0:00 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:03 I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

0:09 Snapshots and pulses.

0:12 Scenes from the Prophetic biography in the reading of Muhammad.

0:19 By Professor Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ali al-Qarni.

0:24 I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

0:32 What if?

0:49 These inquiries.

0:51 Are merely open-ended questions.

0:54 That I have pondered within myself.

0:57 And now I place them before you.

1:00 What if Abu Talib had embraced Islam?

1:03 Or, if we let our imagination drift further.

1:06 We might ask ourselves.

1:08 What if Abu Lahab had embraced Islam?

1:11 What if the Banu Shayban had won the honor of supporting the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him?

1:17 Instead of the Aws and the Khazraj.

1:21 Would al-Muthanna Ibn Harithah have stepped forward then?

1:24 Just as Sa'd Ibn Mu'adh did, for example.

1:28 What if the Jews had entered Islam?

1:31 And what if their ally, Abdullah Ibn Ubayy Ibn Salul, had been guided?

1:37 What if the wives of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had chosen separation?

1:43 When the verses of choice were revealed.

1:47 What if the prisoners of Badr had been executed?

1:50 What if the Muslims had been victorious at Uhud?

1:54 What if the Trench had not been dug?

1:57 When the Confederates approached.

2:00 What if Umar had died alongside Hamzah?

2:03 Just as they had embraced Islam together.

2:06 What if Musaylimah had been a Companion?

2:10 What if Mus'ab had disappeared from the scene?

2:15 And the final question.

2:17 A Prophetic question.

2:20 Woe to Quraysh.

2:22 War has consumed them.

2:24 What would it cost them to leave me and the rest of the Arabs alone?

2:30 For they have afflicted me.

2:32 That was what they desired.

2:34 And if Allah grants me victory over them.

2:37 They will enter Islam in great numbers.

2:40 So what does Quraysh think?

2:43 By Allah, I shall continue to strive for that which Allah has sent me with.

2:49 Until Allah grants it victory.

2:51 Or this neck of mine is severed.
