The Life of the Prophet Muhammad: Chapter 11: SummaryAdil Hussain
The document summarizes events during the 6th to 10th years of Muhammad's prophethood in Makkah. It describes how Umar ibn al-Khattab converted to Islam, strengthening the Muslim community. It also discusses negotiations between Muhammad and the Quraysh where he rejected their offers to stop preaching in exchange for wealth and power. The Quraysh imposed a boycott against Muhammad and his followers, which lasted for three years until some Makkans helped end the boycott due to humanitarian concerns over the suffering it caused.
The Five Pillars of Islam are the five obligations that every Muslim must satisfy. They are: 1) the Shahadah, which is the declaration of faith in one God and the prophethood of Muhammad; 2) Salah, praying five times a day facing Mecca; 3) Zakah, donating money to charity; 4) Sawm, fasting during the holy month of Ramadan; and 5) Hajj, pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim aims to complete once in their lifetime.
The Battle of Badr was fought between 313 Muslim fighters led by the Prophet Muhammad and a force of 1,000 Quraysh disbelievers. The Muslims were poorly equipped with few weapons, while the Quraysh army was large and well-armed. Despite being outnumbered, the Muslims were victorious through divine assistance, inflicting a crushing defeat on the disbelievers. The battle marked an important turning point, establishing the strength of the growing Muslim community in Arabia.
This document provides biographical details about Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, the first Caliph of Islam. It discusses that he was the first male convert to Islam and was given the title "as-Siddiq" by the Prophet Muhammad for his affirmation of prophethood. It describes Abu Bakr as extremely generous with his wealth in supporting the Prophet and the cause of Islam. The document also highlights Abu Bakr's courage and knowledge of the Quran and hadith, and states that companions and Islamic scholars considered Abu Bakr to be the most meritorious companion after the Prophet Muhammad.
The document summarizes the early life and missionary work of the prophet Muhammad in Makkah. It describes the religious landscape of Arabia at the time, with Zoroastrianism and Christianity being the dominant religions in the neighboring empires. Makkah practiced polytheism and idol worship. Muhammad began receiving divine revelations from God at age 40 and his first converts were his family members. After initial secret preaching, he publicly called the Makkans to monotheistic worship of Allah, meeting opposition from Abu Jahl and others. Many early Muslims suffered persecution but their numbers grew, including with the conversion of Umar ibn al-Khattab. Muhammad faced pressure to stop preaching but remained committed to restoring belief
The Night Journey of The Prophet Muhammad (SAW)Hallybibi
The document summarizes the Islamic belief in Muhammad's Night Journey where he traveled from Mecca to Jerusalem and ascended through the seven levels of heaven. In each heaven he saw previous prophets who expressed faith in his prophethood. God originally ordered Muhammad to institute 50 daily prayers but Muhammad negotiated this down to 5 at the advice of Moses. Upon his return, Muhammad accurately described Jerusalem though he had never been there before, increasing the disbelief of Quraysh while strengthening the faith of believers like Abu Bakr.

Yunus (AS) was a prophet sent by Allah to tell people to only worship Allah as the one true God. When the people did not listen, Yunus (AS) left in anger. He got on a ship that encountered trouble at sea, and Yunus (AS) was swallowed by a large fish. Inside the fish's stomach, Yunus (AS) prayed to Allah for forgiveness for his anger. Allah heard his prayer and caused the fish to release Yunus (AS) unharmed.
The document discusses the messages brought by prophets and messengers throughout history. It states that while earlier prophets were sent to specific nations, Prophet Muhammad was sent to all of mankind with the final, complete message and guidance from God in the form of Islam and the Quran. The document asserts that Prophet Muhammad was the last prophet and anyone claiming to be a prophet or bring a new divine message after him is a false prophet, and groups believing in prophets after Muhammad cannot be considered Muslim.

Pledges of Aqaba: Biography of Prophet Muhammad Amna Kashif
The document summarizes the Pledges of Aqaba, where Muslims from Yathrib (later known as Medina) pledged to accept and protect Prophet Muhammad. The First Pledge involved 6 men accepting Islam after being invited by the Prophet. The Second Pledge, a year later, involved 75 leaders who pledged to follow the teachings of Islam and defend the Prophet from the persecutions of the Quraish tribe. This led to the Hijrah or migration of the Prophet and his followers from Mecca to Medina, allowing Islam to spread more freely.
Maryam (Mary) was the mother of Isa (Jesus). She was cared for by her uncle Zakariya after being dedicated to serve in the temple by her mother. Mary lived a devout life in the temple until she was visited by the angel Jibril who informed her that she would give birth to a miraculous son, Isa, without being touched by a man. When Mary gave birth to Isa alone under a palm tree, the baby spoke to comfort her and prove his divine nature.

Khyber expedition and letters to emperors (islamiat work)GamingCousinz
The Khyber Expedition occurred in 7 AH/629 AD. Jews who had broken a treaty with Muslims in Medina took refuge in the fortress of Khyber and gained the support of local tribes to plot against Muslims. When the Prophet Muhammad learned of this, he led 1600 men in an attack on Khyber. The Muslims captured the fortresses easily except Qamus, which took 20 days to conquer. On the Prophet's order, Ali single-handedly conquered Qamus and killed the Jewish leader. The Jews surrendered and were allowed to remain in Khyber on the condition they give half their produce to Muslims. The spoils from Khyber were abundant.

The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.
The document examines sources of Islam and the Quran, finding evidence that significant parts were derived from existing human sources available during Muhammad's time. It identifies influences from pre-Islamic Arabian religion including worship at the Kaaba, pilgrimages, fasting during Ramadan, and daily prayers. Jewish sources are also identified such as stories of biblical figures, legends, and the Talmud. Christian sources include apocryphal gospels and heretical writings. The document concludes that if parts of the Quran can be shown to be derived from human rather than divine sources, then Islam's great claims collapse.

The document provides historical context for Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War) in the Quran by describing the events leading up to the Battle of Badr. It explains that the battle was a decisive moment for early Muslims to prove their devotion and strength against Quraish opponents from Mecca who were threatening the new Islamic community in Medina. The Battle of Badr began when Muhammad learned that a wealthy Quraish trade caravan was traveling without strong guards, so he led his fighters to intercept it, hoping to prove the growing military strength of the Muslims.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was born in Mecca in the year 571 AD to parents from the prominent Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe. His father Abdullah had died before he was born. He was nursed initially by his mother Amina and then by wet nurses in keeping with Arab custom of sending infants to live with Bedouin families.
The document discusses the similarities between how ISIS and the Christian Crusaders have used media to influence public perception and further their goals. It notes that both groups glorified their violent actions through various media forms to gain support and recruits. The Crusaders used artwork, letters, and poetry, while ISIS uses recorded videos online. The document argues that history is repeating itself as media on both sides portrays the other in an extremely negative light, fueling further conflict.

It describes how Heraclius had a vision foretelling the coming of a prophet among those who were circumcised. When Abu Sufyan's trading caravan arrived from Mecca, Heraclius summoned them and questioned Abu Sufyan about Muhammad and Islam. Satisfied that Muhammad was a true prophet, Heraclius declared that if he was able to meet Muhammad, he would not mind hardship to do so and would wash his feet. However, Heraclius kept his true beliefs private due to opposition from generals and church patriarchs.

The document provides a summary of the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in 3 parts:
1) It describes his birth and early life as an orphan in Makkah, his work as a merchant, and his marriage to Khadijah.
2) It discusses his receiving of the first revelation from Gabriel at age 40 and his 23 years of receiving revelations that were later compiled into the Quran. He faced challenges from Makkan leaders as he spread the message of Islam.
3) It outlines some key later events including his migration to Madinah to escape persecution, treatments of envoys in Madinah, the liberation of Makkah, and his farewell
Letters from our prophet (saas) (pbuh). Communicating Islam. englishHarunyahyaEnglish
Our Prophet Muhammad (saas) effectively communicated Islam through letters sent to various rulers. One letter was sent to Mukavkis, the governor of Egypt, inviting him to accept Islam for security, peace and reward from Allah. In response, Mukavkis sent gifts and many Egyptians converted to Islam. Another letter was sent to the Byzantine Emperor Heraklius, inviting him to accept the shared beliefs of monotheism found in Islam and Christianity. Heraklius was impressed by the virtues and increasing following of the Prophet. A third letter was sent to the Negus of Abyssinia, who protected Muslim refugees and expressed admiration for the Prophet.
The book of tribulations, the syrian muslim apocalyptic tradition annotated t...docsforu
The first annotated translation of the ninth-century Islamic
apocalyptic work The Book of Tribulations
The Book of Tribulations by Nu'aym b. Hammad al-Marwazi is the earliest
complete Muslim apocalyptic text to survive, and as such has considerable value
as a primary text. It is unique in its importance for Islamic history: focusing
upon the central Syrian city of Hims, it gives us a picture of the personalities
ofthe city, the tribal conflicts within, the tensions between the proto-Muslim
community and the majority Christian population, and above all details about
the wars with the Byzantines. Additionally, Nu'aym gives us a range of both the
Umayyad and the ‘Abbasid official propaganda, which was couched in
apocalyptic and messianic terms.
Key Features
• Includes materials for Islamic military history: internal Muslim wars, the
wars against the Byzantines and the projected warfare of the Mahdi
• Presents fascinating social history, detailing earthquakes, plagues and
appearances of comets
Alludes to the technological advances of the time: the use of waterwheels,
the construction of ships and various methods of transportation
• Gives a unique perspective on Syrian Muslim history with an
extraordinary level of detail and richness of local perspective

The Life of the Prophet Muhammad: Chapter 8: SummaryAdil Hussain
The Makkans launched a campaign of persecution against Muslims, subjecting many to physical and verbal abuse. Abu Bakr worked to free slaves who had converted to Islam. When the persecution became unbearable, some asked the Prophet for help, but he advised patience and trusting in God. The Quraysh offered to make the Prophet's uncle adopt one of their men in exchange for the Prophet, but he refused. With protection from his uncle's clan, the Prophet continued preaching despite the hostility.
1. The Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE to escape persecution from the Quraysh tribe. This migration, known as the Hijra, marked the beginning of the Islamic calendar.
2. In Medina, the Prophet Muhammad established the first Islamic community and state by drafting a constitution called the Charter of Medina that ensured rights and responsibilities for Muslims and non-Muslims.
3. Despite efforts at cooperation, conflicts arose with the Jewish tribes of Medina and battles were fought against the Quraysh of Mecca, including the Battles of Badr, Uhud, and the Trench. The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah
This document provides a historical overview of the relationship between Jews, Christians, and Muslims over eight phases. It discusses periods of conflict and persecution between the groups as well as times of cooperation. A key point is that early Christians in areas controlled by Muslims, such as Abyssinia, protected Muslim refugees from Mecca and saw similarities between Islam and their own faith. The document advocates for improved cooperation between Muslims and Christians today.

The document summarizes events from the 5th year of Prophet Muhammad's prophethood in Makkah. It describes how he began teaching followers in secret at the house of a companion. Opponents from the Quraysh tribe tried to convince Muhammad to abandon his message by offering wealth, power or medical help. When he refused, they escalated tactics by abusing and tormenting followers. Later, an influential figure named Hamzah converted after witnessing abuse, strengthening Muslims. In response, Quraysh leaders devised a smear campaign falsely accusing Muhammad of sorcery to deter pilgrims from learning about Islam, though it ultimately backfired by spreading news of the new faith across Arabia.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
2.
The Prophet realised that no amount of persuasion
or negotiation would make the leaders of Makkah
change their hostile attitude to Islam
Always a far-sighted and well-informed leader, the
Prophet advised his companions to emigrate to
Abyssinia where the Christian king, Negus, was
known for his abhorrence of injustice
Abyssinia was be to a second home for the Islamic
call
Moving out
3.
The first party of Muslim emigrants to Abyssinia
consisted of 16 people, 4 of whom were women
Among the emigrants was Uthman ibn Affan and his
wife, Ruqayyah, daughter of the Prophet
Other parties of emigrants followed at frequent
intervals
Moving out
4.
The emigrants constituted a large section of the
Muslim community
This was a shrewd tactical move by the Prophet since
the Muslims who stayed behind in Makkah no
longer constituted a threat to its social order
This was bound to weaken the argument of the hard
liners, who advocated a strong-fisted approach to the
problem represented by Islam
Moving out
5.
The Quraysh were utterly displeased that the
Muslims should be able to escape its tyranny and
find peace and security in their new place of abode
A meeting was called to discuss the situation, and it
was resolved to send a delegation to Negus
requesting him to deport the Muslims and send
them back home
Amr ibn Al-Aas and Abdullah ibn Rabi’ah were
chosen for the mission
An appeal for extradition
6.
Amr in particular was well known for his diplomatic
skills
He carried with him many gifts with which he
sought to make the atmosphere at Negus’s court
favourable when he made his request
Amr’s plan was to present every one of the
patriarchs who attended Negus’s court with a fine
gift of animal hide
An appeal for extradition
7.
Feeling that he could rely on the help of the
patriarchs, Amr explained his mission
The patriarchs promised Amr and his friend their
support and the ground was prepared for a quick
decision by Negus in favour of Amr and Abdullah
When the two were admitted into court, they
presented the king with a precious gift of superb
camel hide
An appeal for extradition
8.
Nothing was more loathsome to the Quraysh
delegation that that Negus should call the Muslims
in to present their case
They stressed that they were making their request on
behalf of the fugitives’ own parents and uncles, who
could not be expected to subject them to any harm
As they made their case, the patriarchs supported
them
An appeal for extradition
9.
Negus was angry. He said, “A group of people who
have sought my shelter, preferring me over everyone
else, will not be summarily judged. I shall call them
in first and give them a chance to answer what these
two have alleged about them. Should I find these
allegations true, I will extradite them. Otherwise,
they will certainly enjoy my protection.”
An appeal for extradition
10.
The Makkan delegation were very disappointed at
the Negus’s decision, but they could do nothing
about it
The Muslims consulted with one another when the
king’s messenger delivered to them an order to
appear at court
They were unanimous that they would answer any
question put to them truthfully, regardless of what
results it might produce
An appeal for extradition
11.
When they were admitted to the king’s presence, he
came straight to the point and asked them, “What is
this new religion over which you are in dispute with
your own people and which is at variance with my
own religion and with all other known religions?”
An appeal for extradition
12.
The Muslims had chosen Ja’far ibn Abi Talib, the
Prophet’s own cousin, as their spokesman and he
put their case forward with a most eloquent
summary of the Islamic call
Negus asked Ja’far to read a passage of the Qur’an
Ja’far chose the opening of Surah 19, entitled Mary,
which speaks about Prophet Zachariah and his son
John before it goes on to relate the story of the virgin
birth of Jesus
An appeal for extradition
13.
Negus and his patriarchs were in tears and he said,
“What I have just heard comes from the same source
as Jesus’s revelations.”
He then dismissed the Quraysh delegation and
assured the Muslims that they would have his full
protection
Having failed, the Quraysh delegation began to
think of some other, more devious ways to achieve
their purpose
An appeal for extradition
14.
The following day Amr went back to Negus and said
to him: “These people make a very wild claim about
Jesus. You may wish to question them about that.”
When the Muslims realised the reason for their
second summons to attend the king’s court, they
were alarmed
They resolved, however, to stick to the truth and put
their case frankly and clearly
An appeal for extradition
15.
Ja’far, the Muslims’ spokesman, answered Negus’s
question about their view of Jesus without hesitation:
“Our view is that taught to us by our Prophet: Jesus
is God’s servant and messenger. He is His spirit and
His word delivered unto virgin Mary.”
Negus picked up a little stick from the floor and said,
“What you have just said about Jesus does not go
beyond the truth by the width of this stick.”
An appeal for extradition
16.
To the jeers and sneers of the patriarchs, Negus
replied, “It is true, no matter what you say.”
He then said to the Muslims, “You are safe in my
land. Whoever harms you will be brought to justice. I
would not harm any one of you for a mountain of
gold.”
He then ordered his patriarchs to return the gifts of
the Quraysh delegation
An appeal for extradition
17.
The emigration of the Prophet’s companions to
Abyssinia was a highly significant event and the first
major political move taken by the Prophet
A close examination of the list of people who
travelled shows that hardly any of the weak or
vulnerable members of the community took part
On the other hand, one finds that the list of travellers
includes names of many prominent people who
belonged to famous clans
A shrewd plan
18.
The emigrants belonged to most, if not all, the clans
of the Quraysh
The Prophet was keen to emphasise the very concept
which the Quraysh wanted to block
He wanted his followers to realise that belonging to
Islam meant that they no longer belonged to a
particular clan and that their only tie of allegiance
was to their faith; they were simply Muslims
Realignment of loyalties
19.
Before the emigration to Abyssinia, those who heard
of Islam outside of Makkah did not pay much
attention to it, considering it an internal matter
which only concerned the Quraysh
It was necessary, therefore, for Islam to break out of
this imposed confinement and to broaden the scope
of its efforts of advocacy
The emigration to Abyssinia gave the Muslims a
chance to carry their message further afield
A new Muslim community
