Islamic spreadS of Muhammad period
Allah instructed Muhammad to start with own
household – thon within the own family. Then Muhammad to deliver his message to
his family. He explained the new idea he has received from god and warned them
about what would happen to those who chose not to follow him. Those among the
idolaters could be ignored, if they would nor response to his call. So the down
of Islam is classification into three stages. Firstly Allah ordered him to
invited all his relatives to follow the Islam religion, but most o them refused
it, because it was contrary with their grand parent’s culture, and some of his
family refused hard to the Islam namely his
uncle, ‘Abul ‘Uzza or he was well known as Abu Lahab.
We
know that Muhammad The news of Muhammad’s retirement reached some of his aunts
or relatives. They become worried that he might not be well. They decided to go
and pay him a visit. When they got to his house the asked him about his health
and told him ho worried they had been about him. Muhammad then went and invited
all members of his family to dinner in his house. He invited all his uncles and
his aunts, all his cousins and all their children. All of Muhammad’s relatives
were invited, including even his stubborn and difficult uncle, ‘Abdul ‘Uzza
Muhammad
answered, “There is nothing the matter with me. Allah has ordered me to
introduce Islam to my family and household. So, I have to sit down and about
the best way to do this. I had to collect my thought and ideas before I could
speak to any of you.’
Muhammad
understood his orders and went into retirement in his house for a few days. He
thought very hard about what he had to do, trying to draw up a plan for the
best way to approach his people and call upon them to accept the religion of
Islam.
The
next Allah commanded him to invite all the people publicly. But he started to
invite people publicly by hiding; he declared the god messages from door to
door. It was done on account of the people would be nervous and angry with new
religion which he brought. So, they can accept the Islam willingly. And also in
this way there were many people didn’t believe him and refused him. Event, they
called Muhammad as crazy man. By this reality the prophet wasn’t angry, because
he knew that they still didn’t know about the Islam. So, besides their mocking
he always prayed to god in order he gave them the guidance.
Thirdly
he invited the people publicly and frankly, after Allah sent the message which
orders him to invite the human frankly, in the verse that order him to do this
mission. From here up to Medina
era he invited the people to come into Islam. So the preaching of Islam is
divided into two era, namely Mecca era and Medina era.
What
an enormous man! Muhammad who was fatherless and motherless could change the
world from the bad culture to the best culture which was built under the
pillars of Syahadah and the faiths that no God but Allah.
