The Conquest of the Fort of Qamoos at Khaibar and Its Spiritual Lessons

Conquest of Khaibar (Fort of Qamoos): The Fort of Qamoos was the strongest fort in Khaibar. When Hazrat Abu Bakr (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam/RA) and Hazrat Umar (RA) were unable to breach it, Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) announced that the next day he would hand the flag to a person beloved to Allah and His Messenger.
Virtue of Hazrat Ali (RA): Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) cured Hazrat Ali's (RA) eye infection using his blessed saliva and handed him the banner to lead the charge.
Priority of Dawah over Conquest: Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) instructed Hazrat Ali (RA) to call the enemy to Islam first, stating that guiding a single person to faith is far superior to possessing valuable red camels.
Duel with Marhab: The confrontation with the Jewish leader Marhab featured war poetry aimed at demoralizing the enemy, leading to his eventual defeat by Hazrat Muhammad bin Maslamah (RA) and Hazrat Ali (RA).
Marriage to Hazrat Safiyyah (RA): Hazrat Safiyyah (RA), daughter of a chieftain, was captured, freed, and honorably wedded by Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to uphold her noble status.
Detachment from Dunya: Rather than displacing the Jewish farmers, the Muslims allowed them to retain half their harvest, choosing to focus their energies on spreading Islam across the world.

Hadith: "By Allah, if Allah guides a single man through you, it is better for you than possessing red camels." (Sahih Muslim)

Focus on spreading the message of Islam and seeking guidance (hidayah) for humanity rather than accumulating worldly status or wealth.
Keep religious occasions like Nikah simple and free from unnecessary delay or worldly pomp.
Actively participate in efforts for Deen, such as spending time in Jamaat, trusting that every sacrifice made for Allah's cause bears fruit.
