The Prophet’s Sirah • Series 4

The Call From Mount Safa

The Open Call, the Opposition of Quraysh and the Hijrah to Abyssinia According to the Qur’an and Authentic Hadith

After three years in secret, the command came: “Declare what you are commanded!” The fourth book of The Prophet’s Sirah follows the call on Mount Safa, the mockery and compromise offers of Quraysh, the torture of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the weak Companions, and the first hijrah in Islam to the land of a just king in Abyssinia — with weak reports clearly marked. “By Allah, Allah will complete this matter… but you are hasty.”
