One day the day prophet Muhammad (pbuh) climbed on top of Mount Sana, in Mecca, and called out: O people of Quraysh! O people of Quraysh! Hearing his call, the people of Quraysh gathered around him and asked what the matter was. The Prophet said: If I told you that there was an army behind this hill, would you believe me? They all replied: Indeed, for we trust you, and we have never known you to tell a lie. The Prophet then said: Know then that I am a Warner and I warn you of a severe punishment. O Banu Abdul Muttalib! O Banu Abd Manaf! O Banu Zuhra! O Banu Taym! O Banu Makhzum! O Banu Asad! God has commanded me to warn my nearest kinsmen, that I can guarantee to you no good on the earth or in heaven unless you witness that there is none worthy of worship except God. Hearing this, the Prophets uncle, Abu Lahab, got up and said: Perish thou this very day! was it for this that thou assembled us here? Not discouraged at this cruel and harsh reception from his own kinsfolk, the Holy Prophet took his preaching to the people of Mecca at large. He spoke to them around the Kaba and he talked to them in the streets of Mecca. His message to the people in each case was very simple: God is One. There is none worthy of worship except Him. He has no associate. He is the sole Creator of the Universe. God is Unseen and All Powerful and to portray Him with figures and statues is not right. Muhammad is Gods Messenger just like Abraham, Moses and Jesus... In short, the Holy Prophet asked the people to give up idol worship, return to the worship of One God and be kind and charitable to the poor.
