Kiran Musulunci ya kasance sananne tun ranar farko da Manzon Allah ﷺ ya karɓi saƙon. Mutanen Makka sun san tun farko cewa Muhammadu ﷺ yana kira zuwa sabon addini, kuma mutane da yawa sun karɓi Musulunci. Sun kuma san cewa Muhammadu ﷺ yana tara sahabbansa yana kula da su, kuma cewa Musulmai suna ɓoye kansu daga sauran mutanen Quraishawa yayin da suke haɗuwa tare suna koyon sabon addininsu.

The Islamic call was known from the first day the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) recieved the message. People in Makkah had known all along that Muhammad (pbuh) was calling for a new Deen, and that scores of people had embraced Islam. They also knew that Muhammad (pbuh) was gathering his companions and looking after them, and that the Muslims concealed themselves from the rest of the Quraysh while they grouped together and learned about their new Deen.

Mutanen Makka sun san da wannan sabon kira da waɗanda suka yi imani da shi, amma ba su taɓa sanin inda suke haduwa ba, ko kuma su waye su ba. Shi ya sa lokacin da Manzon Allah ﷺ ya bayyana sabon imaninsa, hakan bai zama abin mamaki ba. Abin da ya ba Makka mamaki shi ne bayyanar wannan sabuwar ƙungiyar Musulmi. Musulmi sun samu ƙarfi sosai lokacin da Hamza ɗan Abdul-Muɗɗalib ya karɓi Musulunci, sannan Umar ɗan Khaɗɗab ya biyo baya bayan kwana uku. Sa'an nan sai wahayin Allah (SWT) ya zo.

People in Makkah were aware of this new call and of those who believed in it, but they never knew where they met nor who they were. That is why when the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) proclaimed his new belief, it did not come as a surprise. What surprised Makkah was the emergence of this new group of Muslims. The Muslims had gained a great deal of strength when Hamzah ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib embraced Islam, followed by ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab three days later. Then came the revelation of Allah (swt),

To haka, ka bayyana a fili (Saƙon Allah) abin da aka umarce ka da shi, ka kuma juya baya ga "Al-Mushrikun". Lalle ne, Mu ne za mu isar maka a kan masu izgili. Waɗanda suka sanya wani abin bautawa tare da Allah, za su sani.” [Al-Hijr, 15: 94-96].

“Therefore, proclaim openly (Allah’s Message), that which you are commanded, and turn away from “Al-Mushrikun”: Truly! We will suffice you against the scoffers. Who set up along with Allah another god, they will come to know” [Al-Hijr, 15: 94-96].

Manzon Allah ﷺ ya bi umarnin Allah da biyayya, ya nuna ƙungiyarsa ga dukan mutanen Makka. Ya fita tare da Sahabbansa a layi biyu, ɗaya Umar ne ke jagoranta ɗayan kuwa Hamzah. Sahabbai suka yi tafiya ta yadda Quraishawa ba su taɓa ganin irinsa ba. Sannan ya yi tawaf da su a kewayen Ka'aba ﷺ.

Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) duly obeyed Allah’s command and presented his group to all of Makkah. He (pbuh) went out with his Sahabah in two lines, one led by ‘Umar and the other by Hamzah. The Sahabah walked in a manner that the Quraysh had never witnessed before. He (pbuh) then circumambulated the Ka’bah with them.

Wannan shi ne matakin da Manzon Allah ﷺ ya matsa tare da Sahabbansa daga mataki na ɓoye zuwa mataki na bayyana, daga kira da gayyata da yin magana da waɗanda ya ji cewa sun shirya amsa kiransa, zuwa yin magana da dukkan mutane. Sai da'awa ta ɗauki sabon salo, rikici tsakanin Imani da Kafirci a cikin al'umma ya fara, mu'amala tsakanin ra'ayoyi masu gaskiya da ra'ayoyi marasa kyau ta fara, don haka ya fara mataki na biyu na da'awa, wato matakin mu'amala da gwagwarmaya.

This is the stage when Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) moved with his Sahabah from the secret phase to the open one, from calling and addressing and inviting those whom he felt were ready to answer his call, to addressing all people. The Da’wah then took a new turn, the clash between Iman and Kufr in society began, the interaction between the right concepts and the rotten ones began, setting off therefore the second phase of the Da’wah, i.e. the phase of interaction and struggle.

Kafirai sun fara adawa da yaƙar da'awa, suna cutar da raunata Manzon Allah ﷺ da sahabbansa ta kowace hanya. Wannan lokaci yana cikin mafi tsanani. An jefi gidan Manzon Allah ﷺ da duwatsu, kuma Umm Jamil, matar Abu Lahab, tana jefa datti a wajen gidansa. Shi ﷺ kuwa yana jurewa ko kuma yana share su. Abu Jahl ya taba jefa mahaifar akuya, wadda aka yanka a matsayin hadaya ga gumaka, a kan Manzon Allah ﷺ. Shi ﷺ ya jure duk wannan, kuma yakan je gidan 'yarsa Fatimah domin ta tsaftace shi. Wannan kawai ya kara karfafa azamar Manzon Allah ﷺ da kuma kara masa himma ga kiran Musulunci.

The disbelievers began resisting and fighting the Da’wah, inflicting in the process all kinds of harm and injury on the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and his Sahabah. This phase was one of the most severest. The house of Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) was stoned and Umm Jamil, wife of Abu Lahab, used to throw impurities outside his home. He (pbuh) just ignored or removed them. Abu Jahl once threw a goat’s uterus, slaughtered as a sacrifice to the idols, at Allah’s Messenger (pbuh). He (pbuh) bore it all, and would go to his daughter Fatimah’s house so that she could clean him up. This only strengthened Allah’s Messenger’s (pbuh) resolve and made him more eager towards the Islamic call.

Musulmi sun fuskanci barazana da cutarwa. Kowace kabila ta ɗauki kanta da alhakin azabtar da tsananta wa 'yan kabilarta Musulmi. A wani lamari, wani mutum ya bar bawansa Bilal a kan yashi mai zafi, ya kuma ajiye dutse mai nauyi a kan ƙirjinsa, kawai saboda ya nace a kan Musulunci. Bilal ya furta da ƙarfin hali kalmomin "Ahad! Ahad!" (Shi Ɗaya ne, Shi Ɗaya ne), ya kuma jure dukan wannan wahala saboda Ubangijinsa. Wata mace ta mutu bayan an yi mata azaba, kawai saboda ba ta so ta yi watsi da sabon imaninta ta koma addinin kakanninta.

The Muslims were threatened and hurt, every tribe took it upon itself to torture and persecute its Muslim tribesmen. In one incident, one person left his slave Bilal on the burning sand and placed a heavy rock upon his chest simply because he insisted on Islam. Bilal defiantly uttered the words ‘Ahad! ‘Ahad! (the One, the One) and endured all this suffering for the sake of his Lord. One woman died after being subjected to torture, simply because she would not renounce her new belief and return to the faith of her forefathers.

Musulmi sun jure wahala, azabtarwa, wulakanci da hana su abubuwa, da manufa guda ɗaya kacal a zuciyarsu: neman yardar Allah (SWT).

The Muslims endured the suffering, torture, humiliation and deprivation with only one aim in mind, seeking to please Allah (swt).
