Chapter 7: Offer
The rulers of Makkah were afraid if people worshipped Allah, then rest of the Arabs would stop coming to Makkah for Hajj. They thought the idols helped them to be rich and powerful.
The Quraysh were traders. They thought maybe Mohammed (SAW) was like them. All he wanted was money and power.
So they went to Abu Talib, the leader of Banu Hashim and uncle of Mohammed (SAW) to offer a deal.
They said, they would worship the invisble Allah one year and Mohammed (SAW) and his followers would have to worship the idols one year.
They also offered huge wealth. They offered Power. They offered the most beautiful lady of Makkah in marriage. They offered the best doctor, if he was sick.
Mohammed (SAW) rejected all their offers. Even if they gave the sun in his right hand and the moon in the left, he would not disobey Allah and stop the message of Islam.
The Quraysh were very angry at this reply. They were now going to be open enemy to Islam.
