UNDER ALLAH'S PROTECTION☝️

🥀The day came when Abu Jahl saw the Prophet performing his prayers, so he marched toward him with the intention of carrying out his threat. Suddenly, onlookers saw him retreat before reaching the defenseless Muhammad , his arms clawing at the air.
“What happened, Abu Hakam?” the people asked.
“A trench of fire 🔥 and a screen of devastation stood between him and me,” the dazzled Jahl replied.
“The Prophet remarked to his followers, “Had he come near me, the angels would have swooped down upon every limb of his.”✊

👉Uqba bin Abi Mu’ayt was another who earned eternal disgrace for his despicable treatment of the Prophet . Once, the Prophet was praying near the Ka’bah, while Abu Jahl and his comrades were sitting nearby. Meanwhile, Abu Jahl asked the others, “Is there one who will bring the innards of a camel of Banu so-and-so and place it on Muhammad’s back while he is prostrating in prayer?” Uqba, anxious to prove his daring, got up and returned with the intestines of a slaughtered camel. He stayed to the side until he saw the opportunity to catch the Prophet in prostration. When the Prophet bowed his head to the earth, Uqba laid the camel intestines on the Prophet’s neck and shoulders.

Abu Jahl and his followers burst into laughter, but the Prophet remained in prostration and did not raise his head. Someone informed the Prophet’s daughter Fatimah, who then came runnig to the Ka’bah. She removed the foul-smelling intestines from her father’s back, and he raised his head and prayed to Allah: “O Allah! Seize the Quraysh!” When Abu Jahl and his comrades heard Muhammad’s prayer, felt a very heavy weight on their hearts, because they believed that in Makkah, all prayers were granted.

👉The Prophet continued to pray aloud in front of his enemies, mentioning each one by name and asking Allah to avenge him.

The Quraysh were right about their misgivings regarding the Prophet's prayer for retribution, for Allah soon answered it.🤲 In the Battle of Badr, which was the first battle the Musims faught against the Makkan pagans, each person the Prophet mentioned in his prayer fell on the battlefield.⚔️

It seemed as if the enemies of Islam far outnumbered the followers of the Prophet . All the notables, with the exception of a discerning, fortunate few like Abu Bakr and Uthman , used their wealth and power to persecute the Prophet . Besides Abu Jahl, the five prominent persons who used to ridicule the Prophet were Waleed bin Mugheera Makhzoomi, Aswad bin Abd Yaghuth Zuhri, Abu Zam’a Aswad bin Abdul Muttalib Asadi, Harith bin Qays Khuzai, and As bin Wa’il Sahmi. The Prophet did not take revenge even once during the many years he lived hin Makkah after he began his mission. He was content with Allah’s promise that He Himself would deal with his opponents and detractors. In the end, Muhammad’s harshest enemies met with agonizing deaths.
▪️Waleed bin Mugheera was merely scratched by an arrow, and he thought nothing of it. The angel Jibreel, however, pointed towards the scratch and it became inflamed. The wound plagued Waleed for many years until he finally died.

▪️Likewise, Jibreel pointed towards the head of Aswad bin Abd Yaghuth and he developed boils that caused his death. Another source states that these boils resulted from sunstroke that Jibreel had inflicted on him. According to yet another narration, Jibreel pointed towards Aswad’s belly and he developed dropsy that caused his belly to swell so much that he died.

▪️ Harith bin Qays, the last of these five previously named opponents of the Prophet , met a horrible death. As he lay dying, his stomach filled with yellow fluid, and the contents of his intestines began to flow from his nose. Divine intervention and retribution came to those most active and vocal in their hatred of Islam, but for the most part, the Prophet quietly endured all the hardships, just as prophet’s before him had done.

Looking at his patience and unshakable faith, the believers were heartened during their sufferings in the cause of Allah. Verbal abuse and physical threats continued, so the Prophet devised ways of defense.

He took two steps to help secure the fledgling Muslims.

HOW DID THE PROPHET ﷺ HELP THEM, THAT WE WILL KNOW NEXT TIME ‼️
