| Sayidina Umar Al Khattab RA -migrate to Medinah |
Sayidina Umar RA is well known for his
bravery and heroism by one and all. In the beginning, when the
Muslims were very weak, Nabi SAW prayed to Allah SWT to strengthen
the Muslims with Sayidina ‘Umar’s RA, Islam. This prayer was
answered by Allah in no time,
Abdullah bin Ma’sood RA says: “We
could not say our Solah in the Haram till he had accepted Islam.”
Sayidina Ali RA says: “Early emigrants to Madinah left Makkah
quietly and secretly, due to the fear of Quraish. However when
Sayidina ‘Umar RA decided to emigrate, he hung his sword from his
neck, held his bow in his hand and took a large number of arrows with
him.
He first went to Haram, performed Tawaaf most confidently, said
his Solah most calmly and then went to the different groups of
Quraish, declaring before each of them, ‘Whoever does not mind his
mother crying for him, his wife becoming a widow and his children
becoming orphans, may come out of Makkah and face me.’ There was
none to accept his challenge.”
