ACTS OF APOSTLE

chapter 27

*The Early Muslim Community*

Knowing how fierce the hatred of the Quraysh was, the early Muslims (Assaabiquunal Awaluun), practiced their worship in secret. If they want to pray they go to the mountain crevices in Mecca. This went on for three consecutive years. Meanwhile, little by little Islam is expanding. The Word of Allah, which came down one by one, strengthened the faith of the Muslims.

There is one thing that makes Islamic preaching grow, namely the example of the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ This is a very good example. He is a devoted and loving person. He is also very humble and courageous. He said he was gentle and always fair. Everyone's rights must be fulfilled as they should. The treatment of the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ against the weak, orphans, the miserable, and the poor is a loving, gentle and affectionate treatment.

At night he did not go to sleep quickly, He rejoiced and read the revelation that God had given him. He always thought about the fate of his people. He also reflected on how extraordinary the creation of the heavens, the earth and all its contents was. All his requests were presented to God. Such things make believers more and more love for Islam and stronger faith. They have resolved to forsake their fathers, and fear not the torment of the disbelievers who hate them.

If someone else has been Allah's Apostle ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ What about his family? Did he also preach to his uncles, some of whom were respected rulers of the Quraysh? What did they do when they found out that the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ) had been asking to leave behind an idol that had been passed down by their ancestors for so long.

*Dining Banquet For Relatives*

There is nothing more beloved of the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ than his own relatives. After three years, the word of God came down and commanded him to preach to his relatives.

وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ

And give a warning to your nearest relatives,

Surah Ash-Shu'ara (26:214)

وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

and humble yourselves to those who follow you, those who believe.

Surah Ash-Shu'ara (26:215)

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

If they disobey you, say: I am not responsible for what you do;

Surah Ash-Shu'ara (26:216)

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ

And trust in (Allah) the Most Mighty, the Most Merciful,

Surah Ash-Shu'ara (26:217)

"Muhammad give me wine!" an uncle named Zubair.

But the Prophet only served milk. After they had eaten, the Prophet stood up and said,

"I don't see a man among the Arabs who can bring anything into the midst of society better than I bring you all. I give you the world and the best of the Hereafter. God has asked me to take you. Who among you would support me?"

After a moment of fascination, everyone grumbled and got up about to go home. But they were again flabbergasted when the teenage Ali bin Abu Talib rose up and shouted loudly,

"My apostle will help you! I am the opponent of anyone you are about!"

The apostle of Allah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Thigh pier patted Ali on the shoulder and said to the others,

"This is my brother, my servant, and my successor. Follow him and obey him!"

Suddenly the laughter exploded. Someone said to Abu Talib,

"He commands you to listen and obey your own son"

Then, everyone just broke up. None of the invitations who laughed out loud realized that among the

they will be slashed Ali really mean it with his words.

*Walid bin Mughirah*

At the beginning of Prophethood, there was a man named Walid bin Mughirah. He had two friends who were great poets. With his verses, they tried to demonize the Prophet SAW. With the verse, Walid influenced the crowd with his two poet friends.

*The Residents of Mecca Are Not Hirau*

Although the teaching of the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ spread rapidly, the people of Mecca were still cautious and not too frenzied. They suspected that the invitation of the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ will disappear by itself and people will return to worship the beliefs of their ancestors. Ultimately, the victors must have been Hubal, Latta and Uza they thought, unaware that the pure faith that the Prophet taught ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ cannot be defeated.
