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.

3/13

A number of persons belonging to Yemen, Bahrain and Yamamah also embraced Islam.

In this same year, the chiefs of the tribe of Bani 'Amir, widely known for their obstinacy and mischief plotted to kill the Prophet (s).

4/13

3 of their chiefs named 'Amir, Arbad & Jabbar arrived Madina with the plan to kill the Prophet while having discussions with him. Their scheme was that 'Amir should engage himself in discussion with the Prophet & Arbad should attack the Prophet with his sword & kill him.

5/13

During their discussion, 'Amir tried to seclude the Prophet, & signaled Arbad, but the Prophet declined to be cornered. They gave up their plan and 'Amir stood up after the discussion and said: "I will flood this city with men and horses and cause you (Muhammad) harm".

6/13

Due to his forbearance, the Prophet didn't give him any reply but bid him farewell.

On their way back, 'Amir had an attack of plague, and died in a very bad condition.

As regards Arbad, he was struck by lightning in the desert and was burnt to death.

7/13

And the fate met by these persons, who had plotted against the Prophet further intensified the people's faith (in Islam).

Later in the same year, the Prophet sent Mu'az bn Jabal, Khalid bn Walid and Ali bn Abi Taalib to Yemen, in succession, to call the people to Islam.

8/13

On the first day of this exercise, Ali read out the Prophet's letter to the biggest tribe of Yemen, the tribe of Hamdan. All of them accepted Islam at once.

The Prophet was greatly pleased to learn the good news. Other Yemen tribes slowly accepted Islam afterwards.

Since the day Prophet Ibrahim had constructed the Ka'bah and invited the monotheists to perform its pilgrimage, this place has always been the centre of attraction. However, as a result of time, deprivation of guidance, the selfishness of Quraysh, etc Hajj ceremonies

10/13

fell prey to change and alteration from the viewpoint of time and place and lost their real features.

Hence, the Prophet was ordered by Allah in the 10th year AH to participate in the Hajj ceremonies personally, to, amidst other reasons, revive its correct format.

11/13

In the eleventh Islamic month (Thil Qa'dah) the Prophet got it proclaimed in the city as well as amongst the tribes that he intended to perform the pilgrimage of the Ka'bah that year. This news inspired great interest in the Muslim ummah. Thousands of persons joined.

12/13

The Prophet appointed Abu Dujanah as his representative in Madina and proceeded to Makkah on the 28th of Dhil Qa'dah taking with himself sixty sacrificial animals.

This was the Farewell Hajj.

To be continued, in sha Allah.
