The noun, believers were angry with the increasing number
of people who declarated their acceptance of the religion of
islam. They were full of arrogance and conceit, so they got
together and decided to launch a campaign of harassment
and provocation against the muslim they acussed the
prophet of being a liar, a sorcerer and madman. They made
every effort to stop the spread of islam. But islam slowly
and surely continued spreading among them.
One day the leader of the noun of believers decide to invite the prophet to a
metting to talk about his lies and stop him for spreading the new religion. In the
metting the non-believers said "if you want wealth, then we are prepared to
raise enought money for you to make you riches amoung us. If it is honour and
prestige you want, we will make you our king. If you are suffering from some
kind of illness or prossessed some evil spirits, then we will send to best doctor
or the best healer to cime and treat you and drive these evil spirts.But you have
to stop calling people to islam". The prophet said that he did not ; anyithing and
did not want suffer from any disiase all he wanted was to give them good tidings
of allah's rewards and to warn them of this wrath.
After no futher efforts could be made to stop the spread of islam they made up
their minds to get rid of the prophet even by killing him if necessary. The only
thing that stopped them doing that straightaway was their fear of the prophet's
uncle abu talib. So they asked him to step his nephew from spreading islam,
slandering their gods and mocking their beliefs, or they would fight him. His
nephew and those who sided with him. Abu talib was in a difficult position ; he
found himself in a real dilemma torn between two difficult choices. Should he
protect his nephew or let him be killed. He tought be a good idea if could talk to
muhammad and try to persuade him in a nice way to give up islam and end this
rift between him and his people. So he called his nephew and told him was had
happend with the quraisyh people and their offer to him, he said, "so please
save me and save yourself from trouble" there was a pause the prophet was
just about to take a very important decision. The whole world was waiting his
answer : would he continue declaring islam or would he go with his uncle and
give it all up.
He made up his mind and he chose what allah had chosen
from him. He said to his uncle, "by the name allah, uncle". If
your people were to bring the sun and place it in my right
hand, and bring the moon and put it in my left hand to
persuade me to give up islam. I would no do so. I shall carry
out this duty until allah makes it triumphant or i die.abu
thalib was full of surprise and admiration for his nephew. He
was impressed by his caurage, hinesty, and determination
his struggle to continue spreading the light of islam.
