Call to Prophet hood and Preaching by the Prophet

• The Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (S.A.W) was 40 years

of age praying in the cave of Hira when the Angel Hazrat
Jibraeel (A.S) came to him and told him that he is a Prophet.
• That was when the first verses of Surah Al Alaq were
revealed to him. “Iqra” which means Read.
• These verses were revealed to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W).
When he came to know of being the last prophet, the first
person to accept it was his wife Hazrat Bibi Khadija who first
accepted Islam.
• She was the first person to Accept Islam. Then Hazrat Abu
Bakr, Hazrat Zaid, Hazrat Ali also accepted Islam. But the
preaching of Islam was slow because the Quraish didn’t want
the new religion to spread. In the first three years, only 40
people accepted Islam. It was this slow.
How Patience is defined for all those Opposition &
Persecutions faced by Prophet Muhammad PBUH

• One of the marvelous qualities of our beloved Prophet

Muhammad (peace be upon him) was his infinite
patience.
• “God is certainly with those who patiently
persever.”We can convey the idea of sabr only by
phrases such as endurance against afflictions, patience
with delay, perseverance against hardships,
steadfastness in the face of setbacks, and courage
against hostilities.
• Call to Prophethood
• When Allah appointed him His last Prophet, he was faced with
the most brutal persecution and hostility from his own people.
• But these harsh experiences of life did not make him a cynic;
on the contrary, they perfected his faith in God, making him all
the more strongly committed to his God-given mission.
•
• 13 years of Persecution
• During the 13 years of his life in Makkah as the messenger of
God, he faced all forms of abuse, boycott, expulsion and
threats of physical violence.
• Yet he never budged an inch away from his mission. Rather he
was gentle, considerate and sympathetic even to his enemies.
• During the early days of his preaching, the people of Makkah
had approached him through his uncle Abu Talib and made
very tempting offers to him, such as the leadership of the City
of Makkah, the most beautiful girl in marriage, and wealth of
immense proportions.
• The Prophet (peace be upon him) spurned all these offers and
said:
• “I swear by the name of God, O Uncle, that if they place
the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand in
return for giving up this matter (calling people to Islam), I
will never desist until either God makes it triumph or I
perish defending it.”
• This steadfastness and constancy against temptations was
unusual in an Arab of those days.
• Migration to Madina (Yasrib)
• And imagine the day when the Prophet (peace be upon
him) had to leave his home, his city, and his people and
immigrate to another place!
• The Hijrah, as the emigration of the Prophet from Makkah
to Medina is known, was a great sacrifice and a painful
decision for the Prophet at the time when he undertook
it.But his personal comforts, likes, and dislikes had no
value in the face of the immense task before him.
Year Of Grief
 619 A.D was called the year of grief because prophet
(pbuh) lost hazrat Khadija (R.A) and hazrat abu talib
(R.A) both in one year
 As per tradition of quraish when the person who provided
protection pass away the protection Is discontinued.
 Abu lahab who was the new leader of Bani Hashim and
who already had a hatred stance against prophet (pbuh)
 The punishment and violence against prophet(pbuh) and
his followers increased to all time high
 When the situation got unbearable prophet (pbuh)
decided to go to taif
Visit to Taif
• Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H)’s visit to taif has been marked one
of the most important and significant event in the islamic
history. As the Quraish grew their hostility towards Islam
and the Prophet Muhammad (‫ )صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬had lost the
protection of his tribe after the uncertain death of his Uncle,
Abu Mutalib.
• The Makkans found that Prophet Muhammad (‫صلى هللا عليه‬
‫ )وسلم‬is very vulnerable to attack so they utilised this
opportunity and opposed him.
• The Quraish did not allowed the spread of Islam openly in
these years so Prophet Muhammad (‫)صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬
decided to preach his religion in the important areas of taif
which were dominated by Banu Thaqeef the original rivals
of Quraish of Makkah.
• Prophet Muhammad (‫ )صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬was accompanied by
Hazrat Zaid, On the arrival Prophet Muhammad (‫صلى هللا عليه‬
‫ )وسلم‬was welcomed by the leaders of taif and informed the
about the authentic basics of islam, to which to they neglected
the preachings when Prophet Muhammad (‫)صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬
intensified the teachings they turned violent and appointing
street urchins, Slaves, beggers who started pelting on Prophet
Muhammad (‫ & )صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬Hazrat Zaid with stones, rocks
and pebbles brutally hurting both of them in such a way that
Prophet Muhammad (‫’)صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬s shoes were bloated in
blood on return Prophet Muhammad (‫ )صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬prayed to
Al-Mighty Allah to forgive them and enlighten them with
guidance. The main significance of travel to taif was the
Prophet Muhammad (‫ )صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬displayed the utmost
behaviour of forgiveness and mercy indicating the peace
loving nature of and proving that islam is a tranquil religion
promoting peace and kindness.
Battle of badr
• The main raid was organized against a particularly wealthy caravan
escorted by Abu Sufyaan, the official head of the Quraysh. According to
the traditional accounts, when word of the caravan reached Prophet
Muhammad (‫ )صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬arranged a raiding party of about 300-317
men consisting of both muhajarin and ansar. By filling the wells on the
caravan route near Medina with sand, Prophet Muhammad ( ‫صلى هللا عليه‬
‫ )وسلم‬army lured Abu Sufyaan’s army into battle at Badr, near Medina.
There the two parties clashed in with each other, three men from each
side were chosen to fight an initial skirmish, and then the armies charged
toward one another for full combat. Despite the superior numbers of the
Quraish’s forces (about 1,000 men), army Prophet Muhammad ( ‫صلى هللا‬
‫ )عليه وسلم‬scored a complete victory, and many prominent Number of
kuffars were killed.
• Prophet Muhammad (‫ )صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬alongside his Ummah proved
victorious in this battle due to their ability to stand firm, steadfast and
united. While the Quraish proved frail and hence easily dispersed after
being misled by Satan.
 Battle of badr
• And [remember] when Satan made their deeds pleasing to them
and said, “No one can overcome you today from among the
people, and indeed, I am your protector.”
• But when the two armies sighted each other, he turned on his
heels and said, “Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I see
what you do not see; indeed I fear Allah. And Allah is severe in
penalty.” Quran 8:48 Moreover by Allah’s decree, Angels
descending from Heaven came to assist the Muslims in this battle.
A handful of dust in the Prophet’s hand was also transformed into a
gigantic whirlwind that dispersed the enemy.
• The battle was all about the patience and prayers that Prophet
Muhammad (‫ )صلى هللا عليه وسلم‬had the affirmation on Allah and the
prayers he made, with all these blessings he won over the brutal
enemies. After his tremendous struggles and patience, Quraish

for Islam but when then they lost sight of their goal and

just being polite to others and waiting until someone is
done talking.
