| As we read Some Special Events Yesterday, from seerat Al Mustafa. Now it's time to read some more today. |
|---|
Today, we will read about when Our holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (sallallahu alihe wasallam) got Nubuwwat. And some events after that.
Sunrise of Prophethood |
|---|
When the Prophet reached the blessed age of forty years, in the cave where he used to go for worship, Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) came down with a revelation. And the first five verses of Surah Al-Alaq were revealed.
After this incident Hazrat Muhammad came home and told the whole thing to his wife, she encouraged him and said golden words. And said that Allah will not leave you alone.
Thus, the name of Hazrat Khadijah is the first among those who believe in the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), followed by Hazrat Abu Bakr among the free Men,
Hazrat Ali among the children, and Hazrat Zayd bin Haritha among the slaves.
For more or less three years, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) secretly invited Islam. And gradually people continued to become Muslims.
And this is 3 Nabvi (A Category for Counting Years)
Nabwi refer to the few years that the Holy Prophet spent in Makkah before the migration of the Prophet to Madinah, and after receiving the prophethood.
Invitation announcement |
|---|
After three years, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was commanded by Allah to call People of Mecca, Openly to Allah. Upon this, the Prophet ascended Mount Safa and conveyed this message to all the people. The first person who rejected the Prophet's words was Abu Lahab, the uncle of the Prophet.
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began to declare the evils of false gods and idols, and called people to one God. The Quraish were very angry about this.
Abu Jahl and Umayyah Bulahab, Uqba, Abu Sufyan,
Waleed and Aas, Utba And all like them, were as brilliant as they were.
They came and threatened Abu Talib.
That the nephew showed what he did.
Leave it with them or join the battle.
Abu Talib also got scared once and called the Prophet to him.
He said to them, "Look, nephew."
Abandon this invitation,
on this the Prophet said
"that even if the moon and the sun are placed on my hand, I will not abandon this invitation."
Then Abu Talib accompanied the Prophet until his death.
Islam E Hazrat Umar |
|---|
Hazrat Umar believed six years after Prophethood, whose incident of believing is very famous. And the Quraish saw that the whole community was supporting the Prophet, so they would torture any Muslim they found, and make them helpless. Abu Lahab was the only one of the community who was with the enemies of the Prophet.
(Some) Mujizaat E Nabwi |
|---|
Major miracles like the miracle of Shaq al-Qamar, the miracle of radd sun, etc. are also included in the list of miracles.
Radd Shams means the sun setting and then rising.
Muslims Migration to Abyssinia |
|---|
Then there were two imcidents happened, of migration to Abyssinia, and the conversion of Najashi to Islam by the speech of Hazrat Jafar bin Abu Talib, such incidents occur.
Sha'ab Abi Talib |
|---|
Then, a major event in the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is known as Sha'b Abi Talib. In which all Bani Hashem were confined in a gorge, and even food was stopped from them. It was a cruel move on the part of the Quraysh, so that Bani Hashim would get fed up and hand over the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to us.
After three years of hardship, this covenant ended because of the food of a worm. The covenant that Quraysh had hung on the wall of the Kaaba. Worms ate it, and all the letters were eaten, only the name of Allah was left on it.
Aam Ul Hazn (Year of Sadness) |
|---|
As soon as this siege ended, it was the fifty year of the Prophet, which is called the year of Hazan and Al-Malal. Because Hazrat Khadijah, the wife of the Prophet (PBUH) died in that year, and Abu Talib also died. A benevolent shadow receded from within the house, and a strong pillar that used to stand among the people of the Prophet receded.
