Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) belongs to a noble family of Mecca. She was a trader by profession. She used to import and export goods from Mecca to other countries. At that time Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was also famous for his honesty and dignity to his work. People called him Al-Sadiq and Al-Amin. When Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) heard about his honesty and truthfulness she appointed him to sell her goods at Syria. Hazrat Muhammad Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam performed his duty with full devotion and made a huge profit.


The other companions who were with Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam at the time of trading told about the politeness and good behavior of Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam to Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha). Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) was so greatly pleased and impressed with Hazrat Muhammad Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam and offered her hand to marriage with Hazrat Muhammad Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam. Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam accepted her proposal. She was forty at the time of marriage and Hazrat Muhammad Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam was twenty five years old.


Her first husband was Abu-Hala and she had two daughters Hind and Hala from Abu-Hala. Her second husband was Atiq bin Makhzoomi and through him she had one daughter Hinda. Although it was her third marriage but also she had the privilege and blessing to become the first wife of Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam. They had six children; two sons and four daughters Abdullah bin Muhammed, Qasim bin Muhammed, Zainab (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) bintay Muhammed, Fatima (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) bintay Muhammed, Ruqayya (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) bintay Muhammed and Umme Kulsoom (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) bintay Muhammed. Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam and Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) proved to be an ideal husband and wife for the whole world.


Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) faced all the hardships with Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam when he announced himself as the prophet of Allah. She was the one who believed that Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam is the messenger of Allah and also she was the first lady who accepted Islam. When the behavior of Quraish was so brutal with Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam even then Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) encouraged Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam to continue his preaching of Islam. She spent all her money for the sake of Islam. Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam respected her a lot. He always used to say that Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) was the first lady who believed him when no one else had faith in him.


Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam did not merry again in the life of Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha). They were lived together for twenty five years. She was died at the 10th year of prophet-hood. Hazrat Muhammed Sal-Allah-O-Alaihe Wassallam was so deeply grieved because at the same year his beloved uncle Abu-Talib also died and therefore that year was called Aam-ul-Huzn (The year of grief). Indeed the life of Hazrat Khadija-tul-Kubra (Razi Allah-Tala Anha) was an example for the whole Ummah and we have to learn the true Islamic way of life from her.

Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) also known as Khatam-ul-Anbiya born in the sacred city of Mecca on Friday 17th Rabi-ul-awwal. Hazrat bibi Amina (R.A) was the lucky lady who changed the history of humanity and uplifted people of the era from the nethermost pit of humiliation and raised them to the apex of grandeur and glory and herald a message of prosperity and peace for the retarded people and blessed them with a panacea for ills and pains.

Later on when Medina was completely under the governance of Muslims, Charter of Medina or Constitution of Medina was signed. According to this law Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is the messenger of ALLAH. This is a really big achievement from Muslims because they all were standing at some solid state. Their member claims that they all were separate from the others. Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is very merciful, that's why they established certain position of non-Muslim too. The non-Muslims could live freely in Medina until they follow the constitution. Minorities in Medina had religious freedom upon paying some nominal taxes. Those who worshiped only one ALLAH is free from this law.

After that they all decided to spread Islam to some greater extent. By the permission of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) a letter had sent to the powerful and strong rulers of the country of Byzantium, Egypt, Negus and Persia in which invitation from Muslims to accept Islam. All were impressed by the confidence of Muslims. At the age of 628 A.D Muhammad (P.B.U.H) with 1500 followers demands for the access of Kaaba. This was a turning point for Muslims; this was the birth city of Muhammad (P.B.U.H). This year the enemies of Muhammad deny giving permission for the access of Kaaba. In 629 A.D Muslims occupied Mecca without any battle, in short with peace. After that they cracked the idols placing inside the Kaaba. After that huge leaders accepted Islam name Hazrat Khalid-bin-Waleed who is considered as the ""Sword of ALLAH" and Amr ibn al as the future leader of Egypt. Their acceptance of Islam is really a great achievement because they both were one of the biggest enemies of Muhammad and Islam.

This was one of the biggest achievements because after Medina, the Muslims occupied Mecca. In 632 3 years later Muhammad (P.B.U.H) suddenly got ill and on June 8, with his 3^rd wife Hazrat Aisha (R.A) Muhammad (P.B.U.H) died at noon. The death of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was such a biggest loss for Muslims. For all other Muslims He was such a great leader, friend, administrator who brings Islam from the darkness to the light of this world. For a few days all other activity was stopped due to this loss. Later on after the death of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) Khilafat movement had started.

Brief History of Islam Part (2 of 5)

When the preaching of Islam had been officially started, the opposition made strong planning to destroy their preaching as well as their preachers by any mean. When the situation got out of control at that time by the instruction of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) many of his companion in which children, women, animals and men were included migrated to Ethiopia. The ruler of Ethiopia at that time was Christian who granted the permission to protect Muslims. This was one of the respected steps from that community which has never forgotten until yet. On the other side, in Mecca the situation was getting worse day by day. The followers of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) were harassed, tortured and even badly tortured. Later on 70 followers of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) migrated towards Yathrib, where they plan to build a new position of Islam. Currently the name of Yathrib as Medina (the city of Muhammad (P.B.U.H))

In the 622 A.D Muhammad (P.B.U.H) with his beloved friend Hazrat Abu bakar Siddique (R.A) decided to join the people of Medina, because they know that people of Mecca want to kill them. Later on when the peoples of Mecca attack in the house of the Prophet, they were shocked because a cousin of Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was there whose name was Hazrat Ali (R.A). When they all were failed to kill Muhammad (P.B.U.H) then the leader of opposition sets the price of Muhammad had. Cave of Hira is that cave where Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and his friend Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) had taken shelter over there. By the miracle of ALLAH the opposition of Muhammad came over there but they did not find Muhammad (P.B.U.H) over there. After that Muhammad (P.B.U.H) moved towards Medina. When the people of Medina, came to know that their Prophet was coming to Mecca all were in a situation of happiness and they all welcomed Muhammad (P.B.U.H) warmly.

The people and supporters of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) requested him to settle in Medina. The first battle of Islam was Jang-e-badr which was held at Badr, now this is the small town in Medina near the southwest. This battle has very important effects on the history of Islam. One of the powerful communities ensured to help Muslim but when the battle started they all leave the Muslim. Later at this community was barred from Medina 1 month after the battle. Those who betray Muslim in this battle faced the warning. Later on many battles had been fought, another important battle which has to be discussed was a battle of trench (Ghazwa-e-Khandaq) in which Muslims developed new technique of defense, because a group of 10 thousand people were coming to attack on Medina. The Muslims decided to dig a trench on the side where non-Muslim comes from, this uncertain hindrance created a problem for attackers and at last they drop their weapons and went back. After that the Medina was completely the land of Muslims.

Brief History of Islam Part (1 of 5)

Islam is one of the most peaceful religion in the whole world; there are very few people who exactly know the history of Islam. Islam is also called the religion of the Prophets and specially related to our Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). It was about 1400 years ago in the 570 A.D a child was born whose name was Muhammad and later on he had become the Prophet of one of the great religion called Islam. He was born to the family related to the clan of Quraish which was among the powerful communities of Mecca at that time.

At that time Mecca was considered as the hub of trading that is the reason many prominent and wealthy people accommodated there. Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) father had died before the birth of Muhammad (P.B.U.H). Mother of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) died after the birth of Muhammad (P.B.U.H). After that the care of our beloved Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) was taken by his grandfather whose name was Hazrat Abdul Mutlib and real name was Shaiba, he was the head of Banu Hashim community at that time. Later on when his grandfather had also died than take care of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was raised to Abu Talib who was the uncle of our Prophet.

There was a ritual that every born child had to live with other well known community of that time that is the reason our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) had sent to a Bedouin family. This ritual leaved a deep impact on the life of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). His life was full of hard work, troubles and other difficult things but with all these our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) blessed with excellent and heart winning qualities. He has patience, well behaved and speaking was his proudest art. The life our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) was hidden or private but when he blessed with the label of Prophet then he came out and shared his thoughts. When He was 20 years old he first married to the widow named Hazrat Khadija (R.A). He had two sons by Hazrat Khadija (R.A) but unfortunately no one could survive and 4 daughters by her.

When our Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was at the age of 40, one day he was in the cave of Hira according to their normal routine and suddenly the greatest event of Islam took place, where He was blessed officially by ALLAH's messenger. This news convey by the most sacred angel of ALLAH, Hazrat Jibraeel (A.S). The Angel tried to teach Muhammad (P.B.U.H) but He was unable to do 3 times. Finally Muhammad recited the message of ALLAH which is mentioned in QURAN 96 chapter. Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) first revealed this situation to his wife Hazrat Khadija (R.A) and later on their close relative or companions.

Later on our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) spread Islam and their close companions joined them and proclaim that ALLAH is one and he is our greatest Lord. In the early ages of Islam, teaching of Islam was conducted secretly but later on they all were taught openly to the people of Mecca. The ALLAH's message is only conveyed by Muhammad (P.B.U.H). There are many people who rejected their message, even many people who belong to their own tribe refused to accept Islam. Abu Jehal is the leader of the community who were against the preaching of Islam. They all blame that, it was black magic or the mission of Muhammad and much more. To accept Islam you must accept that ALLAH is one and there is no companion with ALLAH, this is one of the top and basic necessities to enter in the circle of Islam.
