ACTS OF APOSTLE

chapter 32

*Arqam*

Time keeps going. The perseverance of the dakwah of the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ began to bear fruit, little by little, the adherents of Islam began to increase. The Prophet's house, ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ The small one was beginning to feel cramped.

"Yes the Messenger of Allah, it would be nice if we move the meeting place to my house" Arqam suggested. "My house is wide enough to accommodate the number of us who have dozens of people. After all, it was on the top of a hill. Bad people don't easily reach that place to bother us."

The apostle of Allah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ agree. Therefore, the meeting every night moved to the house of Arqam. Some of the Muslims at that time were weak people: slaves, laborers, the poor, poor women, and other oppressed people. The rest were learned men and wealthy merchants.

In fact, most traders are at first rather doubtful.

"What if this new teaching would close Mecca off from the merchant entourage from other places? If that's the case, we'll go bankrupt." Said a merchant.

However, the doubt was dismissed by the Prophet. Islam will not close Mecca. Islam also will not change the pilgrimage season when many foreign traders come to Mecca. Islam does not prohibit all of this.

The forbidden thing is:

Worship idols

Giving offerings and sacrifices to the Quraish nobility

Naked when thawaf in Ka'bah

Prostitution

Disclaiming obscenities and other bad actions while performing the pilgrimage

*The Plans of the Quraish Advocates*

After hearing the Prophet's explanation ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , the merchants were relieved. Most of them were not slave traders and did not profit from the sacrifices offered to the nobles of the Quraysh. Their faith is getting stronger.

Seeing that Islam was increasingly loved by its followers, the rulers of the Quraysh also devised another plan...

"What should we do?" shouted one of the leaders of the Quraysh.

"Abu Bakr and his friends continue to free our slaves! There is no other way, kill the slaves so that others are frightened!"

"No," Abu Jahl's bell was weak. "Sumayyah I killed, but it didn't scare the others. Just find another way!"

A Quraysh leader stood up quickly,

"Put Muhammad to the ground! As such, his will was destroyed and his followers dispersed in fear!"

"However, Muhammad's family of the Bani Hashim will defend him!" the other screech.

For a moment, people fell silent while looking around. Then, one of them showed his finger to the big tall young man,

"You, Umar bin Khattab! You and Abu Jahl! No one else would dare to resist if you beat Muhammad!"

People were calling out "agree."

"Patience" suddenly someone exclaimed,

"the initial move is not a physical attack! Destroy the wibawa first! I propose that we have the slaves throw at Muhammad and shout him as a liar, a madman, and a sorcerer!"

The proposal was approved. From that day on, every Prophet passed through the streets of Mecca, slaves, women whose fate was being fought by the Prophet,

"Large liar! Crazy fellow! Magician!"

Their voice was loud and sharp as if one were driving away a cat that entered the kitchen. Then, what happens if Abu Jahl or Umar starts beating the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ P.F.Its

*Former Horse*

It was a difficult time for the Prophet. He went to a shady place, lay down on a rock, and tried to hold back his tears from falling. There is nothing more painful than the ridicule and reproach of those whom the Prophet is fighting for.

Meanwhile, in front of the Kaaba, Abu

Jahal roared in front of his friend, his friend,

"I swore to smite Muhammad's head with a stone while he was bowing down to his Lord!"

Some cheered excitedly, while others looked at each other in surprise. It was a cruel act that could lead to death. If Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ died, the children of Hashim would surely demand revenge and Mecca would be torn apart by civil war. However, Abu Jahl had uttered an oath that could no longer be withdrawn without smearing his own face. Therefore, they chose to observe what was happening with the chest pounding.

The opportunity that Abu Jahl was waiting for arrived. At that time, the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ was praying in front of the Kaaba. As he bowed, Abu Jahl quickly approached. His two hands that were grasping the rock were raised high, his eyes burning ferociously.

However, when the stone will be thrown down with all his might, suddenly Abu Jahl turned away. The stone in his hand came off and his face was pale in fear.

"What's wrong?" all his friends asked in confusion.

With a stifled breath, Abu Jahl said,

"For God's sake, in front of me stood a stallion. I've never seen such a stallion. The head, the nape, and the teeth are terrible. I'm sure he'll swallow me if I hit that stone!"

Abu Jahl went quickly to calm down.

The people looked at the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ with wonder and amazement. Meanwhile, Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ continued to pray fervently. His face was so calm and serene.
