Q         Describe the events of the Prophet’s visit to Taif.      [10-Nov 14-2058/11]
                                                           
Preaching in Taif
621AD was the time when the uncle of the Priophet (sw), Abu Talib and his wife Khadija (ra) had passed away. He had lost his support in Makkah because the new chief of Banu Hashim was Abu Lahab who was deadly against Islam. The persecution against Muslims became so intense that the Prophet (saw) decided to go to the town of Taif, seventy five miles from Makkah. His purpose was to convince the people of Taif. If they accepted Islam, the Prophet (saw) could move along with his companions. His slave Zaid Bin Harith was with him.

The people of Taif who used to worship the idol Laat, rejected his message with harshness and expelled them from the city. The city of Taif was dominated by three brothers who not only expelled them with insult but they also asked the boys of the city and asked them to chase and pelt stones on both of them. When he was leaving the city, boys of the city started pelting stones on them. Both of them were badly injured. The Prophet’s shoes were full of blood. In this condition, they started running. When they were quite away from the city, the boys went back.

 Both of them stayed in a garden which belonged to a Christian. He offered them water and grapes. Having taken some rest, they started their journey to Makkah. The slave asked the Prophet (saw) to curse these people. An angel also came to the Prophet (sw) and said that he had permission from Allah that he had the authority to destyry the city by crashing mountains. The prophet (sw) answered that he has come to humanity as a blessing and not as a curse. He also said that it could be possible that one day, the coming generations of this city would accept Islam. He was right. In 628 AD, Taif was conquered and all of them became Muslim.

      السلام علیکم
      A question has two parts
      Explain some event (10)
      Write its significance(4)
      However, the pattern might be different at the institution where you study or at your level.

    I am afraid that the information posted contradicts authentic sources: Zaid was not a slave anymore but his adopted son. Moreover, the garden belonged to Utba bin Rabiyah and Shayba bin Rabiah.

    Here is some extra information I found:

    The chieftains of Thaqif were `Abd Yalil,Mas`ud and Habib, sons of `Amr bin `Umair. Also, the Christian servant was Addas and he had converted to Islam after being impressed by Prophet SAW saying Bismillah before eating the grapes.

Soon, he started receiving more revelations. For the first three years he preached those who were close to him. Khadija (ra), ten blessed companions and some other companions became Muslim during this time. After three years, he was commanded to preach openly. The pagans of Makkah opposed him.

Early life of Prophet (sw) until first revelation

Life in Makkah-570-622 AD - his early life Q         Write about the life of the Prophet (saw) up until the first Revelation. [10-J-10] Q         Give an account of the Prophet’s life up to the time the revelations began. [10-Nov 14-2058/11] Mohammad (saw) was born in 571 AD in Makkah in the family of Banu Hashim of the tribe of Quresh. This year was also known as the year of elephants because in this year the king of Yemen, Abraha, attacked Makkah with the intention to destroy the holy Kaaba along with an army of elephants. He failed because Allah sent small birds with stones in their feet and beaks which destroyed the army. It was a very historic event in the history of Arabs. Quran reminds this event in Sura Al Feel (elephants). His father’s name was Abdullah and his mother was Amina. His grand-father was Abdul Muttalib who was a highly respected person of makkah. He had ten sons. Abdullah was the youngest son and a very handsome man. He married to Amina who was
