The Boycott


       The boycott was a difficult trial for the Muslims but it did little to stop the spread of Islam.

      Eventually, a noble man from Mecca felt shame of what the people of Mecca did. He called the chiefs of Mecca to a meeting. He told them that it was not right to starve the Muslims to death and he suggested to left the sanctions against the Muslims.

      The chiefs of Mecca agreed. They went to the Ka'bah to remove the document. To their surprise, they found that an insect had destroyed the document; nothing was left of it except the words, "By the name of Allah".

      The boycott ended but the persecution did not. In fact, things had become much harder for the Muslims in Mecca.
