Bai'atul Al 'Aqabah Al Ula


       After the Muslims migration to Habashah for the second time, Quraish became very fierce. Their torture to the Muslims who remained in Mecca intensified to great limits. Rasulu Allah (saws) was facing the extremist resistance and the gravest persecution. In the midst of the most sever circumstances, Rasulu Allah (saws) stood fast for his message. He continued his call. As usual, Rasulu Allah (saws) took advantage of the Hajj season to spread his word. He went from one tribe to another, from one group to another calling them to Islam. Sadly, his call fell on deaf ears. Worse yet, people of Quraish were always ahead of him, warning Arab tribes from listening to him.

      Driven by the faith of a true Prophet, Muhammad went on in his tedious efforts to find someone who would listen to him. Finally, he met a group of men from Yathrib. Six people from the tribe of Al Khazraj, who were tired of the situation in their hometown. He spoke to them and they listened carefully. This time, his call did not fall on deaf ears, it rather fell on heedful hearts. They accepted Islam. After the Hajj season, they went back to Yathrib. They delivered the message to their countrymen. Their call for Islam was successful. They came back in the following year along with another six who had already accepted Islam.
