Makkah · The early years
Before the world knew his name.
An orphaned boy grows into the most trusted man in Makkah, the one people call al-Amin, “the trustworthy,” before the first revelation. Then one night on a mountain, everything changes.
Ta'if · Rejection and mercy
They threw stones. He chose mercy.
After rejection in Makkah, he goes to Ta'if and is driven out by stones until his feet bleed. An angel offers to bring two mountains down upon them. Our Prophet ﷺ declines, hoping their descendants will worship Allah.
The Hijrah · The road to Madinah
Leaving Makkah. Beginning again.
A friendship tested in a cave. A city that opens its arms to strangers. A community built around faith. Abu Bakr RA stands beside our Prophet ﷺ on the journey into the unknown.
Khandaq · At the trench
More than a name in a history book.
A trench dug to protect Madinah. Salman al-Farisi RA's idea. The companions digging through hunger alongside our Prophet ﷺ. Follow the account one sourced moment at a time.
The later years · The return to Makkah
The same city. So much has changed.
He returns to the city that once drove him out, not for revenge, but for mercy. Bilal RA, once enslaved and tortured for his faith, climbs to the roof of the Ka'bah and calls the Ummah to prayer.
A few glimpses here. A whole year to follow the story.
