@Hadithoftheday Ta'if.
When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ went to Ta'if to invite the people of Ta'if to Islam, his companion Zaid ibn Harith R.A was with him.
The people of Taif rejected his message and they set on him a crowd of their teenagers and servants, who chased and stoned him.
@Hadithoftheday Prophet ﷺ's feet were bleeding and he was in a very sorry state. Zaid bin Harith R.A tried hard to defend him and protect him from the stones.
With people jeering at him as his ankles bled, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ran out, finding shelter in an empty orchard.
@Hadithoftheday Prophet Muhammad had lost his two strongest supporters and sources of comfort, his wife, Khadijah R.A,& his uncle, Abu Talib in the particular year.
Without the protection of his uncle, Abu Talib, in Makkah, tortures increased from polythiests and Prophet ﷺ marched towards Taif
@Hadithoftheday Prophet ﷺ wanted to spread the message to the people of Taif, in hopes that they would believe and accept the message of Islam .
He trekked from Makkah to Taif to invite the people to the belief in One Allah.
@Hadithoftheday After reaching Taif, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ met with the chiefs of the major tribe in Taif, Thaqeef tribe.
He ﷺ told them about Islam, worshipping only one Allah, and leaving idol worshipping. They rejected his message and insulted him.
@Hadithoftheday Not only did they refuse to listen to his message, but they unleashed the children of their tribe to throw stones at him and drive him out of their town.
His feet were soon bleeding and The Prophet ﷺ left that place and then sought refuge in an orchard.
@Hadithoftheday Alone, bleeding, and rejected, Prophet ﷺ sat down and prayed to Allah. He ﷺ was so compassionate and merciful that he ﷺ didn't ask Allah to punish the people of Taif or to execute revenge against them.
@Hadithoftheday As the Prophet sat down, he said this highly emotional and touching prayer:

“To You, My Lord, I complain of my weakness, lack of support and the humiliation I am made to receive. Most compassionate and merciful! You are the Lord of the weak, and You are my Lord. ++
@Hadithoftheday To whom do You leave me?
To a distant person who receives me with hostility?
Or to an enemy to whom You have given power over me?
If You are not displeased with me, I do not care what I face. I would, however, be much happier with Your mercy. ++
@Hadithoftheday I seek refuge in the light of Your face by which all darkness is dispelled and both this life and the life to come are put on their right courses against incurring Your wrath or being the subject of Your anger. ++
@Hadithoftheday To You I submit, until I earn Your pleasure. Everything is powerless without Your support.”
The supplication Prophet ﷺ said at Taif should be memorized by all Muslims and repeated every time when we are in a difficult situation or have been wronged or when any calamity strikes.
@Hadithoftheday At that moment, Jibreel A.S came to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and told him that if he wished, Allah could order an angel to collapse the two mountains surrounding the people of Taif and crush them.
He ﷺ opted for mercy and not violence towards them
@Hadithoftheday Instead of seeking revenge against the people of Taif, he said to Jibreel A.S, I rather hope that Allah will raise from among their descendants people who will worship Allah the One, and will not ascribe partners to Him.
@Hadithoftheday Look to Taif today and we come to appreciate Prophet Muhammad ﷺ's vision, patience, and mercy. Today Taif has a population of 1000000+ people, predominantly Muslim.
@Hadithoftheday Lessons:
1. To be patient when preaching the truth.
2. Bigger the assignment, the more we need to be patient and hard working.
3. Every difficulty entails opportunity and thus has high chances of bringing success if tolerated with sincerity.
@Hadithoftheday 4. Forgiveness Over Revenge
5. When we are grieved and extremely hurt we should react in the most beautiful way

Anas Ibn Malik R.A had a younger brother who was called "Abu 'Umair" by nickname (kunyah).
Abu Umair had a nughayr (a kind of bird or sparrow) which he played with and it died.

When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard about it, he sat with Abu Umair, for a long time, consoling the boy over the death of his bird!
Anas bin Malik R.A narrates:
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to visit us. I had a younger brother who was called Abu ‘Umair by nickname (kunyah).
He had a sparrow which he played with, but it died.
So one day the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came to see him and saw him grieving.

One of the important events that occurred in the month of Muharram was the Battle of Karbala.
This battle is one of the most memorable battles for Muslims.

Hussain (R.A) and his companions’ courage against oppression have become an example for Muslims who experience oppression to take a step toward fighting against any form of oppression.
The battle of Karbala took place on 10 Muharram 61 AH at Karbala, precisely near the Euphrates River, or the area now known as Iraq.

The 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah is the Day of Arafah. Arafah was the day on which Allah perfected His religion, completed His favours upon His beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, & approved Islam as a way of life
There is no other day like it (Arafah) in the whole year.

The Prophet ﷺ said, 'There is no day on which Allah frees people from the Fire more so than on the Day of ‘Arafah. Indeed, He draws near and then boasts of them to the angels then says, “What do these want?“' [Muslim]
It is when the religion of Islam was perfected.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Today I have perfected for you your religion and completed upon you My blessing and I have chosen for you Islam as [your] religion” (5:3)
This verse was revealed on the day of Arafah.
