MCQ Detailed View

Bait e Rizwan, also known as Bait e Shajrah, was a pivotal event in Islamic history that took place in the 6th year after Hijrah (6 AH). This historic pledge occurred under a Keekar tree (also known as a thorny acacia), in the area of Hudaybiyyah, just outside the boundaries of Makkah.

The pledge took place when the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and his companions set out to perform Umrah. However, they were stopped by the Quraysh at Hudaybiyyah. During negotiations, a rumor spread that Hazrat Usman (R.A), who had been sent to Makkah as an envoy, was killed. In response to this, the Prophet (ﷺ) gathered his companions and took a solemn pledge of allegiance under the Keekar tree, vowing to stand firm and fight if necessary.

This moment of unity and loyalty is mentioned in the Qur'an in Surah Al-Fath (48:18), where Allah expresses His pleasure with the believers who gave the pledge under the tree. It is called "Bait e Rizwan" because it earned the pleasure (Rizwan) of Allah.

The Keekar tree under which the pledge was made is remembered as the “Shajrah” (tree) of Bait. Though it no longer exists, its significance remains deeply rooted in Islamic history as a symbol of commitment, courage, and collective faith.
