‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib, he passed away before the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was born, therefore the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was born an orphan.
Aminah bint Wahab from the tribe Banu Zuhrah, she passed away before the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was seven years old.
When He صلى الله عليه وسلم was twenty-five years old, he left for Syria for business, after he returned he married his first wife Khadeejah bint Khuwailid رضي الله عنھا.
When He صلى الله عليه وسلم reached forty years of age, the light of Prophethood was shining over him and Allah honoured him with his message on a Monday.
The first five verses of surah al-‘Alaq: “Recite in the name of your Lord who created - Created man from a clinging substance. Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous – Who taught by the pen – Taught man that which he knew not.”
- Secret Da’wah: this continued for the first three years.
- Da’wah in the open: when he was commanded to: “Then declare openly what you are commanded…” Al-hijr 94.
- From the men: Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq.
- From the women: Khadeejah bint Khuwalid.
- From the youth: ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib
- From the freedman: Zayd ibn Hārithah
- From the salves: Bilāl ibn Rubāh Al-Habashi
A few months later the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم uncle Abu Tālib passed away at the age of eighty-seven, then shortly after this Khadeeja passed away and the harm of the disbelievers towards him intensified.
On His صلى الله عليه وسلم journey back, he met ‘Addās who was Christian who believed in him and embraced Islam.
He صلى الله عليه وسلم also came across a group of Jinn at a place called ‘Nakhla’, seven of them from the people of Naseebeen, they had heard the Qur’an and embraced Islam.
He صلى الله عليه وسلم was then taken by night to masjid Al-Aqsa and then ascended with above the heavens to Allah, Allah spoke directly to him and obligated upon him the five daily prayers.
When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and those with him reached Madinah it was Monday 12th Rabi’ul-awwal, they stayed in Quba, the highest point of
Al-Madinah, here they spent fourteen days with ‘Amr ibn ‘Awf.
They built masjid Quba, ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattāb said: “The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would go to Masjid Quba every Saturday either walking or riding.” The
Prophet also said: “praying in Masjid Quba is like performing ‘Umrah.”
After building the masjid, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم made brotherhood between the Muhajirun who were ninety and the Ansar (who were a lot more in number than the Muhajirun). They would inherit from each other until the battle of Badr.
After dealing with the Hawāzin the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was determined to invade Ta’if, when they arrived at Ta’if they besieged their fort for eighteen days, they then left after no fighting had taken place.
