POWERFUL WORDS 🌠

💥Suddenly the Prophet rose before the Quraysh and began reciting the verses of Surah Al-Najm🌠. The Quraysh kept silent. No one there had ever heard such powerful words✊. They were bewildered: Muhammad , their sworn enemy, was standing before them reciting, and they were left powerless.

No one could stand to make him stop, and none could even ridicule him🚫. The Prophet reached the closing verse and prostrated, putting his head to the ground in worship of Allah, Lord of the universe: “Prostrate before Allah and worship Him.” (53: 62)

🔆Miraculously, all of the Quraysh were so overcome by the recitation that they prostrated along with him. Ibn Mas’ud , a Companion of the Prophet , reported that one of the Quraysh present that day, Umayya bin Khalaf, “took a handful of dust and rubbed it on his forehead saying, ‘This is enough for me.”’ Ibn Mas’ud would later see Umayya killed during the Battle of Badr.⚔️

Return of the immigrants🕋

News of how the Quraysh had prostrated after hearing the Prophet recite verses from the Qur’an reached the Muslims in Abyssinia. It was rumoured that the Quraysh had accepted Islam. Joyfully, they left Abyssinia and set sail for Arabia. Once they were just outside Makkah, however, they discovered that nothing had changed. The Quraysh were still opposed to Islam, and Makkah was still a hostile territory. Disappointed, some decided to return to Abyssinia, while others entered Makkah and found shelter with some sympathetic non-Muslims.

2️⃣Second migration to Abyssinia

👉Their prostration at the close of Surah Al-Najim had left the Quraysh looking weak. This loss of strength had to be countered with increased hostility, or people would think they had become convinced of the truth of Muhammad’s message. Therefore, they began to intensify their persectuiton of the Muslims. Furthermore, the Quraysh were growing jealous of the hospitality the King of Abyssinia had extended to the Muslim immigrants in his country. They resolved to match his kindness to the Muslims in hostility.

For reasons of safety, the Prophet decided to again have a group of Muslims migrate to Abyssinia. Eighty-two or eightythree men and eighteen women got themselves ready for the journey. This time, of course, it would not be easy for them to slip past the Quraysh, but they managed to flee Makkah without their enemies noticing.

The Quraysh found it difficult to accept the fact that a large group of Muslims had managed to escape their campaign of terror. Safe in Abyssinia, the Muslims now enjoyed the experience of not facing any opposition to their faith and way of life. The Quraysh, nonetheless, had a plan. They sent two of their very shrewd envoys, Amr bin Al-Aas and Abdullah bin Rab’ia to Abyssinia to have the Muslims extradited back to Arabia.

👉According to the plan, two representatives of the Quraysh
first met the Abyssinian bishops and bribed them in order to gain access to the King 🤴🏽. When they succeeded in getting an audience with him, they presented him with gifts from Arabia🎁.

Then they stated their case: “O King! Some foolish men from our city have taken refuge in your majesty’s country. They have abandoned our religion,
but rather than accepting your religion, they have invented one of their own. Their families, knowing of their delusions, have sent us to Your Majesty to bring them back home.”
