alone until sunset. I was lost and undecided for forty to fifty days, such that I could not eat or sleep anymore because of that pressure. It was under such conditions that the spark of God’s mercy shined upon my heart, a delicate divine breeze caressed my soul, and I finally found my path” - Ayatollah Ansari Hamadani
