Transcript of The Hardships Of Prophet Muhammad and His Companions

Quraysh Distorting The Message
Quraysh tried to distort the da'wa. They accused Muhammad of being a poet, a liar, insane, and a magician so that those listening to him would get confused and leave him.
The Ridiculing of the Prophet
Quraysh decided that whenever anyone would spot Muhammad they would say "madman" aloud and run away. They did this to hurt his pride and discourage him but our brave Prohet carried on his work.
Throwing The Insides Of A Camel At The Prophet

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
Once the Prophet was offering prayers at the Ka'ba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his companions. One of them said to the others, "Who amongst you will bring the abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back of Muhammad, when he prostrates?" The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet prostrated and then placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I wish I had some people with me to hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on one another. Allah's Apostle was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter) came and threw that (camel's abdominal contents) away from his back.
Throwing Garbage At The Prophet
A women would everyday collect the garbage from her house and throw it on the Prophet when he used to pass by her house. In this day and time, if someone did that to us, we would hurt them back. But despite getting dirty and feeling abused, the prophet would never retaliate and would simply keep on walking.
Thank you!
AssalamuAlaikum

Boycott of The Muslims
The Quraysh boycotted the Prophet and his followers by putting a ban on doing business with them, talking to them or giving them food. This included children, men and women, the old and the sick and the feeble. Some of them succumbed yet nobody would hand over the Prophet to his persecutors. An uncle of the Prophet, Abu Lahab, however left his tribesmen and participated in the boycott along with the pagans. After three dire years, during which the victims were obliged to devour even crushed hides, four or five non-Muslims, more humane than the rest and belonging to different clans proclaimed publicly their denunciation of the unjust boycott.
The Prophet At Taif
The Prophet and his companions were persecuted so much, that Prophet Muhammad decided to go to the city of Taif for support. However, when he reached there, no one was interested in his message. He tried to convince the chiefs of the town, but they set the young boys and slaves to abuse and throw stones at the Prophet. He bled profusely but did not retaliate. He eventually sat down out of Taif and Jibrael came to him. He asked the Prophet whether he wanted him to destroy the city. The Prophet (SAW) declined his offer and instead said, that maybe some of the descendants of that town's people would believe, so don't destroy the city.
Bilal (RA) Gets Tortured
Upon accepting Islam, Bilal (RA) was tortured severely by his master for many days. He was whipped and made to lay on the scorching sand but he always stuck to his Iman and would continously say "Ahad! Ahad!". His master then called four people to put a boulder on his chest and not let him go till he rejected Allah. However Bilal did not turn back on his faith. Eventually Abu Bakr (RA) bought him from his master and set him free.
The Death Of Sumaya(RA) and Yasir(RA)
The non-muslims would torture Summayah and Yasir (RAA) and the prophet (saw) would see them getting tortured but he could not do anything because the Muslims were weak. Eventually Summayah (RA) was martyred when the non-muslims shoved a spear in her private parts. Yasir (RA) was martyred when the non-muslims tied him to two horses and ripped his body apart.
Connection to Tarbiyah
The Prophet's reaction to his enemies relates to Physical Literacy because he went through physical harm and neveer flatered while preaching Islam.
Whenever the Prophet or his companions were wronged, they never retaliated violently or let their emotions overcome themselves. The Prophet always reacted to mistreatment from the Kuffar with mercy and forgiveness. He treated everone with utmost care. Even when people hit him he never reacted violently unless he was in war. He is the absolute best role model for the entire Ummah.
The Mercy of the Companions and the Prophet SAW
Battles For Islam
During the spreading of Islam, many battles were fought to protect this religoun. These include the battles of Badr, Uhud, Khandak, and many more. The Prophet and his companions fought bravely in all these wars and defended Islam even at the cost of their own lives.
The Prophet's reaction to his enemies relates to Physical Literacy because he went through physical harm and never faltered while preaching Islam.
Connection to Tarbiyah
The Effect of the Prophet's Decision
Eventually, one of the descendants of the people of Taif preached Islam to Southesat Asia. Without the Prophet's decision, many of us would not be Muslim.
