In calling this the
'first' blood shed in Islam, Ibn Ishak evidently thinks of
the profuse bloodshed by which it was followed, down to his own
days. But how much more significative must the expression appear
to us now, when we remember the countless streams of blood
poured out in the cause of Islam, during all the subsequent
centuries! What a contrast between Christ Who founded His
religion by the shedding of His own blood, and Mohammed who
established Islam by shedding the blood of others! —
