Miracle of the prophet: Makkah will remain a land of Islām until the last hour

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ‏ “‏ لاَ هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا ‏”‏

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbās that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said on the day of the Conquest of Makkah:

There is no Hijrah (migration) now, but (only) Jihād (fighting for the cause of Islām) and Niyyah (intention for purpose) ; So when you are called (for Jihād) then go forth. (Sahīh Muslim 1353)

Imām Nawawī said: (meaning) no Hijrah from Makkah because it became a land of Islām. (Riyād Al-Sālihīn, hadīth #3)

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn said:

The annulment (of Hijrah) here is annulment of Hijrah from Makkah as stated by the author (Imām Nawawī), because after the Conquest, Makkah became a land of Islām and will never return to being a land of kufr (disbelief).

This contains evidence that Makkah will never return to be a land of kufr (disbelief). It will rather continue to be a land of Islām until the last hour or until Allāh wills. (Sharh Riyād Al-Sālihīn 1/32)

Imām An-Nawawī said:

This contains a mu’jizah (miracle) from the messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) that it (Makkah) will remain a land of Islām from which Hijrāh is not conceivable (i.e possible). (Sharh Sahīh Muslim Hadith #1353)
