Prophet's Story

THE STORY OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD SAW (part2)

The story of the next Prophet Muhammad that is no less interesting to listen to is the story of the journey of da'wah done secretly. After getting the first revelation, Prophet Muhammad then began to preach in secret or stealth.

Khadijah, Abu Bakr Al-Shiddiq and Zaid ibn Harithah, Umm Aiman, Ali ibn Abu Talib, and Bilal ibn Rabah, were among the first followers. After several years of secret preaching, then God gave the order to preach openly.

This commandment as stated in QS Al-Hijr verse 94 is as follows: “Then convey by you blatantly all that is commanded (to you) and turn away from those who are polytheists.”

The events of Isra Miraj’ also include an important journey of the Acts of the Prophet Muhammad that is meaningful and has a profound message. The journey of Prophet Muhammad began when his wife Khadijah and his uncle Abu Talib died.

The death of two important people in the life of Prophet Muhammad occurred in the 11th year of the leadership of Prophet Muhammad.

It was a sad year for the Prophet Muhammad. He had to lose his beloved wife who always accompanied and his uncle who had been babysitting since childhood.

But after that event, Allah sent the Angel Gabriel to accompany the Prophet to travel from the Grand Mosque to the Mosque of Aqsa. This trip is also called Isra Miraj’.

Israel here is known as the journey of the Prophet Muhammad from the Mosque of Aqsa, to the 7th sky called Miraj’. In this event, the Prophet received the 5 prayer times that must be fulfilled by all Muslims.

At the time of the sad event, his friend Abu Bakr was not in Medina. Then after being told, he immediately came to Aisha's house and gave a speech, which is as follows :

“Behold, whosoever worships Muhammad, then verily Muhammad is now dead, and whosoever worships Allah, then verily Allah will always live never to die.”

Then he said the word of Allah in QS Az-Zumar verse 30:“Verily you will die and indeed they will die (after all).”

At that time, all Muslims grieve and must give up suri tauladan who do not tire of teaching goodness in living life.

This event will always be remembered by Muslims as a major and historic event from the journey of a person who has all the good qualities and glory.
