Masjid-e-Fath

 

 

Masjid-e-Fath (Masjid-e-Ahzaab)( "mosque of victory") is at the top of a mountain. This is named after the Muslims victory in the Battle of Khandaq

 

 

There are many small mosques on the edge of Sala'kahar which indicate the map of the Battle of Khandaq. The army of Islam had camped here. Later a mosque was built here and it became famous with the name of Masjid-e-Fath. It is said that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) prayed for the victory of Muslims here and it was here that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) got the news of victory of Muslims. Hence it is named so. The famous warrior of Arab, Amr bin Abdewad was killed by Hazrat Ali bin Abi Talib in this very battle. It is written that the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said on this occasion:

ضَرْبَۃُ عَلِیٍّ یَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ خَیْرٌ مِّنْ عِبَادَۃِ الثَّقَلَیْنِ۔

 

"A blow of Ali on the day of khandaq is better than the worship of Jinns and men.''

 

 

It is recommended to pray 2 rakats Namaz of respect and after that recite the following Dua:

یَا صِرَیْخَ الْمَكْرُوْبِیْنَ وَ یَا مُجِیْبَ دَعْوَۃِ الْمُضْطَرِّیْنَ وَ یَا مُغِیْثَ الْمَہْمُوْمِیْنَ اِكْشِفْ عَنِّیْ ضُرِّیْ وَ ہَمِّیْ وَ كَرْبِیْ وَ غَمِّیْ كَمَا كَشَفْتَ عَنْ نَبِیِّكَ صَلَّی اللّٰہُ عَلَیْہِ وَ آلِہٖ ہَمَّہٗ وَ كَفَیْتَہٗ ہَوْلَ عَدُوِّہٖ وَ اكْفِنِیْ مَا اَہَمَّنِیْ مِنْ اَمْرِ الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَۃِ یَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِیْنَ۔

yaa saree-khal makroobeena wa yaa mojeeba da'watil muztarreena wa yaa moghee-sal mahmoomeena ikshif a'nnee zurree wa hammee wa karbee wa ghammee kamaa ka-shafta a'n nabiyyeka sallal laaho a'layhe wa aalehi hammahu wa kafaytahu hawla a'duwwehi wak-fenee maa ahammanee min amrid dunyaa wal aakherate yaa arhamar raahemeena.

There are some small Masjids near Masjid-e-Fath: Masjid-e-Ali (a.s.), Masjid-e-Fatemah (s.a.), Masjid-e-Salmaan (r.a.), Masjid-e-Umar and Masjid-e-Abu Bakr. It is better to perform 2 rakats Namaz of respect in each mosque.
