On April 10th 2011 Our family started to read MUHAMMAD (Salallahu Alaiyhi Wasalam) his life based on the earliest resource by Martin Lings as a group together.
April 12 th 2011Chapter 4 "The Need for a Prophet"
At the time of the Prophet's (saw) father Abd' Allah, Christians also came for pilgrimage to the Kaaba (Sanctuary of Abraham). One Christian was allowed to paint an icon of the Virgin Mary and child Christ on the inside wall of the Kaaba. Waraqah who was a cousin of the Abd Al-Mutallib (Prophet's grandfather) had become a Christian. There was a belief among the Christians of those parts that the coming of a Prophet will take place. Waraqah told his sister Qutaylah about the coming of the Prophet. She became obsess in trying to figure out who is the Prophet and if he is already there. At one time she thought that the Prophet was the Prophet's (saw) father Abd' Allah. He was very handsome, "he was like the Joseph of his times". She had eyes for him. When Abd'Allah was going to get married to Aminah, her sudden impulse made her shouted out at him for him to take her as his wife. The marriage to Aminah took place. After a few days, she saw Abd'Allah again and she searched his face for that light, that spark , that beauty and she couldn't find it. She told him that the light had left him. By the this time , Prophet Muhammad (saw) was already conceived in the womb of Aminah....The light had left the face of Abd'Allah and transferred into the womb of Aminah.
April 16th 2011
Last night we were reading the chapter " The year of the Elephant" when the jealous Yemeni the so called Christian, Abrahah wanted to destroy the Kaaba out of jealously because he wanted his Cathedral to be the center for pilgrimage at the time in the Arab region. So his army started to approach Mecca. Abd Al-Mutallib ( Prophet's grandfather) heard about this, but he was not afraid, he had so much faith in Allah that he knew God will protect the Kaaba. At this time the Prophet (saw) was not born. The Kaaba was protected by Allah through the birds. This incident made me realise even more that Allah will always protect what/whom he loves.
