The
Revolutionary Struggle
The endeavour
and struggle of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to bring about the Islamic revolution
too was unique and unparalleled in the entire human history, in so far as all
the variegated stages of the revolutionary process were completed in one man’s
life span. There is on other instance in world history in which a propounder of
a revolutionary ideology — starting from theoretical dissemination and going
through all the phases of organization, passive resistance, challenge, and
armed conflict — successfully brought about a revolution. This, in fact, is the
most remarkable feat of our beloved Prophet (SAW) that, starting the mission of
making Islam dominant from his individual self, he established the “Kingdom of
Heaven on earth” within a brief span of twenty three years (of lunar calendar)
so that Islam was practiced in its totality, both in letter and in spirit,
throughout the length and breadth of the Arabian peninsula.
Now, we
would like to discuss two important points which link up with ideas presented
in the above lines. The first point is about the short-sightedness and erroneous
judgement of Western scholars vis-à-vis the revolutionary struggle of Prophet
Muhammad (SAW), while the other relates to the ummatic obligation of Muslims
with regard to completing the mission of the Prophet.
