  4. Conversion of Umar(RA) • One day he set out with a sword in his hand with the intentionto kill the Prophet, but somebody told him that his own sister had accepted Islam. • He went straight to his sister, Fatima’s house and heard Khabbab bin Aratt(ra) reciting surah TA’ HA. • They hid the mushafwhen they heard Umarapproaching.

  9. Another kind of negotiation • They were willing to give up some of their faith, requesting him to leave some of his. • Allah revealed: قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ2. لَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ3. وَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ4. وَلَا أَنَا عَابِدٌ مَا عَبَدْتُمْ5. وَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ6. لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ

  10. Abu Talib assembles his family • Abu Talib exhorted Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib to protect the Prophet. • All of them whether believers or non believers, responded positively and took oath to protect the Prophet, except Abu Lahab who sided with the idolaters.

  12. A pact of Injustice and Aggression • Quraish formed an evil confederation. • They took an oath to boycott BanuHashim and Banu Al-Muttalib until the Prophet was given up to them to be killed. • They made a written covenant and put that on a wall, inside Ka’abah.

  13. Three years of great hardship • Abu Talib took BanuHashim and BanuMuttalib and confined them within a narrow pass (shi’b of Abu Talib). • The supply of food was almost stopped. • They had to eat tree leaves and animal skins.

  14. Three years of great hardship • Cries of little children, suffering from hunger, could be heard clearly. • Prophet did not stop preaching even in such harsh conditions.

  15. Dissolution of the pact • Hisham bin Amr initiated and gathered a small group of five people, who were also grieving at the sad situation of BanuHashimand BanuMuttalib, near Kaabah to abolish the pact. • They demanded Quraish to tear the pact. • Abu Jahl argued with them and said that it would not be torn until the Prophet was handed over to be killed.

  16. Dissolution of the pact • Mean while Abu Talib came and said that a revelation had been sent to his nephew that the ants had already eaten the pact. • Later they all discovered that to be true and so the pact was dissolved and people were permitted to leave Shi’bAbitalib and go home.
