Suspicion of the Revenge of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) Against the Jews of Banu Qurayza and the Response to it

Abstract

The enemies of Islam, in the past and present, want to destroy the whole Islam, by questioning Muslims about their beliefs, distorting the just rulings of Islam, and challenging the Noble Qur’an and the Prophetic Sunnah, as they are the main source from which Muslims derive their rulings and everything related to their lives and last.There have been many forms of these challenges, especially the stabbing against the Prophet. They challenged his prophethood and message, and aroused suspicions and slanders about his life.

Among these contests: Their claim that the Prophet (ﷺ) was killing prisoners of war; They infer that the Jews of Banu Qurayza were rooted out, and he took vengeance on them with the utmost revenge; thirst for bloodshed, and a love to kill, burn and destroy, and that Banu Qurayza conspired against the Prophet (ﷺ) and his esteemed companions; It was just rumors and lies made by Muslims in order to justify the killing and slaughter of Banu Qurayza.

Therefore, it was necessary for us to confront this frenzied campaign, reject these suspicions, and refute them with evidence and irrefutable arguments, and among these arguments is that the Banu Qurayza betrayed the covenant with the Messenger of Allah, and threatened the Muslim women and children, and helped Quraish during their siege of Muslims, so the punishment of the Prophet was just by killing. Both the laws of war and the laws of peace alike acknowledge what the Prophet did to Banu Qurayza, because it is a just punishment and a sound preventive measure to protect Muslims from their evil and protect them from their ploy.
