00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.359
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

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).

00:00:17.429 --> 00:00:23.190
The divisions of the call to Islam (Da'wah).

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:

00:00:28.989 --> 00:00:31.730
The Meccan phase and the Medinan phase.

00:00:31.730 --> 00:00:34.729
The Meccan phase is further divided into two parts:

00:00:34.770 --> 00:00:36.090
The secret phase.

00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:38.649
This lasted for three years.

00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:39.969
And the public phase.

00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:43.130
This was by speech only, without combat.

00:00:43.130 --> 00:00:46.689
It began from the start of the fourth year of the Prophetic mission.

00:00:46.689 --> 00:00:49.929
And continued until the migration to Medina.

00:00:49.929 --> 00:00:52.820
The secret call to Islam.

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.

00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:04.219
He informed his wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, may Allah be pleased with her, and his daughters.

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:07.500
And Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:11.700
He was under the care of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:14.500
And his freedman, Zayd Ibn Harithah.

00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:17.620
The first to believe in him from outside his household was:

00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:21.060
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him.

00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:26.299
He entered the religion of Allah during this early period of the call.

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)

00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:35.969
A small number of the early noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, embraced Islam.

00:01:35.969 --> 00:01:38.329
These individuals accepted Islam in secret.

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.

00:01:45.689 --> 00:01:50.129
This was because the call was still individual and secret.

00:01:50.129 --> 00:01:56.609
The revelation had continued and intensified following the descent of the beginning of Surah al-Muddaththir.

00:01:56.650 --> 00:02:00.530
People began to hear whispers of the call to Islam.

00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:05.609
During this secret period, the poor and the enslaved entered the faith.

00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:12.219

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:17.030
Authored by Sheikh Musa al-Rashid al-Azimi.

00:02:17.030 --> 00:02:23.900
Presented by the Mawaddah Association in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

00:02:23.939 --> 00:02:30.819
If the longing of all worlds for one another is great,

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:37.830
The longing for you, O Prophet, knows no bounds.

00:02:37.830 --> 00:02:44.439
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,

00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:52.500
And as long as lips move in remembrance.
