- - - - she became the first maytr of islam.
  - - - the prophet replied "there were people before you who are made to stand upon a ditch and they were sawed in half because of their faith, and their were those who would rip their skin and they would be skinned alive , he said they did not give up ,
        
        you are in a rush to see victory but a soon a rider will come when a rider will travel, traveling so peacfully that they will have no one to fear but allah
- - - - so the prophet climbed Safa
        
        and the meccans gathered
        
        there are different narrations of what happned
        
        narration one
        
        the prophet SAW addresses them, and says "I were to tell you a band of horse men are coming around the mountain will you trust me?" they say "yes because we've never expirenced you lying" he replies "then I warn you of a severe impending devine punishment if you don't change you ways"
        
        narration 2
        
        "oh people of quraish save save yourselves from the fire I do not bring harm or benifit" then he names each tribe "save yourselfs from the fire " then turns to his close family and names them"save yourself form the fire I can't help you from Allah"
        
        Abu Lahab responds "the curse of Allha be upon you, may you be ruined come to you, is this what you raised the alarm for"
        
        since the prophet remained quiet and didn't want to indulge Allah SWT responds with Surah Lahab
        
        people assumed it was a family fued
        
        its clear in the first publication presentaition of islam the Prophet SAW useda fear based approach rather then something softer
        
        why
        
        urgent change is oftem motivated by fear
        
        people who are rich and noble are a entitled and sometimes feel allah loves them because of their wealth
        
        fear nuetralises arrogance, fear humblise them
        
        it seems positive messagenge increasing EXISTING momentum
        
        negative motivstion is used to jumpstart momentum
        
        climbing safa was a way for the meccans to call out a national threat
- - - - abu Jahl expresses to the quraysh
        
        you have seen houw stubborn Mbrohammad is
        
        -misguiding our young an naive
        
        breaking up families
        
        disresepecting our forefathers
        
        -disrespecting our gods
      - Waleed ibn Mughira says
        
        soon tribes from arabia are going to be arriving we need to get our story straight
        
        the proposals
        
        lets call him a scorcerer
        
        that wouldn't stick because of their speech and he doesnt have that
        
        lets say he has metal health issues
        
        once they interact with him they will know he doesn't have mental health problems
        
        lets say he is a really good poet
        
        we all know styles of poetry it doesn't fit any
        
        Waleeds ultimate proposal
        
        narration 1#
        
        Waleed listens to quran and says it amazing but abu Jahal confronts him and forces him to contradict
        
        narrations 2#
        
        the only thing likely to stick is that he is a sorcerer and that he is breaking up families
        
        The quranic responce
        
        If allah willed it I wouldn't me reciting this to you I wouldn't have done this . I've lived a life time with you, you know I am illerterate and I cannot read
    - - the political leader address Abu Talib directly and asks him to do something
        
        to the prophet "people are complaing to me...not make both of our lives more difficult, do not task me with a burden i can't bear so stop preaching what they dislike
        
        my dear uncle if they were to place sun on my right and moon on my right i would not abandon my cause until allah grants me victory or i die trying" the prophet urned around and starts crying
        
        abu Talib respond that he will protect the Prophet SAW till his death
        
        pressure
        
        power/wealth
        
        the prophet cried because
        every one is turning against him and abu talib was his father figure so at this time he needed support
        
        they are not messing with the prophet SAW directly is because is someone messes with someone from one tribe its as if they messsing with the whole tribe so that the tribe would retaliate and defend the person
    - - the quraysh decide to switch gears becasue islam is spreading
        
        they decide to use material enticment
        
        Utbah ibn rabi'ah suggest he goes to gently talk to the Prophet SAW
        
        imply that they haven't approached him gently
        
        being tough isn't working so they are going to try something new
        
        Utbah starts by stating
        
        you have split us up divided us,
        
        misguided our young,
        
        disrespected you gods, and religion
        
        and abused our forfathers
        
        he goes on to say
        
        despite this i have come to reason with you,
        
        if its money you want we will pool our resources and you will be the richest,
        
        if its power you want we will make you our cheif and no decisions will be made with out your consent
        
        if its women you want we can find the most handsomest woment you want,
        
        if your possesed we will find you the best doctor
        
        after quietly listening the prophet replies is that all?

        people used to respect you
      - peferential treatment
        
        The elites of Quraysh passed by the Prophet SAW while he was sitting with individuals from the lower strata of society. So they made the following comment
        
        in another narrations they said "tell you nephew to get rid of these slaves and maybe we will see him in a favorable light
        
        these are the peasents that follow you...if you get rid of these low class individuals we would consider your propersition
        
        Allah respond with "don't you dare drive (or shun) away the belivers that call upon Allah day or night.results are not in you hand no one is judging you for who follows you. don'the effort you are not supposed to make is degrading the early adopters. don't you extend your gaze from them be patient with the early companions. this is the test to the rich so the disease of in their heart comes out"
    - - leaders of Quraysh gathered in front of the Ka’bah and demanded an audience with the Prophet
        
        So the Prophet came rushing thinking that perhaps they are willing to listen with an open mind
        
        mohammad (SAW) we have tried to be reasonable, and we tried to negotiate with you, but you have run out of options
        
        then they started to make demands
        
        there isnt a nation with fewer resources and harsher living conditions than us we will belive in you if you ask god if move these restrictive mountains to make space for cultivstion
        
        put in make space and rivers
        
        and bring back qusay ibn kilab and if he testifies for you then we will accept
        
        the propeht replies
        
        "this is not what i came here for. i came with a message from god and i preached it

    - - the quraysh would mock the quran when the muslims prayed so they started reciting very quietly
        
        so Allah sent down "And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer nor with complete silence but seek a middle way"
        
        the mecans would say "why didn't Allah send down revelation among elites if it was so good?"
        
        a lady came to the prophet accusing
        
        the lady was umm jameel the wife of abu jahal
        
        "no new material? looks like your shaytaan has left you"
        
        -this is at a time when revelation has pause for a short time "only a few days"
        
        Khadijah RA asked the Prophet PBUH asked if anything is ok and the prophet worries is Allah is upset with him
        
        excuse for the elites to not belive "we are better than you should we belive in you?" "how come the angle isn't paying us a visit"
        
        once the propeht SAW was praying in front of the kaaba, Uq'bah ib abi muad sneaks up on the prophet SAW while the propeht was in qiyaam,
        
        and he came from the propeht and put his shawl arounf the propehts neck and starts strangle him.
        
        Abu Bakr RA came runing and pushed uqbah and asked "are you trying to kill a man Just becasue he believes in Allah?" the Kuaffer beat up Abu Bakr so bad no one couldn't reconise him,
