Summer was at its peak and the dates of Madinah were nearly ripe when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called the Muslims to march more than seven hundred kilometres north to face the Roman empire. ‘Uthman poured out a thousand dinars, poor Companions went home weeping for want of mounts, and the hypocrites whispered: “Do not go forth in the heat.” The twenty-fourth book of The Prophet’s Sirah tells of the Expedition of Tabuk.
“Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.”
