How did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) confront the polytheists, the Zoroastrians, and the People of the Book in the early stages of his call?

The Shaykh : What is the action, what did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and his Companions do, when their number at that time was small compared to the number of Muslims today, which has become large and very large? This is where the answer begins. Did the Arab Muslims fight their enemies, meaning their own people, in the early stages of the call? Did the Muslims fight the Christians in the beginning? Did they fight the Persians in the beginning? The answer is no, no, the answer to all of that is no. So what did the Muslims do? We must now do exactly what the early Muslims did, because what befalls us is what befell them, and what they used to treat their affliction with is what we must use to treat our affliction. I think this introduction implies the answer to all those present, and this implication will be confirmed by explicit wording. I say that it appears from this historical and logical sequence that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) only supported the early Muslims, who were very few in number compared to all the disbelievers and polytheists of all their schools and religions, by their faith. So if the treatment or remedy for that intense hostility that surrounded the call at that time is the same hostility that Muslims today should address, then the fruit of this treatment will be realized just as the fruit of that first treatment was realized. And as they say, history repeats itself. But better than this saying is that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has established laws in His servants and in His creation, which He created and perfected in creation and organization, and He perfected its organization in all of that. These are laws or laws that do not change and do not alter. It is the law of Allah, and you will not find any change in the law of Allah, and you will not find any alteration in the law of Allah. The Muslim must observe these laws and care for them with due care, especially those that are from the legislative laws. There are legislative laws and there are cosmic laws. It may be said today, in the modern era, that these are natural laws. These cosmic natural laws are shared in knowledge by the Muslim and the disbeliever, the righteous and the wicked, meaning what sustains the physical life of man: food, drink, clean air, and the like. If a person does not eat, does not drink, does not breathe air, that means he has exposed himself to death, physical death. Can he live if he departs from adopting these cosmic laws? The answer is no. It is the law of Allah, and you will not find any change in the law of Allah. This is what, as I said earlier, every person knows through experience, with no difference between the Muslim and the disbeliever, and the righteous and the wicked. But what concerns us now is to know that there are legislative laws. We must know that there are legislative laws. Whoever adopts them will reach their goals and reap their fruits, and whoever does not adopt them will not reach the objectives for which those legislative laws were established, just as we said regarding the cosmic laws: if a person adopts them and applies them, he reaches their goals. Similarly, the legislative laws: if the Muslim takes them, the purpose for which Allah established those laws to be realized will be realized, otherwise it will not.
