The State of Mecca before the Prophet -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- was Sent Part 02 of 04

The ignorant Arabs believed in shaman, fortune tellers and astrologers.

  • Shaman: Are people who admit to knowing events that will occur in the future.
  • Fortune Teller: Are people who claim to know the stolen or lost items by doing certain deeds such as looking in a bowl, etc.
  • Astrologers: Are people who look at the stars to find out what happens to the universe in the future. When it rains, they say that this rain is the cause of this and that star.

Among the beliefs of the ignorant people is TIYAROH, which is feeling unlucky because of something. If they have cravings, then they fly birds. If the bird flies to the right, they continue their desire and if they fly to the left, they don't do it. Likewise they feel unlucky with an animal passing in front of them, feel unlucky with certain days or certain months and so on.

Renovation of the Kaaba

When Muhammad Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam was 35 years old, the Quraysh gathered to renovate the Ka'bah.  When the building has been renovated and it remains only to put Hajar Aswad, then there is a dispute between the tribes who will place Hajar Aswad because they think it is an honor, until almost a war breaks out. Then after that they agreed on a certain day that the first to enter the Grand Mosque on that day will make a decision between them. And it turned out that the first to enter that day was Muhammad Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam. So they said "This is al-Amin, we bless him!".  So Muhammad Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam asked for a cloth and put hajar aswad on it. After that he asked each of the tribes to hold the cloth and bring hajar aswad together to put hajar aswad back in place so that when he arrived at his place, Muhammad Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam took it and put it in its place.  Thus completed the renovation of the Ka'bah, and thus Muha...

Muhammad -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- Breastfeeding

Abdul Muttollib, after hearing about the birth of Rasulullah -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him-, took him to the Ka'bah and gave him the name Muhammad, a name that was foreign to the Arabs at that time. Then Abdul Muththollib looked for a Bedouin Arab woman to breastfeed the Prophet -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- which is the habit of urban Arabs to keep their children away from various urban diseases and to be strong and master fluent Arabic. However, at that time, no Bedouin Arab woman was willing to breastfeed her because he -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- was an orphan, so it was feared that no one would pay for her breastfeeding fee. Finally there was a woman named Halimah bintu Abi Dzu'aib as-Sa'diah who came from Bani Sa'ad, she was the one who was willing to breastfeed him. This was because Halimah felt sorry for him -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- and did not want to return to her village without bringing a baby to breastfeed. Fina...

Understanding Sirah and the Importance of Studying Sirah Nabawiyyah

Sirah means the way.  Sirah Nabawiyyah means the life journey of the Prophet Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam. The importance of studying the sirah of the prophet:   1. Among the forms of love to him.  2. One way to recognize his words and behavior that a Muslim should imitate and emulate (Surah al-Ahzab 21).  3. Strengthening faith in the heart.  4. Understand the verses of the Koran and the reasons for their descent, and understand the hadiths of the Prophet.  5. Knowing the friends (ash-Shahabah) chosen by Allah to accompany His Prophet.  Ali bin Husayn bin Ali bin Abi Talib said "We were taught the wars of the Prophet and the wars that the Prophet did not follow as we were taught in one letter in the Koran" (al-Khatib al-Baghdadi), the point is to repeat.  And said Ismail bin Muhammad bin Saad bin Abi Waqqash (died 134H) "Our father taught us the battles of the Prophet and the wars that he did not follow and called them for us and he said, O m...
