When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, openly declared Islam to his people,

his people did not initially distance themselves from him or reject him,
0:40
until he mentioned their deities and criticized them.

Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:
1:17
Allah protected His Messenger, peace be upon him, and shielded him through his uncle, Abu Talib,
1:24
because he was a man of nobility, held in high regard, and esteemed among them.
1:29
They dared not confront him regarding the matter of Muhammad, peace be upon him,
1:35
because they knew of his love for him.
1:38
It was part of the wisdom of Allah that he remained upon their religion,

"May you be ruined for the rest of the day;
2:16
is this why you have gathered us?"
