Praying humbly to the Lord

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا۟ نَدْعُ أَبْنَآءَنَاوَأَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ 61 

61.  And whoso disputeth with thee concerning him, after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, say (unto him): Come! We will summon our sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, then we will pray humbly (to our Lord) and (solemnly) invoke the curse of Allah upon those who lie.
61.  Faman  haaajjaka  fiihi  mim-ba’-di  maa  jaaa-‘aka  minal-‘ilmi  faqul  ta-‘aalaw  nad-‘u  ‘ab-naaa-‘anaa  wa  ‘ab-naaa-‘akum  wa  nisaaa-‘anaa  wa  nisaaa-‘akum  wa  ‘anfusanaa  wa  ‘anfusakum,  summa  nabta-hil  fanaj-‘al-la’-natAllaahi  ‘alal-kaazibiin.

Commentary
      
The Christians of Syria (Najraan), who came to argue and debate with the Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), presented their entire false beliefs. Allah Almighty replied them by means of Holy Qur’an and silenced them.

Even after hearing the clear proofs, those Christians of Najraan did not believe in it and remained firm on their false faith. Allah Almighty commanded to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) for establishing Mubaahilah (accusing each other) with them (both groups would have to get together with their families and pray with humble that whosoever from us is liar, invocation would be prayed for his curse and the wrath of God). At its first step, this situation of Mubaahilah will clarify that which the group has really believed in his inner truth and up to which extent. Hearing the invitation of Mubaahilah, the group from Syria (the Christians of Najraan) requested for respite so that they should answer after consultation. When they got together for consultation, then wise persons from them said, “You people have understood in your hearts that Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is really a Messenger of God Almighty. He has described clear and decisive words about Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), and you also know that Allah Almighty had promised to send His Messenger from the children of Ishmael, and it is possible that He (Muhammad) (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) may be that same Messenger. Setting up the Mubaahilah (accusing each other) against any Messenger, can result that none of them (whether those are younger or elder) could be saved from destruction and torment.

After consulting, Syrians (Najraani Christians) attended the court of last Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). They saw that the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was coming out with Hassan and Hussain (His daughter’s sons), Fatimah (his daughter) and Ali (his son in law) (may God be pleased with them). Looking upon these luminous faces, their superior Clergyman said, “I am looking such pure faces whose prayer can shake the mountains from their places. Do not ruin yourselves by fixing the Mubaahilah with them.” At last, they decided that they should not to compete. So they returned after reconciling. It has been mentioned in ‘Ahaadith (the Sayings) that the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said, “If those people would have done Mubaahilah (accusing each other), then it would rain such fire upon them that Allah Almighty would subvert the Syria (Najraan).
