当安拉的使者被派遣时，他首先邀请了他的妻子海蒂彦，她信仰了他。然后他邀请了他的堂弟阿里，阿里也信仰了他。接着他邀请了他的仆人宰德，宰德也信仰了他。随后他邀请了他的朋友艾布·伯克尔，艾布·伯克尔也信仰了他。他继续邀请人们皈依伊斯兰，有人信仰，也有人拒绝。

When the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was sent, he first invited his wife Khadijah and she believed in him. He (pbuh) then invited his cousin ‘Ali and he believed in him. He then invited his servant Zayd, and he believed in him. And then he invited his friend Abu Bakr, who also believed in him. He continued to invite people to Islam, some believed and others rejected.

当艾卜·伯克尔皈依伊斯兰教后,他又把自己的信仰传给了他所信任的人,并号召他们信仰安拉(swt)和祂的使者(pbuh)。艾卜·伯克尔在他的族人中享有崇高的声望,人们喜欢与他相处,并且在许多事情上总是向他征求意见。他利用自己的影响力,说服奥斯曼·伊本·阿凡、祖拜尔·伊本·阿瓦姆、阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼·伊本·奥夫、萨德·伊本·艾卜·瓦嘎斯和泰勒哈·伊本·欧拜杜拉皈依伊斯兰教。他把他们带到安拉的使者ﷺ面前,他们都确认了自己的信仰并礼了拜。随后,阿米尔·伊本·哲拉赫(即艾卜·欧拜darah)皈依了伊斯兰教,阿卜杜拉·伊本·阿卜杜·阿萨德(即艾卜·萨拉玛)以及阿尔卡姆·伊本·艾卜·阿尔卡姆、奥斯曼·伊本·马兹欧尔等人也都皈依了。此后,成群的人皈依了伊斯兰教,以至于它成了古莱氏人议论的话题。

When Abu Bakr embraced Islam, he in turn carried his belief to the people whom he trusted and called towards Allah (swt) and His Messenger (pbuh). Abu Bakr was held in high esteem among his people, they enjoyed his company and always consulted him on many issues. He used his influence to persuade ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan, together with Zubayr ibn al-’Awwam, ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Auf, Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas and Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydullah to embrace Islam. He brought them to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) where they all confirmed their belief and offered prayer. Then, ‘Amir ibn al-Jarrah (known as Abu Ubaydah) embraced Islam, and so did ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abd al-Asad (known as Abu Salamah) as well as al-Arqam ibn Abi al-Arqam, ‘Uthman ibn Maz’un and others. Scores of people subsequently embraced Islam, until it became the topic of discussion amongst the people of Quraysh.

起初，安拉的使者ﷺ会到人们家中拜访，告诉他们安拉（SWT）命令他们崇拜祂，不以任何事物与祂并列。他ﷺ在麦加公开地邀请人们信奉伊斯兰教，从而遵循了安拉的命令，

In the beginning, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would visit people in their homes, telling them that they had been commanded by Allah (swt) to worship Him and to associate none with Him. He (pbuh) openly invited people to Islam in Makkah, thus abiding by Allah’s command,

“{哦，披着衣服的人！起来警告！}”[《穆达西尔》，74:1-2]。

“O you enveloped (in garments)! Arise and warn!” [Al-Muddaththir, 74:1-2].

此后，安拉的使者ﷺ会秘密地与人们接触，教导他们伊斯兰教，并以宗教为基础将他们聚集起来。

After this, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would contact people secretly to teach them Islam and gather them on the basis of the Deen.

教友们过去常在麦加郊外的山丘上礼拜，远离古莱什人。每当有人皈依伊斯兰教，安拉的使者ﷺ便会派一位先前已皈依的人去教他或她诵读《古兰经》。他ﷺ派哈巴卜·伊本·安拉特去教法蒂玛·宾特·黑塔卜和她的丈夫赛义德诵读《古兰经》。欧麦尔·伊本·黑塔卜有一次突然造访他们，当时他们正围坐在一起诵经，他便当场皈依了伊斯兰教。然而，安拉的使者ﷺ意识到这还不够，于是将艾尔卡姆·伊本·艾卜·艾尔卡姆的家设为他传播召唤的中心，在这里他教穆斯林诵读《古兰经》，完善他们的伊斯兰知识，并鼓励他们诵读并理解《古兰经》。每当有人皈依伊斯兰教，安拉的使者ﷺ都会在艾尔卡姆的家中与他会面。他ﷺ坚持这项工作长达三年，教导这群穆斯林，带领他们礼拜，并在夜间礼拜塔海哲德，通过礼拜和诵读激励他们的心灵，坚定他们的信仰，帮助他们提升思维方式，并让他们思考《古兰经》的经文和安拉（SWT）的创造。他ﷺ教导他们如何通过顺服安拉（SWT）来忍受一切艰难。

The Sahabah (Companions) used to offer prayers in the hills on the outskirts of Makkah away from the Quraysh. Everytime someone embraced Islam, Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) would send him or her someone from those who had embraced Islam earlier to teach them the Qur’an. He (pbuh) sent Khabbab ibn al- Arrat to teach the Qur’an to Fatimah bint al-Khattab and her husband Sa’id. ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab once surprised them while they held their circle, and he embraced Islam then and there. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) however realized that this was not enough, so he set up the house of al-Arqam ibn Abi al-Arqam as the centre of his call, a place from which he taught Muslims the Qur’an and perfected their knowledge of Islam, encouraging them to recite the Qur’an and understand it. Whenever someone embraced Islam, Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) would meet him in the house of al-Arqam. He (pbuh) pursued this task for three years, teaching this group of Muslims, leading them in prayers, and performing Tahajjud at night, motivating their souls, strengthening their belief through prayer and recitation, helping them to improve their way of thinking and to reflect on the verses of the Qur’an and the creation of Allah (swt). He (pbuh) taught them how to endure all hardships by submitting to Allah (swt).

真主的使者ﷺ与他的穆斯林同伴们一直留在阿尔-阿卡姆的家中，直到真主（SWT）降示了祂的经文：

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) remained together with his party of Muslims in the house of al-Arqam until Allah (swt) revealed his saying,

因此，你要公开宣讲你所奉命传达的，并且远离“以物配主者”。 [Al-Hijr, 15: 94]

“Therefore, proclaim openly, that which you are commanded, and turn away from “Al-Mushrikun” [Al-Hijr, 15: 94]
