Chapter 9: Patience

Patience was the secret that allowed Mohammed (SAW) and his Sahaba to survive the evil of the Quraysh of Makkah.

Abu Jahl, enemy of Allah, one day saw the Prophet Mohammed (SAW) bowing down at the Kaaba.

He took the guts of a camel and placed it on the Holy Prophets head. He did this out of his hatred to Allah's message.

Mohammed (SAW) was patient. He did not hit Abu Jahl. Fatima (RA) came and cleaned her father and wept at how cruel the leaders of Makkah were.

On another day, Abu Jahl, took a rock to smash Mohammed (SAW)'s head while he was praying.

Suddenly, Abu Jahl dropped the rock and ran away. Later he said, he saw an Angel with fiery wings protecting Prophet Mohammed (SAW).

The evil non believers - started to tell lies about Mohammed (SAW).

They said Mohammed is a poet. They said Mohammed is a Liar.

They said Mohammed is a Magician. They said Mohammed is Mad.

They said Mohammed was possessed by spirits

Patience and trust in Allah was the secret, how the early muslims carried Islam in their hearts.
