P. 253
Harun Yahya
Allah has confirmed His Messenger's vision with truth: You will enter
the Masjid al-Haram [Sacred Mosque] 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.
(Qur'an, 48:27)
One night in Madinah, the Prophet (saas) dreamed that the believ-
ers would enter the Sacred Mosque and walk around the Ka`bah. After
he awoke, he gave this good news to the believers, for those who had
migrated from Makkah to Madinah with him had not been able to
return since.
In Surat al-Fath 27, Allah revealed to the Prophet (saas) that He
would help and support him, that the dream was true, and that the
believers would enter Makkah. A short while later, with the Treaty of
Hudaybiyah and the conquest of Makkah, the believers entered the
Sacred Mosque in complete safety, just as the dream had foretold. That
was how Allah showed that it had been His will that the Prophet's
(saas) dream be fulfilled.
On closer consideration, this verse can be seen to announce yet
another victory that will take place before Makkah's capture: the cap-
ture of the Khyber Fortress, which was under the control of the Jews,
before they entered Makkah. 196
Other verses that give the glad tidings of Makkah's conquest are
given below:
He held their hands back from you, and your hands from them in the val-
ley of Makkah, after giving you the upper hand over them. Allah sees
what you do. (Qur'an, 48:24)
Truly We have granted you a clear victory, so that Allah may forgive
you your earlier errors and any later ones, complete His blessing upon
you, and guide you on a straight path. And so that Allah may help you
with a mighty help. (Qur'an, 48:1-3)
