saleha’s Reviews > The Noble Life of the Prophet Volume 1 > Status Update

Diff. personalities were discussed, during the advent and preaching of early islam,

1. Abu Talib, went against everything who were harming the Prophet and His message, was selfless, for him, protected without limitations,

2. Waleed ibn Mughairah, thought, thought, realized the truth, then planned against it, for him is twice the curse, in certain.

Both were chieftains of Quraysh, and most of the influential ones.

The writer has been taking some pauses from the series of events taking place in the life of the Prophet, and instead, makes us live the part of each difficulty and problems which arose, he brings references from Quran which were answers to the arising questions in the early preaching era.

House of Al Arqaam was chosen where the Prophet used to teach and spread the message of God to the early companions, where they all used to gather,
His house was a secret place, in amid of hungry enemies, ready to attack,

He, Al Arqaam, was 16 years of age,
I repeat, 16 years of age.

Pg.146 mentions the beauty of how Khadija r.a supported and provided care to the Prophet when the first revelation came upon him,

1. She reminded him about his good qualities
2. She assured him that Allah will not forsake you
