PART 34 #BiographyOfRasul

Year 9 AH. Continued

While the Prophet was away in Tabuk, some hypocrites built a mosque, called Masjidul Zirar near Masjidul Qubah and started parallel prayers.

1/9
The Prophet ordered Masjid Zirar to be razed to the ground, its beams to be burnt, and its rubbish thrown there for some period.

This was a blow to the hypocrites who later broke up. Abdullah bin Ubayy, their sole supporter, died 2 months after the Battle of Tabuk.

2/9
The Prophet (s) was out with his business when he learnt about the condition of his son Ibrahim, so he returned home & took him from his mother, Mariya, placed him on his laps where little Ibrahim died. The Prophet (s) was very much saddened by his death.

3/9
Many sources believed Ibrahim to be 12-18 months old.

The Prophet had lost five of his children previously & Ibrahim diminished, to some extent, his pains. The munafiq who used to say that the Prophet was 'abtar', meaning someone who's lineage was cut off, started again.

4/9
This led to, as some scholars say, the re-revelation of Sur Kawthar.

The Prophet was sitting amidst his companions in the Masjid when he started dosing, then he opened his eyes and was smiling due to the compensation from Allah.

5/9
The Prophet's noble progeny are known in this world and are called nobles. Millions of his children have traveled far & wide to spread Islam.

Where are the progeny of Abu Jahl or Abu Lahab or Ka'b bn Ashraf? Verily, they are the ones who are truly cut off.

6/9
Later in that 9th year, the initial verses of Sur Taubah (Q9) were revealed and the Prophet (s) tasked Ali KLWH and 40 others to proceed to Makkah to recite them loudly on the day of Eid Adha. He went and recited the verses, The contents of these initial verses were:

7/9
This event frightened the idolators. Ali was a strong man & he made sure he announced the ayat in the most stern way, befitting it's importance.

The Hajj ceremonies, consisting only of Muslim participants took place in that year and Abubakar As-Sadiq lead the ceremony.

8/9
The next incredible event that occurred in this year was the event of Mubahilah. A mediocre account of this event (for brevity sakes) is summarized in these two frames.

This is one wonderful event of the history of Islam, full of lessons.

To be continued, in sha Allah

9/9

PART 35 #BiographyOfRasul

Year 10 A. H.

The sharp and pungent proclamation read out by Ali during Hajj season of the ninth year of migration at Mina, on behalf of the Prophet (s) had a very deep and quick effect.

1/13
The tribes of different regions of Arabia, which had so far not submitted to Islam, on account of enmity and grudge, and rather persisted in the illogical rejection, became helpless and sent their representatives to Madinah.

2/13
No less than 72 tribes were sent, & the particulars of each discussion is recorded in history.
In less than 4 months, the entire Hijaz came under the banner of Islam and not a single idol-temple or idol or idolater was left in it.

PART 10 #BiographyOfRasul

A Brief Review of the Story so far

Since today is our 10th day, and the last part just before the main Prophethood, we will take a quick look at some issues so far.

1/14
The miracles of RasuluLlah (s) had started to manifest even before his earthly Prophethood. In fact, his miracles began before his birth. This is referred to as "Irhãsãt", which is differentiated from "Mu'jiza", with the latter occurring in the hands of a Prophet.

2/14
Some of these mind blowing miracles are:

• Protection of his ancestral lineage from sins and zina and their preservation upon the right path.
• Protection of the Ka'bah from destruction by the Yemenite King Abraha. This is mentioned in the Qur'an Sur Fil Q105.

PART 9 #BiographyOfRasul

The Dawn of Prophethood

Life in the eyes of the Prophet (s) seemed unreal. He was a unique jewel in the midst of mere gravels.

Ignorance was wide spread, and nearly everyone had abandoned honorable character.

1/10
It was an age of ignorance (Nahiliyyah) in which, generally speaking, moral rectitude & spiritual code had gone into oblivion.

Superstitious rites & dogmas had replaced the tenets of the Divine religion. Only a few (his ancestors) remained upon the religion of Ibrahim.

2/10
Arabians engaged in unnecessary fights, gambling, adultery and unfairness in all dealings.

The Qur'an informs us of their level of thinking; "And they say: There is nothing but our life of this world; we live and die and nothing but time annihilates us". (Qur'an, 45:24)

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),

PART 6 #BiographyOfRasul

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].
