1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,359
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:12,910
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:12,910 --> 00:00:17,429
A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

4
00:00:17,429 --> 00:00:23,190
The divisions of the call to Islam (Da'wah).

5
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:28,989
The call to Islam during the life of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is divided into two phases:

6
00:00:28,989 --> 00:00:31,730
The Meccan phase and the Medinan phase.

7
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:34,729
The Meccan phase is further divided into two parts:

8
00:00:34,770 --> 00:00:36,090
The secret phase.

9
00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:38,649
This lasted for three years.

10
00:00:38,649 --> 00:00:39,969
And the public phase.

11
00:00:39,969 --> 00:00:43,130
This was by speech only, without combat.

12
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:46,689
It began from the start of the fourth year of the Prophetic mission.

13
00:00:46,689 --> 00:00:49,929
And continued until the migration to Medina.

14
00:00:49,929 --> 00:00:52,820
The secret call to Islam.

15
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:58,420
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, began to call those he trusted to Islam in secret.

16
00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:04,219
He informed his wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, may Allah be pleased with her, and his daughters.

17
00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:07,500
And Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him.

18
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,700
He was under the care of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

19
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:14,500
And his freedman, Zayd Ibn Harithah.

20
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,620
The first to believe in him from outside his household was:

21
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:21,060
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him.

22
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:26,299
He entered the religion of Allah during this early period of the call.

23
00:01:26,299 --> 00:01:29,379
“Is he whose bosom Allah hath expanded for Al-Islam, so that he followeth a light from his Lord, (as he who disbelieveth)? Then woe unto those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah. Such are in plain error.” (39:22)

24
00:01:29,379 --> 00:01:35,969
A small number of the early noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, embraced Islam.

25
00:01:35,969 --> 00:01:38,329
These individuals accepted Islam in secret.

26
00:01:38,329 --> 00:01:45,689
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would meet with them and guide them in the religion while remaining hidden.

27
00:01:45,689 --> 00:01:50,129
This was because the call was still individual and secret.

28
00:01:50,129 --> 00:01:56,609
The revelation had continued and intensified following the descent of the beginning of Surah al-Muddaththir.

29
00:01:56,650 --> 00:02:00,530
People began to hear whispers of the call to Islam.

30
00:02:00,530 --> 00:02:05,609
During this secret period, the poor and the enslaved entered the faith.

Authored by Sheikh Musa al-Rashid al-Azimi.

33
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:23,900
Presented by the Mawaddah Association in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

34
00:02:23,939 --> 00:02:30,819
If the longing of all worlds for one another is great,

35
00:02:30,819 --> 00:02:37,830
The longing for you, O Prophet, knows no bounds.

36
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:44,439
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

37
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:52,500
And as long as lips move in remembrance.
