Transcripts

Part 18 After hiding inside the cave of Mount Thawr,

Muhammad (s), Abu Bakr, his servant Amir and the expert travel guide, Abdullah, began their

journey to Madinah during the night time.

At first they started their journey south.

Then they were moving west toward the Red sea.

Before reaching the Red sea, they started their journey to the north toward Medina.

After traveling a whole night and half of the next day, they all became very tired and

took a break.

Muhammad (s) rested next to a big rock where he decided to take a nap.

In the meantime, Abu Bakr (pbuh) collected some milk from a local man who was taking

care of his sheep.

After they were all done resting for a while, they drank fresh milk and started their journey

again.

On either on the second or third day they reached close to the town Qadid, which is

130 km for Makkah.

Since they were travelling for many days, they were all very thirsty and hungry from

their long journey.

On the way, they saw a woman and asked if she could give them anything to eat or drink.

She became very sorry and told them that she did not have any food for them.

At that moment, she only had a small goat with her, but it was so weak, it did not give

any milk.

The prophet asked permission from the women, to see if he could milk the goat and when

he did, as a miracle, that small weak goat started to give lots of milk.

The prophet filled a large bowl with milk.

At first he let the woman drink the milk.

After her, everyone else drank the milk and they became full.

When all the milk was finished, the prophet milked the goat again and left the bowl filled

with milk for the woman.

Afterwards when the woman’s husband returned home, he became very surprised to see the

bowl filled with milk.

When the husband heard all the descriptions from his wife, the man recognized that man

was Muhammad (s) who was a true prophet.

On the third day, something strange happened in Makkah.

The people heard an echoing sound in the middle of the streets.

The people could not figure out where the voice was coming from because, that voice

was coming from an Angel.

That angel was telling the people of Makkah the successful escape story of the prophet.

The voice of the Angel was also saying how the people of Makkah missed their big opportunity

and their luck.

When the prophet and his people left the town, Qadid, a man named Suraqa heard about them.

He made an evil plan to capture the prophet and Abu Bakr (pbuh) and take them back to

Makkah just so he could collect the big reward.

As a plan Suraqa took all of his weapons and his horse to catch them but suddenly he fell

to the ground.

He was very surprised and thought that maybe it was just bad luck.

But he still wanted to win those 100 camels as his reward.

He again sat on his horse and went after the prophet to catch him.

Just when he was very close to them, he heard the prophet reciting from the Quran as he

was walking without any worries.

The prophet didn’t even look back.

But Abu Bakr (pbuh) became very scared and looked back.

At that time suddenly, the horse’s legs sank into the sand and Suraqa fell into the

ground.

He tried very hard to pull the horse’s legs out of the sand.

When he did pull up the horse’s legs, dust started to rise from that hole, which looked

like smoke.

He immediately realized that something was wrong.

Finally, he realized that it was impossible to catch the prophet.

He gave up and wanted to help the prophet and his people by giving some food.

However, the prophet did not accept it and requested Suraqa not to tell the people about

their location.

Suraqa kept the prophet’s request and did not tell anyone about the prophet’s location.

Along the way the prophet met a group of 70 to 80 travelers and their leader was Burida.

After seeing the prophet they all accepted Islam and prayed their evening prayer together.

Burida and his group kept on going but later on he and his people moved to Medina after

the Battle of Uhud to join the other Muslims.

Later, as the prophet reached the town of Arj, the prophet met Abu Tamim along his journey.

He also became a Muslim.

When the Abu Tamim met the prophet, he noticed that one of their camels became very weak.

So Abu Tamim gave the prophet another camel, along with a servant named Mas’ood to help

the prophet reach Medina.

When the prophet reached the valley of Reem, he met Zubayr (pbuh) with some Muslims who

were returning from a business trip in Syria.

Zubayr was so happy see them, that he gave some white clothes to the prophet and Abu

Bakr (pbuh) as a gift.

Finally, after seven long days of their journey, on Monday 8th Rabiul Awal, or in the English

23rd of September, in the year of 622 AD, prophet Muhammad (s) reached the town of Qubaa,

which was the border town of Medina.

The Muslims from Medina and the surrounding areas were anxiously waiting for Muhammad

(s).

Every day, they went out in the open hilly area and waited for Muhammad (s) until noon-time.

When it was noon time, the sun was directly on top of them so they became very hot and

returned to their homes.

One day the people returned to their homes after waiting for a long time for the prophet.

A Jew went on top of a hill to a hill and suddenly from the distance he saw a small

group of people who were wearing white clothes , as they were coming to the direction of

Medina.

That Jewish man called out to the Muslims to tell them the good news.

All of the Muslims ran out from their homes to see the prophet from afar and while making

sounds to welcome the prophet.

The Muslims of Qubaa were also making the welcoming sound for the prophet.

So he stopped there in the town of Qubaa, and turned to the right which was the tribe

of Amr bin Auf.

Muhammad (s) became very happy to see the Muslims' reception.

Almost all of the people from Medina and Qubaa came to see him.

During the 14th year of prophet hood finally Muhammad (s) saw that Islam found it's first

safe place.

He stayed there for 4 days in the house of Kulthoom.

By that time Ali (pbuh) also came from Makkah to Qubaa and meet Muhammad (s).

In that time the prophet started the first mosque of Islam in Qubaa and prayed there

with the Muslims.

Today that Mosque called the 'Masjid Quba'a'.

On 5th day, which was Friday, many people came from Madina to welcome Muhammad (s) to

their own town Medina.

On the way it was the time to pray the Friday group prayer.

Muhammad (s) led the prayer with about a hundred of Muslims around him.

The place where the prophet led the jummah prayer was later made into a masjid called

' Masjid al jummah'.

After the Jummah prayer Muhammad (s) started his journey again so he could finally enter

the blessed city.

Before the city of Medina was called Yathrib.

However, after the prophet entered the city, the people started to call the city, 'Madina

tur Rasul' which meant, the city of the prophet.

So in short people called it Madina.

Happy crowds of men, women and children were waiting and welcome the last prophet Muhammad

(s).

As he made his entrance, they sang their beautiful welcoming song and even today, Muslims sing

the same song in the happy memory of that day.
