Three years boycotted in a narrow valley, then in a single year the loss of Abu Talib and Khadijah, then stoned at Ta’if. The fifth book of The Prophet’s Sirah follows the hardest years of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Makkah — and his answer to the Angel of the Mountains who offered revenge. Weak reports are clearly marked. “Rather, I hope that Allah will bring forth from their descendants those who worship Allah alone.”
“For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.”
