His Adolescence/First Battle

The Prophet (s) was 15 years old already and signs of strength, bravery, firmness and wisdom were already obvious in his face and ways.

1/8
The Arabs of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyya) spent the whole year in fighting and plundering. However, they don't fight in the four
sacred months in a year (ie. Rajab, Dhul Qa'd, Dhul Haj and Muharram).

During this time, they open their trade markets

2/8
This conventant was held at high esteem by the Arabs. These times afforded them serenity, peace and harmony.

A misunderstanding brewed up between the Arabs which later manifested into the 4th Fujar Battle [it is named so because it violates the afformentioned conventant].

3/8
It was during this time he witnessed his first battle.

His participation in this battle at such young age tells us about the unparalleled valour of the Prophet (s). His bravery knows no bounds and even heros such as Umar (r) says:

4/8
"Whenever matters became difficult for us on the battle front we took refuge with the Prophet of Allah and none of us was nearer to the enemy than the Prophet himself".

وأكرم خلق اللهﷺ أعدل خلقهﷺ
من الناس أسخى بل من الناس أشجع

5/8
The Prophet's participation was rather indirect. He was only there to assist his uncle Abu Talib by warding off arrows shot at him.

This battle first started off with man from the Kanana tribe killing a man from Hawazin due to envy. The Kanana and the Quraysh were allies.

6/8
Hence, the Quraysh had to join in the war.

This war reportedly lasted beyond 4 years, and Muhammad(s) participated in order to protect his loving uncle.

He was a shepherd. He said: "All Prophets have been shepherds for some time before attaining prophethood".

7/8
From here, Rasul (s) ventured into trading fullh, which would lead him into meeting the most dignified woman to have step foot on this earth, Nana Khadijah (r).

To be continued, in sha Allah.

8/8

PART 8 #BiographyOfRasul

His Adulthood

Not just him, but everyone in the family in which he was born possessed
elements of heroism and bravery. He was strong, healthy and now rich.

1/14
He led a life of prudence and generosity. This was not the norm with most Arabians at the time. It made their home a center of cynosure, a beacon of hope for the poor and needy, who always hovered around them. He and his beautiful wife always kept the help coming.

2/14
There was a drought and famine during which the Prophet & his wife set a new pace for philanthropy.

His foster mother, Halima also came to visit during this time and he used to place his cloak beneath her feet and show her maximum love and care.

She loved him dearly too.

PART 7 #BiographyOfRasul

The Prophet Meets Nana Khadijah

After the incident of the Christian monk who advised Abu Talib not to go with Rasulullah to Syria, Abu Talib sold his goods at cheaper rate in Basra in order to return home.

1/14
Abu Talib inherited the acts of providing food/water for pilgrims from his father Abdul Muttallib, which costs him.

Additionally, the Quraysh battle attracted more spendings.

Now, the battles have subsided and trading resumed, but Abu Talib was in a financial crises

2/14
So, he suggested that the Prophet (s) introduces himself to one of the wealthiest people of Quraysh, a Lady, Khadija bint Khuwaylid.

Khadija always employed merchants for her business and was in search of an honest merchant.

She heard about the Prophet (s),

THE DONKEY AMONG DONKEYS

"Beast of burden" as they are nicknamed are one of the most lowly mammals in the world. Ko a Hausance ma, idan aka ce da mutum "jaaki", gaskiya an zage shi.

However, in history there has been a donkey, not quite like other donkeys.

A short thread.
In those days, Arabians found it quite dererogatory that someone rode a donkey. They glorified assorted horses & camels instead

Even those who were entrusted with the Torah & did not abide by it were likened to donkeys (Q62v5)

So it was quite lowly, but Rasulullah SAWS had one.
This is the reason why when you see ahadith that describes the Prophet's humility, you usually find them saying "he used to ride a donkey".

Many eulogizers of the Prophet SAWS often show his humbleness by saying that he rode on a donkey.

So, what was his (SAWS) donkey like?

For years now, the condemnation of an act which is well-rooted in the Deen has often been done without the use of any proof, but rather with pitiable logical examination and ill-witted analogies.

Today, we're setting the Records Straight.
Firstly, I acknowledge your right to accept or reject furu' issues. But the fact that you're doing so without proof from any Shari'a source, and yet directly linking the issue to Shirk is indeed worrying.

It leaves me wondering; what's so difficult to understand?
'Laya' is derived from the word 'Al-Ayah' ( i.e. verse of the Qur'an). Laya is simply a verse of the Holy Qur'an (differentiate Laya from Tamimah and other like things, for the sake of Allah).

Your statement "laya tana bada kariya?" = "Qur'ani yana bada kariya"=YES!
