How did Hazrat Mohammadصلى الله عليه وسلم start preaching?
 |
| Masjid Nabwi |
The first commandment of expression and invitation
After three years, open preach orders were issued.
و انذر عشیرتک الاقربین
Preaching to your family
One day, the Prophet gathered everyone on the meal. Their number was 40.
All of them were Babi Hashim. On that day, Abu Lahab made a mistake and Hazrat Muhammad became silent.
They could not get a chance to talk, so the next day they were invited again. When everyone had eaten, Hazrat Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
I have come to bring the good of this world and the hereafter to all of you.
And I do not know that any person among the Arabs has taken anything better than this for his people, as Allah has commanded.
Invite people. Tell me who will support me. Hearing this, everyone became silent, Hazrat Ali said.
I will be with you(rehmat ul lilalmeen part first page 50)
Resolution of oppression
When the infidels saw that the propagation of Islam was not stopping despite the persecution, they gathered once again.
A committee of 25 chiefs was formed, headed by Abu Lahab. After consultation, the committee passed a resolution.
In which it was concluded that the opposition to Islam is the tyranny of the Prophet of Islam and the persecution of those who take Islam in every way.(Arraheeq almakhtoom, page 122)
Quraysh decided to complete it after folding it.
Hazrat Mohammad Enemies from neighborhood
Ibn Al Is'haq said that the group that used to give pain to Hazrat Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم inside the house was this
Abu Lahab, Hikam bin Abi Al-Aas, Iqba bin Abi Mohit, Tzafi bin Humra. All these were your neighbors.
After that, Hukm bin Man became a Muslim. They have limited their persecution of you.
Dar Arqam was the first center of Islam for preaching of Islam.
After all this persecution
Wisdom requires that you stop preaching Islam and reduce it by secret means if you invite them by open means.
So the polytheists would block your way and there could be a conflict between the parties.
This happened once before, but the matter was dismissed.
If this conflict were to happen again and again, the Muslims could be annihilated.
In view of this wisdom, Hazrat Muhammed صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions used to disguise their worship and their preaching and the rest.
The house of Arqam bin Abi Arqam
Makhzoumi was located on Mount Safa, away from the eyes of the rebels.
That is why Hazrat Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم made this house the center of his gathering with the Muslims in order to fulfill his mission by staying away from the infidels.
