Snapshots and pulses.

Scenes from the Prophetic biography in the reading of Muhammad.

By Professor Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ali al-Qarni.
0:24
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

The enemies were not of a single type.
0:53
Abu Jahl was a spiteful enemy.
0:57
Abu Lahab was arrogant.
1:00
Yet Abu Jahl acknowledged the truthfulness of his opponent.
1:03
But stubbornness and pride drove him to what he brought upon himself.
1:09
'Utbah Ibn Rabi'ah was wavering.
1:12
He debated with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
1:16
He offered him various proposals.
1:19
In the end, he saw that the Quraysh should remain neutral.
1:23
But they did not obey him.
1:26
Rather, he tried to stop the bloodshed before it began.
1:30
But Abu Jahl incited them most fiercely.
1:35
It is sufficient for you that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
1:40
"If there is any good in the people,"
1:42
"it is with the man of the red camel."
1:46
As for 'Uqbah Ibn Abi Mu'ayt,
1:48
he felt uneasy that Muhammad would not eat his food,
1:52
unless he entered into Islam.
1:55
So he complied.
1:57
Then his companion, Umayyah Ibn Khalaf, influenced him,
2:01
and he retracted.
2:03
And Abu al-'As Ibn al-Rabi',
2:06
he was an excellent son-in-law despite his polytheism.
2:09
He was guided to the truth thereafter.
2:12
Khalid Ibn al-Walid fought, then believed.
2:16
The Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:19
saw that he possessed intellect and sound judgment,
2:22
and hoped that Allah would not lead him except to good.
2:27
And 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy Ibn Salul,
2:29
he wove intrigues.
2:32
As for the Jews,
2:33
they betrayed and acted treacherously.
2:35
And al-Mut'im Ibn 'Adi and his companions,
2:38
they strove to annul the unjust pact.
2:42
Indeed, one of our flaws in thinking
2:45
is that we categorize people as a single type.
2:49
Just as it was at Uhud,
2:52
the enemies were of various types,
2:55
and the Muslims were of various types as well.
2:59
Among them were those who fled,
3:00
among them were those who inclined toward the spoils,
3:04
among them were those who defended,
3:06
and among them were those who continued to fight until they attained martyrdom.
