Baada ya uamuzi mbaya kufanywa, Gabriel alitumwa kumshukia Muhammad ﷺ ili kumfunulia njama za Quraish na kumpa idhini ya Mola wake ya kuondoka Makkah. Alimwekea wakati wa kuhama na kumwomba asilale usiku ule kitandani mwake wa kawaida. Saa sita mchana, Mtume ﷺ alimwendea Sahaba wake Abu Bakr na kupanga naye kila kitu kwa ajili ya kuhama kulikokusudiwa. Abu Bakr alishangaa kumwona Mtume ﷺ, akiwa amejifunika uso, akimjia nyumbani kwake wakati huo usio wa kawaida, lakini punde alijifunza kwamba Amri ya Allah imefika, akapendekeza wahame pamoja, na Mtume ﷺ akakubali. Ili kufanya maandalizi yanayohitajika kwa ajili ya kutekeleza mpango wao wa kishetani, wakuu wa Makkah walikuwa wamewachagua watu kumi na mmoja: Abu Jahl, Hakam bin Abil Al-‘As, ‘Uqbah bin Abi Mu‘ait, An-Nadr bin Harith, Omaiyah bin Khalaf, Zama‘a bin Al-Aswad, Tu‘aima bin ‘Adi, Abu Lahab, Ubai bin Khalaf, Nabih bin Al-Hajjaj na ndugu yake Munbih bin Al-Hajjaj. Wote walikuwa macho. Usiku ulipozidi, waliweka wauaji kuzunguka nyumba ya Mtume ﷺ. Hivyo walikesha usiku wote, wakingoja kumwua mara atakapotoka nyumbani asubuhi na mapema, wakichungulia mara kwa mara kupitia tundu la mlango ili kuhakikisha kwamba bado amelala kitandani mwake. Abu Jahl, adui mkubwa wa Uislamu, alikuwa akitembea kwa kiburi na majivuno, akidhihaki maneno ya Muhammad ﷺ, akiwaambia watu waliokuwa karibu naye: "Muhammad anadai kwamba mkimfuata, atawafanya kuwa watawala wa Waarabu na wasio Waarabu, na katika Akhera thawabu yenu itakuwa Mabustani kama yale ya Yordani; vinginevyo, atawachinja, na baada ya kufa mtateketezwa kwa moto." Alikuwa na imani kubwa mno juu ya mafanikio ya mpango wake wa kishetani. Lakini Allah, Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Ambaye mikononi mwake mna ufalme wa mbingu na ardhi, hufanya apendavyo; Yeye huleta msaada na hawezi kushindwa kamwe. Alifanya kama alivyosema baadaye kwa Mtume wake: [ukweli huu wa Qur'an unahusu kitendo chake kilichofuata].

When the iniquitous decision had been made, Gabriel was sent down to Muhammad (Peace be upon him) to reveal to him Quraish’s plot and give him his Lord’s Permission to leave Makkah. He fixed to him the time of migration and asked him not to sleep that night in his usual bed. At noon, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) went to see his Companion Abu Bakr and arranged with him everything for the intended migration. Abu Bakr was surprised to see the Prophet (Peace be upon him) masked coming to visit him at that unusual time, but he soon learned that Allâh’s Command had arrived, and he proposed that they should migrate together, to which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) gave his consent. To make the necessary preparations for the implementation of their devilish plan, the chiefs of Makkah had chosen eleven men: Abu Jahl, Hakam bin Abil Al-‘As, ‘Uqbah bin Abi Mu‘ait, An-Nadr bin Harith, Omaiyah bin Khalaf, Zama‘a bin Al-Aswad, Tu‘aima bin ‘Adi, Abu Lahab, Ubai bin Khalaf, Nabih bin Al-Hajjaj and his brother Munbih bin Al-Hajjaj. All were on the alert. As night advanced, they posted assassins around the Prophet’s house. Thus they kept vigil all night long, waiting to kill him the moment he left his house early in the morning, peeping now and then through a hole in the door to make sure that he was still lying in his bed. Abu Jahl, the great enemy of Islam, used to walk about haughtily and arrogantly jeering at Muhammad’s words, saying to the people around him: “Muhammad claims that if you follow him, he will appoint you rulers over the Arabs and non-Arabs and in the Hereafter your reward will be Gardens similar to those in Jordan, otherwise, he will slaughter you and after death you will be burnt in fire.” He was too confident of the success of his devilish plan. Allâh, the All-Mighty, however, in Whose Hands lie the sovereignty of the heavens and earth, does what He desires; He renders succour and can never be overpowered. He did exactly what He later said to His Prophet:

• "Na (kumbukeni) wakati makafiri walipokupangia njama [Ewe Muhammad ﷺ] ili wakufunge, au wakuue, au wakutoe (kutoka nyumbani kwako, yaani Makka); walikuwa wakipanga njama, na Allah naye alikuwa akipanga, na Allah ndiye Mbora wa wanaopanga."

• “And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you [O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)] to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out (from your home, i.e. Makkah); they were plotting and Allâh too was planning, and Allâh is the Best of the planners.” [8:30].

Katika wakati huo mgumu, mipango ya Quraish ilishindwa kabisa licha ya kuzingira kwao nyumba ya Mtume kwa ukali; Mtume ﷺ na 'Ali walikuwa ndani ya nyumba. Mtume ﷺ alimwambia 'Ali alale kitandani mwake na ajifunike kwa vazi lake la kijani, na akamhakikishia usalama kamili chini ya ulinzi wa Allah, akimwambia kwamba hakuna madhara yatakayompata. Kisha Mtume ﷺ alitoka chumbani, akawarushia wauaji kiganja cha mchanga, na akafanikiwa kupita kati yao huku akisoma aya za Qur'ani Tukufu: {وَجَعَلْنَا مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ}

At that critical time the plans of Quraish utterly failed despite the tight siege they laid to the Prophet’s house, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and ‘Ali were inside the house. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) told ‘Ali to sleep in his bed and cover himself with his green mantle and assured him full security under Allâh’s protection and told him that no harm would come to him. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) then came out of the room and cast a handful of dust at the assassins and managed to work his way through them reciting verses of the Noble Qur’ân:

"Na Sisi tumeweka kizuizi mbele yao, na kizuizi nyuma yao, na Tumewafunika, hivyo basi hawawezi kuona." [36:9].

•“And We have put a barrier before them, and a barrier behind them, and We have covered them up, so that they cannot see.” [36:9].

Alimwendea moja kwa moja hadi nyumbani kwa Abu Bakr, ambaye mara moja alimfuata, nao wawili wakaanza safari kuelekea kusini, wakapanda juu ya kilele kirefu cha Mlima Thawr, wakaamua kujificha katika pango. Wauaji waliozingira nyumba walikuwa wakisubiri saa ya kutekeleza mpango, hadi mtu mmoja alipokuja na kuwaarifu kwamba Mtume ﷺ alikuwa tayari ameondoka. Waliingia kwa kasi, na kwa mshangao mkubwa walikuta kwamba aliyelala kitandani mwa Mtume ﷺ alikuwa 'Ali, si Muhammad ﷺ. Jambo hili lilisababisha msisimko katika mji mzima. Mtume ﷺ alikuwa ameondoka nyumbani kwake tarehe 27 ya mwezi wa Safar, mwaka wa kumi na nne wa Utume, yaani tarehe 12/13 Septemba 622 B.K.

He proceeded direct to the house of Abu Bakr who, immediately accompanied him and both set out southwards, clambered up the lofty peak of Mountain Thawr, and decided to take refuge in a cave. The assassins who laid siege to the house were waiting for the zero hour when someone came and informed them that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) had already left. They rushed in and to their utter surprise, found that the person lying in the Prophet’s bed was ‘Ali not Muhammad (Peace be upon him). This created a stir in the whole town. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) had thus left his house on Safar 27th, the fourteenth year of Prophethood, i.e. 12/13 September 622 A.D.

Akijua tayari kwamba Quraish wangetumia nguvu zao zote kumtafuta, alimfanyia hila yenye akili: badala ya kuchukua njia ya kuelekea Madinah upande wa kaskazini wa Makka kama washirikina wangetarajia, alitembea kwenye njia isiyotarajiwa sana iliyo kusini mwa Makka na inayoelekea Yemen. Alitembea kwa maili 5 hadi alipofika kwenye mlima mkavu wenye miamba mikali uitwao Thawr. Huko viatu vyake vilichakaa; wengine walisema alikuwa akitembea kwa vidole vya miguu ili asiache alama nyuma yake. Abu Bakr (Mwenyezi Mungu amridhie) alimbeba juu ya mlima hadi kwenye pango lililoitwa kwa jina la mlima huo, Pango la Thawr. Abu Bakr kwanza aliingia ndani ili kuchunguza pango na kuhakikisha kuwa ni salama, akaziziba tundu zote kwa vipande alivyochana kutoka kwenye nguo zake, akalisafisha, kisha akamwomba Mtume ﷺ aingie. Mtume ﷺ aliingia na mara moja akaweka kichwa chake kwenye paja la Abu Bakr akalala usingizi. Ghafla mguu wa Abu Bakr uliumwa na mdudu mwenye sumu. Ulimuuma sana hadi machozi yake yakadondoka usoni mwa Mtume ﷺ. Mtume ﷺ mara moja alipaka mate yake kwenye mguu wa Abu Bakr, na maumivu yakaondoka papo hapo. Walijifungia katika pango hili kwa usiku tatu: Ijumaa, Jumamosi na Jumapili. ‘Abdullah, mwana wa Abu Bakr, alikuwa akiwaendea baada ya kuingia giza, analala huko usiku, anawajulisha hali ya hivi karibuni huko Makka, kisha anaondoka alfajiri mapema ili kuchanganyika na watu wa Makka kama kawaida na asivutie hata kidogo umakini kwa shughuli zake za siri. ‘Amir bin Fuhairah, akiwa pamoja na wachungaji wengine wa Makka wakichunga kundi la mnyama wa bwana wake Abu Bakr, alikuwa akiteleza bila kuonekana kila jioni na mbuzi wachache kuelekea pangoni, na kuwapa wakaaji wake maziwa mengi.

Knowing already that Quraish would mobilize all its potentials to find him, he played a clever trick on them and instead of taking the road to Madinah in north side of Makkah as the polythiest would expect, he walked along a road least expected lying south of Makkah and leading to Yemen. He walked for 5 miles until he reached a rough rocky mountain called Thawr. There his shoes were worn out, some said he used to walk tiptoe in order not to leave a trail behind him. Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) carried him up the mountain to a cave called after the name of the mountain, Cave Thawr. Abu Bakr first entered to explore the cave and be sure that it was safe, closed all holes with pieces torn off from his clothes, cleaned it and then asked the Prophet (Peace be upon him) to step in. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) went in and immediately laid his head in Abu Bakr’s lap and fell asleep. Suddenly Abu Bakr’s foot was stung by a poisonous insect. It hurt so much that his tears fell on the Prophet’s face. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) immediately applied his saliva on Abu Bakr’s foot and the pain went off on the spot. They confined themselves to this cave for three nights, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. ‘Abdullah, the son of Abu Bakr would go to see them after dusk, stay the night there, apprise them of the latest situation in Makkah, and then leave in the early morning to mix with the Makkans as usual and not to draw the least attention to his clandestine activities. ‘Amir bin Fuhairah, while in the company of other shepherds of Makkah tending his master Abu Bakr’s flock, used to stole away unobserved every evening with a few goats to the cave and furnished its inmates with a plentiful supply of milk.

Quraish, kwa upande wao, walichanganyikiwa sana na kukasirika walipothibitishiwa habari za kutoroka kwa masahaba hao wawili. Walimleta ‘Ali Al-Ka‘bah, wakampiga kikatili na kumfungia humo kwa saa moja, wakijaribu kwa bidii kumfanya afichue siri ya kutoweka kwa hao wawili “wakimbizi”, lakini juhudi zao hazikuzaa matunda. Kisha walienda kumtembelea Asma’, binti yake Abu Bakr, lakini hapa pia majaribio yao hayakufanikiwa. Alipokuwa mlangoni kwake, Abu Jahl alimpiga yule msichana kofi kali sana hadi hereni yake ikavunjika.

Quraish, on the other hand, were quite baffled and exasperated when the news of the escape of the two companions was confirmed. They brought ‘Ali to Al-Ka‘bah, beat him brutally and confined him there for an hour attempting desperately to make him divulge the secret of the disappearance of the two ‘fugitives’, but to no avail. They then went to see Asma’, Abu Bakr’s daughter, but here also their attempts went in vain. While at her door Abu Jahl slapped the girl so severely that her earring broke up.

Viongozi wa Makka walikutana kwa dharura ili kuamua mwelekeo wa baadaye na kuchunguza kila njia inayoweza kusaidia kuwakamata wanaume wawili hao. Waliamua kuziziba njia zote zinazotoka Makka, wakaweka ulinzi mkali wenye silaha juu ya kila njia ya kutoka inayowezekana. Zawadi ya ngamia mia moja iliwekwa kwa kichwa cha kila mmoja wao. Wapanda farasi, watembea kwa miguu na wafuatiliaji wa nyayo walizunguka nchi nzima. Mara moja walifika hata mdomo wa pango ambamo Mtume ﷺ na Abu Bakr walikuwa wamejificha. Abu Bakr alipoona adui katika umbali wa karibu sana, alimnong'oneza Mtume ﷺ: "Vipi, kama wangetazama kupitia nyufa na kutugundua?" Mtume ﷺ, kwa utulivu aliotiwa na Mungu, alijibu: "Kimya, Abu Bakr! Unawaza nini kuhusu hao wawili ambao wa tatu wao ni Allâh?" Ilikuwa kweli muujiza wa Kimungu, wafuatiliaji walikuwa umbali wa hatua chache tu kutoka pangoni.

The notables of Makkah convened an emergency session to determine the future course of action and explore all areas that could help arrest the two men. They decided to block all avenues leading out of Makkah and imposed heavy armed surveillance over all potential exits. A price of 100 camels was set upon the head of each one. Horsemen, infantry and tracers of tracks scoured the country. Once they even reached the mouth of the cave where the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr were hiding. When he saw the enemy at a very close distance, Abu Bakr whispered to the Prophet (Peace be upon him): “What, if they were to look through the crevice and detect us?” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) in his God-inspired calm replied; • “Silence Abu Bakr! What do you think of those two with whom the Third is Allâh.” It was really a Divine miracle, the chasers were only a few steps from the cave.

Kwa siku tatu Muhammad ﷺ na Abu Bakr waliishi pangoni, na Quraish waliendelea kufanya juhudi kubwa za kuwakamata. Mtu aliyeitwa ‘Abdullah bin Uraiquit, ambaye bado hakuwa amesilimu lakini alikuwa anaaminiwa na Abu Bakr, na aliyekuwa ameajiriwa naye kama mwongozaji, alifika pangoni baada ya usiku tatu kulingana na mpango, akiwa amebeba ngamia wawili wa Abu Bakr. Taarifa yake iliwaridhisha hao “wakimbizi” watukufu kwamba msako umepungua. Wakati wa kuondoka ulikuwa umefika. Hapa Abu Bakr alimpa Mtume ﷺ mnyama mwepesi wa kupanda. Mtume ﷺ alikubali kwa sharti kwamba atamlipa bei yake. Walichukua pamoja nao chakula ambacho Asma’, binti wa Abu Bakr, alikileta na kukifunga katika mfuko wa kiunoni wake, baada ya kulichana sehemu mbili; ndiyo sababu akapewa jina la “Asma’ wa mikanda miwili.” Mtume ﷺ, Abu Bakr na ‘Amir bin Fuhairah waliondoka, na mwongozaji wao ‘Abdullah bin Uraiquit aliwaongoza kwenye njia ambazo karibu hazikanyagwi kamwe, kando ya pwani. Hilo lilikuwa mwezi wa Rabi‘ Al-Awwal, mwaka wa kwanza wa Hijra, yaani Septemba 622 B.K. Msafara huo mdogo ulipitia vijiji vingi njiani kuelekea Quba’. Katika muktadha huu, ni muhimu kutaja matukio ya kuvutia yaliyojitokeza katika safari yao yenye uchovu:

3. Quraish, kama tulivyokwisha taja, walikuwa wametangaza kwamba yeyote atakayemkamata Muhammad ﷺ atapewa ngamia mia moja kama zawadi. Jambo hili liliwachochea watu wengi kujaribu bahati yao. Miongoni mwa waliokuwa wakimvizia Mtume ﷺ na mwenzake ili kushinda zawadi hiyo alikuwa Suraqah, mwana wa Malik. Alipopata habari kwamba kundi la watu wanne walionekana kwenye njia fulani, aliamua kuwafuatilia kwa siri ili yeye peke yake awe mshindi wa zawadi hiyo. Alipanda farasi mwepesi na kuwafuatia kwa kasi kubwa. Njiani farasi wake alijikwaa, naye akaanguka chini. Alipopiga kura ili kubashiri kama aendelee na msako au la, kama Waarabu walivyokuwa wakifanya katika hali kama hiyo, aliona ishara si nzuri. Lakini tamaa ya mali ilimpofusha kabisa, akaendelea na msako. Mara nyingine tena alikutana na hali ile ile, lakini hakujali. Tena alirukia kwenye tandiko na kukimbiza farasi kwa kasi kubwa hadi akakaribia sana Mtume ﷺ. Moyo wa Abu Bakr ukasikitika, akaendelea kugeuka kumtazama nyuma, huku Mtume ﷺ akibaki imara na akaendelea kusoma aya za Qur’ân.

3. Quraish, as we have already mentioned, had declared that whoever would seize Muhammad (Peace be upon him) would receive a hundred camels as reward. This had spurred many persons to try their luck. Among those who were on the lookout for the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and his companion in order to win the reward was Suraqah, the son of Malik. He, on receiving information that a party of four, had been spotted on a certain route, decided to pursue it secretly so that he alone should be the winner of the reward. He mounted a swift horse and went in hot pursuit of them. On the way the horse stumbled and he fell on the ground. On drawing a lot so as to divine whether he should continue the chase or not, as the Arabs used to do in such circumstances, he found the omens unpropitious. But the lust for material wealth blinded him altogether and he resumed the chase. Once more he met with the same fate but paid no heed to it. Again he jumped onto the saddle and galloped at a break-neck speed till he came quite close to the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Abu Bakr’s heart agitated and he kept looking back while the Prophet (Peace be upon him) remained steadfast and continued reciting verses of the Qur’ân.

• Kujikwaa mara kwa mara kwa farasi wa Suraqah na kuanguka kwake kulimwamsha kutoka katika hali aliyokuwamo, na akatambua kuwa hilo lilikuwa onyo la mara kwa mara kutoka kwa Allah kwa nia yake mbaya aliyokuwa ameipanga dhidi ya Mtume ﷺ. Alikikaribia kikundi kilichokuwa kinasafiri akiwa na moyo wa toba, na akamwomba Mtume ﷺ msamaha kwa unyenyekevu mkubwa. Alimwambia Mtume ﷺ na mwenzake: “Watu wako (Maquraishi) wameahidi zawadi kubwa kwa yeyote atakayewakamata ninyi.” Aliongeza kuwa aliwapa chakula lakini wao walikataa toleo lake. Waliomba tu azuie watu wasiwaone wakiondoka na awapotoshe wapagani kuhusu mahali walipojificha. Kisha Mtume ﷺ alimsamehe na kulithibitisha hilo kwa hati iliyoandikwa na ‘Aamir bin Fuhairah kwenye kipande cha ngozi. Suraqah alirudi haraka Makkah na kujaribu kuvuruga juhudi za wale waliokuwa wakimfuatilia Muhammad ﷺ na masahaba wake watukufu. Adui yake mkubwa aligeuka kuwa muumini mwaminifu.

Jumatatu, tarehe 8 ya Rabi‘ Al-Awwal, mwaka wa kumi na nne wa Utume, yaani tarehe 23 Septemba 622, Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alifika Quba’.

On Monday, 8th Rabi‘ Al-Awwal, the fourteenth year of Prophethood, i.e. September 23rd. 622, the Messenger of Allâh arrived at Quba’.

Habari za kuwasili kwa Muhammad ﷺ zilipoanza kuenea, umati wa watu ulimiminika kutoka Madinah. Walikuwa wakija kila asubuhi na kusubiri kwa hamu kuonekana kwake, mpaka joto kali la jua la mchana liwalazimishe kurudi. Siku moja walikwenda kama kawaida, na baada ya kusubiri na kutazama kwa muda mrefu, walirudi mjini. Ndipo Myahudi mmoja, alipoona kwa mbali wasafiri watatu wamevaa nguo nyeupe wakielekea Madinah, alipiga kelele kutoka juu ya kilima: "Enyi watu wa Arabia! Babu yenu amefika! Yule ambaye mlikuwa mkimsubiri kwa hamu, amefika!" Waislamu mara moja walikimbia wakiwa wameshika silaha zao (kumlinda). Habari hizo za furaha zilienea haraka mjini kote, na watu wakasonga mbele kumlaki mgeni wao mtukufu.

As soon as the news of Muhammad’s arrival began to spread, crowds came flocking out of Madinah . They would come every morning and wait eagerly for his appearance until forced by the unbearable heat of the midday sun to return. One day they had gone as usual, and after a long wait and watch they retired to the city when a Jew, catching a glimpse of three travellers clad in white winding their way to Madinah , shouted from the top of a hillock: “O you people of Arabia! Your grandfather has come! He, whom you have been eagerly waiting for, has come!” The Muslims immediately rushed holding their weapons, (to defend him). The joyful news soon spread through the city and people marched forward to greet their noble guest.

Ibn Al-Qayyim alisema: “Kelele za ‘Allahu Akbar’ (Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mkuu) zilisikika katika kabila la Banu ‘Amr bin ‘Auf. Furaha ya Muhammad ﷺ iliongezeka vilevile, lakini kwa busara ya kipekee ya wakati na adabu, aliamuru kusimama. Utulivu ulimfunika, na wahyi ukateremshwa:

Ibn Al-Qayyim said: “The shouts of ‘Allâhu Akbar’ (Allâh is Great) resounded in Banu ‘Amr bin ‘Auf. Muhammad’s (Peace be upon him) elation correspondingly increased, but with rare sense of timing and propriety, called a halt. Serenity enveloped him and the ٌevelation was sent down:

• “... basi hakika Allah ndiye Mola wake (Bwana, Mtawala au Mlinzi), na Jibril, na Waumini wema, na zaidi ya hayo, Malaika ni wasaidizi wake.” [66:4]. Note: the rules call for the angel's name as the original uses it, "Gabriel", so the correct rendering is below. • “... basi hakika Allah ndiye Mola wake (Bwana, Mtawala au Mlinzi), na Gabriel, na Waumini wema, na zaidi ya hayo, Malaika ni wasaidizi wake.” [].

Kipindi cha Madina kinaweza kugawanywa katika awamu tatu:

The Madinese era could be divided into three phases:

1. Awamu ya kwanza ilikuwa na matatizo na mifarakano mingi sana, na vikwazo vingi vya ndani, pamoja na wimbi la uadui kutoka nje lililolenga kuangamiza kabisa imani iliyokuwa ikiinuka. Awamu hiyo iliisha kwa Mkataba wa Amani wa Al-Hudaibiyah katika mwezi wa Dhul Qa‘da mwaka wa 6 Hijria.

1. The first phase was characterized by too much trouble and discord, and too many obstacles from within coupled by a hostile wave from without aiming at total extermination of the rising faith. It ended with Al-Hudaibiyah Peace Treaty in Dhul Qa‘da 6 A.H.

2. Awamu ya pili ilihusisha mapatano ya kusitisha mapigano na viongozi wa kipagani, na ilimalizika kwa ushindi wa Makka katika mwezi wa Ramadhani mwaka wa 8 Hijria. Pia ilishuhudia Mtume ﷺ akiwaalika wafalme walio nje ya Arabia waingie katika Uislamu.

2. The second phase featured a truce with the pagan leadership and ended in the conquest of Makkah in Ramadan 8 A.H. It also witnessed the Prophet (Peace be upon him) inviting kings beyond Arabia to enter the fold of Islam.

3. Katika awamu ya tatu, watu walikuja kuukubali Uislamu kwa makundi makubwa. Makabila na watu wengine walifika Madinah kula kiapo cha utii kwa Mtume ﷺ. Awamu hii iliishia kwa kifo cha Mtume ﷺ mwezi wa Rabi‘ Al-Awwal, mwaka wa 11 Hijria.

3. In the third phase, people came to embrace Islam in hosts. Tribes and other folks arrived in Madinah to pay homage to the Prophet (Peace be upon him). It ended at the death of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) in Rabi‘ Al-Awwal 11 A.H.
