Purpose Of Hijrah Of Prophet Muhammad (sws): Freedom Or Rule?
So for understanding Ghamidi sahab’s view, i went to Hayat e Rasool e Ummi. But first, does Ghamidi sahab totally agree with that Seerah book or he disagrees, if yes then how much. Perhaps …….%. Secondly, on page 253, second last line, it’s said that “when you will get dominated so would you come back to your nation and leave us”. And on page 258, God said to Prophet SAW to read a dua which is “Lord! Wherever you want to make me enter, let it be an entry with honour and from wherever you want me to leave, make me leave with honour and make political authority my helper especially from Your self”. So it can be interpreted as that Prophet SAW did migrate for political power (and actually above is the translation of Ghamidi sahab. The actual Ayat is:وَ قُلۡ رَّبِّ اَدۡخِلۡنِیۡ مُدۡخَلَ صِدۡقٍ وَّ اَخۡرِجۡنِیۡ مُخۡرَجَ صِدۡقٍ وَّ اجۡعَلۡ لِّیۡ مِنۡ لَّدُنۡکَ سُلۡطٰنًا نَّصِیۡرًا. So Ghamidi sahab did translate it as for political power). So 1. did Prophet SAW migrate for getting power and establishing a state 2.just liberation from persecution 3. Or people from Yathrib got to know that because Prophet SAW is a Rasool then ultimately he is gonna prevail. And dua for political power is to protect self and others from the enemies (Makkans).
