HIJRAH TO MADINAH

The Sheppard’s Path

Prophets Dream before moving to Madinah was a dream of a place with dates, between two volcanic mountains.

Pledge of Aqabah: Ansar agreed to provide for a place that would allow him to be safe

  1. Muslims started migrating to migrate
  2. Abu Salama bin Asad and Umm Salamah went to Makkah after just coming directly from Habasha.
  3. The Makkans would not just let any one to leave with out their terms. Abu Salama tried to leave Makkah in day time. However, his wife’s family came and took her and his child. In the struggle to save her, her husband dislocated her shoulder.
  4. The husbands family said that the child was theirs and took him.
  5. She used to stand in the window and stare at Madinah missing her husband as she cried. One day a relative of hers came as she cried, he asked why she was crying, she told him. He went to speak to the elders of her clan, and they agreed to let her go. At the same time, the husband’s family let her child go.
  6. She left, unafraid to be lost in the desert. When she got to the border of Makkah, taneem, Usman Ibn Abi Talhah he asked her “where is a young lady like yourself going”. He said that he would take her all the way to Madinah. He was very kind and generous to her, he would show her the rest places, not impede her privacy. She said that “I don’t know any one who is as kind as Usman ibn Talhah”. He did all of this without a cost even though he wasn’t a muslim. He took her to Madinah and directed her to her husband.
  7. When she got to Madinah, she found that he had been martyred. When she found out she said that she would wail for a year to show the arabs how sad she was. Instead whenever there is a calamity say “Alahumma Ajarni Fe Museebati wa khuluku li khayran minha.” “Oh Allah reward me in this calamity”.
  8. When she didn’t realize anyone who was better than Abu Salamah however, later she married to H. Muhammad (SAW).
  9. Lesson: Don’t ask for calamity, but when it comes be firm.
  10. Souhaib ibn Sanin bin Runin or Shoib the Roman
  11. He was a enslaved by the Romans however eventually he became freed and became rich. The Makkans said “do you think he would we would let you go when you got rich off of our money.” Shoib said that he would give them all his money in return for freedom
  12. Hazrat Muhammad knew about this through revelation and when he met Shoib he said, your agreement was profitable. Because he was able to give up all his money and keep his religion.
  13. There may come a time when they will say to you that you came here from your country as a poor student, we want you to go away and keep your deen or you could stay and keep your wealth.
  14. Umar bin Khattab
  15. Made an appointment with other people: Aaish and Hisham
  16. Hisham bin Aas was withheld and didn’t let him go. He gave up his religion.
  17. Aaish: your mother has vowed to not comb her hair and refused to take shade until you decide to stay. Aaish decided to stay. H. Umar gave him his camel so if he changed his mind he could come back.
  18. It was believed that they couldn’t become muslim after giving up their faith, so
  19. Most companions left at night time. So they were unable to take a lot of things with you for the fear of someone realizing that you are traveling. Abu Bakr asked H. Muhammad repeatedly whether he could leave, but rthe request was denied.
  20. Quraish realized that the muslims were leaving and knew that H. Muhammad (SAW) would be leaving next because they didn’t want H. Muhammad to rally the Madinan. People of Madina were well allied and good fighters as that was a civil war torn city. So they gathered all their leaders together in Nadwa. The only person not to invite was the Nadwan was Abu Lahab because he was a part H. Muhammad’s clan. Shatan joined them as a old wise man and asked to join the Nadwa and provide input
  21. Ideas were: Imprisonment, Iblis: No, his people will eventually free him
  22. Wanted to kill the prophet but would be a tribal war if this happened. The Bani Hashim was a strong tribe, because the Bani Hashim would kill in return for the sake of honor
  23. Ideas were: Exile Muhammad to never set foot in Makkah, Abu Jahal: He will gather the tribes and crush Makkah
  24. Abu Jahl said: that if one tribe killed him then there would be a war, but if all tribes assign one strong man and all kill him at once. Bani Hashim will be forced to take the blood money. Iblis said: That is a good plan. The meeting adjourned at noon at Qailulah time.
  25. Allah told H. Muhammad about the plan. H. Muhammad covered his face and went to Abu Bakrs house at the Qailulah time (like night time its an emergency). H. Muhammad asks Abu Bakr to make all of his family to leave the house (because they were going to plan the hijrah). H. Abu Bakr says, let them stay because they are your family (H. Muhammad is married to Aisha at this time). H. Muhammad says its time to go to hijrah and H. Muhammad would be Abu Bakr’s companion and H. Abu bakr cries with could tears because he was so happy. He was happy regardless of the fact that people were planjing of killing H. Abu Bakr.
  26. When a woman is proposed to for marriage, her wali has to ask for her permission, if she is quite and she hasn’t married before, that is yes because she is shy. If she starts to cry touch her tears: if her tears are cool then she is happy, if they are hot she is angry or unhappy.
  27. H. Abu Bakr said that I have prepared two camels to go. H. Muhammad said he would pay for the camel. This gives us a lesson, as a dawi you must be self sufficient and independent as possible so that you can speak the truth and contribute to Islam.
  28. H. Muhammad had money and capital and had people who would work for him. When he married Khadijah, he was able to hire people to do what Khadijah had once hired him to do.
  29. H. Muhammad asked H. Ali that he wanted him to sleep in the prophets clothes and on his bed. H. Muhammad also instructed Ali to return all the trusts that people had given to Muhammad. Cpuldnt return them before without arousing suspicion. H. Ali was worried since he knew that H. Muhammad was about to be killed. H. Muhammad told him not to be worried as Allah would look after him. This made him brave.
  30. At nightfall H. Muhammad went out the back door when the potential killer were surrounding his house. Upon exiting he threw sand from his hand. Allah directed the sand on all of the watchers eyes. H. Muhammad recited Yasin to ayah 9 which brought sleep to there eyes. In the early morning they woke only to be told by a passing woman that Muhammad was outside the city. They didn’t believe her and went inside only to find Ali in Muhammad’s bed. They beat Ali to get information from him. Ali didn’t know anything.
  31. H. Muhammad stayed in the cave for three days to calm the search down. H. Asma bint Abi Bakr was to bring food every day Abdullah bin Abi Bakr of the news. The problem with this was that there were footprints and there was a need to erase the footprints. Amr ibn fuhairah, would take care of the sheep of Abu Bakr near the cave. This served two purpose: 1. Bring milk and 2. Have a whole bunch of footprints to cover the foot prints.
  32. Abu Jahl was the first to go to Abu Bakrs house to ask where Abu Bakr is. He asks Asma and she said she didn’t know. He was so angry because the plan had failed that he slapped her so hard that her earrings flew off.
  33. Permissible to lie in times of war, when some ones life is in danger, to make peace between two feuding friends, and when praising your spouse. You can also decide to lie as a last resort to cover your sins.
  34. Quraish immediately hired the best trackers, and they led them to the cave in which they were hiding. Abu Bakr, said if the Quraish were to look down they would see them. P. Muhammad said, what are two men compared with the might of Allah.
  35. H. Muhammad was calm because he had done all he could. Now he placed all his trust in Allah.
  36. He had hired a non-muslim guide Abdullah ibn Urkud to guide them from the cave to Madinah.
  37. When it comes to dawah you should always get the best not the second best. Even if you have to hire a non-muslim to do it.

  40. Surakah ibn Malik was a beduion leader and upon hearing about the bounty he wanted to try for it. One of his people saw Muhammad and his companion and told him about this. Muhammad and companions had come to him a little while back but said that they weren’t the “wanted” he sat a little longer, went home asked his servant to bring the horse behind a sand dune, he dragged his spear. He got so close to the Prophet that he was able to hear the recitation of H. Muhammad. Abu Bakr was worried that there was someone behind him. H. Muhammad continued to read. When Surakah tried to move his horse in the Prophet’s direction the horse world move and bucked him off. Surakah fell off the horse again and then he picked lots. The lots said go home again and again. He disobeyed the lots and tried to go again and a ball of dust pops in his face. And now he realized that Prophet was protected by Allah. So he says that Oh Prophet of Allah, I seek your protection and drops all wepeons and comes to the Prophet and asks him I want you to leave me and my people alone. After getting this in writing, Prophet Muhammad SAW asks him to deceive the Quraish. He went back to the Quraish and said that he had searched his territory and Muhammad was not there
  41. What do you think of the day that you will put on bracelets of the king of Persia. Surakah became a muslim later after fighting the muslims, becoming captured, producing the written protection,
  42. In times of hardship remember the VICTORY.

He said bismillah and milked the sheep and gives milk to her and all companions and is last to drink. The person who serves should be last to eat.When Umm Ma’bud’s husband came home he found a bucket of milk and he asked who gave this to you. She said the loveliest man came to visit.
