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.
