The of Sirah Muhammad Prophet The Islamic Bulletin www.islamicbulletin.org 2 of 4 The disbelievers of Quraish gathered in Dar al-Nadwa to plot to kill the Prophet(S). The next day, a group of Quraish men surrounded the house of Prophet(S) in order to assassinate him. When the Prophet(S) emerged, he threw dust in their direction which temporarily blinded them. They remained unaware of his exit until morning. At this point, on the 27th of Safar, the Prophet(S) began the journey of migration along with his loyal companion Abu Bakr (R.A). The Prophet(S) stopped in Quba, which was a place at the entrace of Medina for a few days wherein he established the rst masjid, namely Masjid Quba. The Jewish rabbis came to the Prophet(S) in order to test him and determine whether he was their long awaited prophet. Many Jewish scholars accepted Islam upon meeting him. The Prophet(S) and his companions (R.A) built Masjid al-Nabawi as well as his living quarters. As the Muhajirin(Muslims who emigrated to Medina) had left all their possessions in Makkah, Prophet(S) established the bond of brotherhood between the Muhajirin and Ansar(Muslims of Medina). An Ansari took a Muhajir as his brother, which established the bond of Brotherhood between the Muhajirin and Ansar. The Ansar then divided his entire wealth with that man whom he had taken as his Brother. The Athan, call to prayer was established. As the Quraish prepared to attack Madinah, Allah(SWT) granted the Muslims permission to defend themselves and thus Jihad was ordained. Salman al-Farsi and Abdullah bin Salam the famous Jewish scholar, both accepted Islam.

Eleventh Year of Prophethood The Me’raj/Isra took place wherein the Prophet(S) was taken from Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, to Masjid al-Aqsa in Palestine in one night. In this journey, Prophet(S) physically toured the heavens. It was during this this journey that the 5 daily prayers became obligatory. Six men from the tribe of Khazraj accepted Islam.

Twelfth Year of Prophethood First pledge of Aqabah took place, in which 12 men from Madinah pledged their allegiance to the Prophet(S). Seventh-Ninth Years of Prophethood The Quraish initiated an oppressive boycott to the Muslims and any supporters of the Propeht(S). To show that it was o cial, they hung the charter of the boycott inside the Kabah, with the words, “ In the name of God.” The three year long boycott caused massive starvation amongst the Muslims. They were forced to survive on leaves. Sometimes if they were lucky they would nd skin, which they would roast to eat. Mansur bin Ikramah, the scribe who drafted the charter of the boycott, was soon punished by Allah. His hands became disabled and he was never to write again. "You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful model of (conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day and who engages much in the praise of Allah" Quran: 33 -21. Tenth Year of Prophethood The Quraish again asked Abu Talib, to make his nephew stop preaching. The Propeht(S), by Allah(SWT), said if the Quraish were to nd that charter hanging inside the Kabah was eaten away except for the words, “In the name of Allah,” then they would stop the boycott. The Quraish found this to be true and so stopped the boycott. The Prophet’s (SAW) uncle Abu Talib, who had given him constant support, and his wife Khadija, with whom he had shared a happy life for twenty- ve years, passed away only three days apart from one another (10 Ramadan/19 April 620). Their demise deeply saddened the Prophet and the Muslims. Thus, this year came to be known as the Year of Sorrow. The Prophet(S) went to the city of Taif to ask for help. The people of Taif mocked and attacked him. On the return from Ta’if an angel asked the Prophet(S) for permission to crush the people of Ta’if by bringing together the mountains on either side of the two cities, Prophet(S) refused and instead prayed for them.
