When the Prophet invited people
to Islam and condemned the worship of idols, the Quraish took it an insult to
their religion and the ways of their forefathers. They were not ready to leave
their ancestors’ religion and so they turned against the Holy Prophet (PBUH)
and his followers. They became violent towards the early converts to Islam.
The early converts were treated
very harshly by the Quraish and they were very hostile towards them. Hazrat
Bilal, an abyssinian slave, was greatly tortured by his master Umaya bin
Khalaf. He was dragged with ropes in the streets by children. He was regularly
laid on scorching sands under blazing sun and heavy stones were placed on his
chest. Hazrat Uthman was wrapped in palm leaves by his pagan uncle and was hung
over fire. He was tortured with smoke and heat. Ammar bin Yasir paid heavily
for embracing the new faith. His father died of the consecutive tortures and
his mother was martyred by Abu Jahl with a spear. Similarly, Khabbab bin Aratt
was made to lie on bed of hot coals.
Along with his companions, the
Holy Prophet himself was persecuted. Thorny bushes were spread in his way and
filth and garbage was thrown at him. Abu Lahab’s wife, Umm Jamil, used to throw
the waste of slaughtered goats on the Holy Prophet while he was in worship. She
paid the children of Makka for throwing stones at the prophet (saw) and abusing
him. Some times the stones hit his face and caused bleeding. The two daughters
of the Holy Prophet who were married to the two sons of Abu Lahab were divorced
on the provocation of their father and mother. This was a very great shock for
the Prophet (PBUH) and his wife, Khadija.
After the death of his second
son, the Hazrat Muhammad (saw) was taunted and called “abtar” (man with no male
progeny). One day when he was prostrating in the Holy Ka’bah, Uqbah bin Mu’ait
on the provocation of Abu jahl threw tripe of a camel, filled with noxious
materials, on the Prophat’s head to suffocate him. He remained under the tripe.
On hearing this news, his daughter, Fatima (RA), ran out into the Ka’bah and
removed the tripe and cleaned his face.
The Quraish prohibited him from
entering the Holy Ka’bah for prayers. One day when Muhammad (saw) was at home
and the Muslims were praying in the Ka’bah, the Quraish attacked them and
wounded several of the Muslims. Hazrat Harith, Khadija’s son (Muhammad’s (saw) step
son) was martyred on the spot, who was the first male Muslim martyr.
In the 5th year of
Prophethood when the atrocities of Quraish increased, the Holy Prophet ordered the
Muslims to migrate to Abyssinia. A group of fifteen Muslims followed by another
group of 79 migrated. The Quraish sent a delegation to Abyssinia and tried to
bring them back, but they were not successful. In the 7th year of Prophethood, the
Quraish made a social and economic boycott with the Banu Hashim tribe and they
had to live in the Shib Abi Talib for about three years. This was a very harsh
time for the Muslims.
When the Prophet (saw) visited
Taif in the hope that they could accept Islam, it was a very bitter experience
for him. He was pelted with stones from which he received severe injuries. Later,
the pagans took men from different tribes and formed a delegation that made
plans to kill the Holy Prophet (saw). The Holy Prophet (saw) was informed about
their strategies through revelation. Following the orders of the revelation, he
along with Hazrat Abu Bakr migrated to Yasrib and left all their properties
behind.
