Secret Da'wah (1 Jan 610 Jahr – 1 Jan 613 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

- After the Prophet (pbuh) received his first revelation, he told his wife Khadija and later her cousin Waraqa bin Nawfal about the event.
- Khadija was the first to accept the message.
- For the first few years the Prophet (pbuh) preached the message in secret. Initially only a handful of Muslims accepted Islam, the main ones being Khadija, Zaid, ‘Ali and Abu Bakr, who in turn brought many people to Islam including, ‘Uthman, Zubair ibn Awwam, and Talha. Other early converts were Bilal, Abu ‘Ubaida, Abu Salamah.
- After verses from sura Mudaththir were revealed to him, the revelation came frequently and regularly.
- The main message at this point was to reject idols and believe in one God. For three years the Prophet (pbuh) taught and practised in secret.
- The first converts were those who were close to him in his household, such as Khadija, Zayd bin Harith and Ali ibn Abi Talib.
- After this Abu Bakr, the Prophet’s close friend, converted and many prominent companions became Muslim through him.
- The Prophet (pbuh) would meet and teach these new converts in secret from the revelations he was continuing to receive.
- Prayer was established morning and evening. They would pray and practise their faith in secret, often praying in the mountains.
- The Muslims prayed twice a day and would retreat to the mountains to do so.
- After there were more than 40 or so converts it could not be kept a secret any more.
- Then sura 26:214 was revealed to preach the message openly.

> And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred. (26:214)
