    “And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said, "MyLord, make this city [Makkah] secure and keep me and my sonsaway from worshipping idols. My Lord, indeed they have led

    astray many among the people. So whoever follows me - then heis of me; and whoever disobeys me - indeed, You are [yet]Forgiving and Merciful. Our Lord, I have settled some of my

    descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House,our Lord, that they may establish prayer. So make hearts among

    the people incline toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be grateful .”

    Angel In The Desert• Related by Anas t

    Jibreelu came down and ripped Muhammad’se chestopen and took out his heart. He then extracted a blood-

    clot out of it and said, “That was a part of Satan in thee. ” And then he washed it with the water of Zamzam in a gold basin. After that the heart was joined together and

    restored to its place. The boys and playmates came

    running to his (nurse) mother and said. “Verily, Muhammade has been murdered.” They all rushed

    towards him and found him all right. Only his face hadturned pale.

    Longing In Seclusion• Umm al-mu ‟mineen , „Aisha reports,

    The commencement of the divine inspiration to Allah’sapostlee came in the form of good dreams which came truelike bright daylight and the love of seclusion was bestowedupon him. He used to go in seclusion to the cave of Hira’ where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for

    many days before his desire to see his family. He used to take

    with him the journey food for the stay and then come back to(his wife) Khadeejah to take his food likewise again tillsuddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the

    cave of Hira’.[Bukhari]

    Allah's Apostle returned with the Inspiration and with hisheart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint

    Khuwailid and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They coveredhim till his fear was over and after that he told her everything

    that had happened and said, "I fear that something mayhappen to me." Khadija replied, "Never! By Allah, Allah willnever disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kithand kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests

    generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones."Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin

    Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during thePreIslamic Period became a Christian and used to write the

    writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospelin Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write…

    Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" Allah's Apostle described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said,

    "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel Gabriel)whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young andcould live up to the time when your people would turn you

    out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they drive me out?"Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, "Anyone (man)who came with something similar to what you have brought

    was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till theday when you will be turned out then I would support you

    strongly."[Bukhari]

    we will make you our chief. If you desire kingship, we will readily

    the resentment of the Qurash. They came together anddecided to draw up a decree ostracizing Bani Hashimand Bani Abdul Muttalib. It was decided that

    – No one should sell them anything or buy anything from them

    Having solemnly agreed to these points, the agreementwas put into writing and the parchment was hung in theKa‟bah in order to give it a religious sanction therebymaking it mandatory for all.

    “O you people ofKhazraj, you all know the position that Muhammade holds among us. We have protected him from

    our people as much as we could. He honored and respectedamong his people. He refuses to join any party except you. So

    if you think you can carry out what you promise whileinviting him to your town, and if you can defend him againstthe enemies, then assume the burden you have taken. But if

    you are going to surrender him and betray him after havingtaken him away with you, you had better leave him nowbecause he is respected and well defended in his own place.”
