Chapter 14: Sorrow
During the very difficult three years in the camp, Khadija had become very weak.
A wife for 25 years to Mohammed (SAW) she passed away to the after life.
Mohammed (SAW) lost the love of his life. His comfort. His supporter. This made him very very sad.
Soon after Khadija, Abu Talib, the uncle of Mohammed (SAW) passed away.
Abu Talib who suffered for three years because he did not want to give up Mohammed (SAW) was no longer there. The protector was gone.
Now with Abu Talib gone, Abu Lahab became the leader of Bani Hashim. Abu Lahab and his wife were enemies of Mohammed (SAW).
Abu Lahab and his wife were cursed in the Quran. They hated Islam very much.
Mohammed (SAW) had no more protection. So he started to look for a place where muslims could be safe.
