years old.

revelation of the first verses of the Qur’an.

Khadijah was the
first person to embrace Islam.
·
Prophet Muhammad
(SAW) preached the religion of Islam secretly for three years during which some
noble man and slaves embraced Islam.

Following that
period, he preached Islam publicly and as a result the polytheists intensified
their persecution against him and the believers.

This event was known as the Hijrah (Migration).

prophet Muhammad (SAW) and those who were with him in the Shi’b (or mountain
pass) of Abi Talib took place in seventh year of his Mission.

years of blockade and suffering, the boycott of Shi’b Abi-Talib was finally
annulled.

annulment of the blockade lady Khadijah, the prophet’s wife and dearest
companions passed away a few weeks after the death of his uncles Abu-Talib.

Ta’if to called it’s people to Islam then he returned to Makkah after being
exposed to great harm from the people of Ta’if.

Al-Isra’wal-miraj (The Night Journey and the Ascension) took place in the tenth
or eleventh year of his mission and the five daily prayers were made obligatory
upon Muslims during his ascension.
·
The Ansar
started to enter Islam in big members and the first and second facts of
Al-Aqabah were concluded.
·
Islam spread
fast in Madinah. Allah sent him to preach Tawhid and to warn against
polytheism, thereby he preached Tawhid for three years im Makkah, and then
immigrated to Madinah where he established the new fasting for the month of
Ramadan, making pilgrimage to Makkah (Hajj) enjoying what is good and
forbidding what is evil. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has clearly eloquently and perfectly
delivered the message conveyed to him from Allah. In Madinah he remained for
ten ten years doing all the above mentioned activities until he passed away,
may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon Him.
