In the early days of his message, Muhammad was very tired of Quraishs resistance. He decided to try another city. Al Taif was a city near Mecca. Muhammad driven by the faith of a true messenger went to Al Taif to convey his message to its people. Unfortunately, the people of Al Taif were no better than the people of Mecca. They too harmed him by beating him, throwing stones on him and chasing him out of their city. Muhammad left Al Taif. His face was covered with blood. His body was bruised from the effects of stoning. He sat in an Orchard outside Al Taif to catch his breath. A man who was taking care of the Orchard came to him and asked him of what had happened to him. Muhammad told him about his message. The man was very kind to Muhammad and offered him some grapes to eat and water to drink. He further encouraged Muhammad to be patient and to persevere the harm. While Muhammad was resting in the Orchard, Jibreel came to him. He told Muhammad that Allah (swt) is sending his regards to him. He also told Muhammad that Allah had sent the Angel of Mountains with him. The Angel of Mountains greeted Muhammad, he asked Muhammad of what his was wish? He told Muhammad, that if he so wished, he could cause the two mountains on the sides of Mecca to collapse and destroy Mecca. Muhammad, as compassionate a human being can be, replied: “No, for I hope that Allah (the Mighty and the Majestic) will bring forth from their progeny people who will worship Allah Alone, and none besides Him.” #WhoIsMuhammad PS: Allah literally means The God.
