Lecture 9: The Unjust Covenant They Hung in the Kaba 🕋 (Boycott) The Shift in Power and the Boycott of Banu Hashim The Shift in Power As time passed, the force shifted, and the Muslims began to grow stronger day by day. Remarkably, throughout the Meccan period, spanning the 13 years that the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) spent in Mecca, the Muslims were ordered not to fight back. Despite some being killed and many others tortured physically, Allah commanded them not to retaliate. This command showed that Islam is truly from Allah, the All-Wise and All-Knowing. Anyone else might have given permission to take up arms in self-defense, but this was part of Allah's divine wisdom. Allah knew that if the Muslims had even raised a hand, the entire Quraysh tribe would have annihilated anyone who accepted Islam. Because the Muslims did not fight back, the Quraysh perceived them as weak, insignificant, and harmless, which, in turn, preserved Islam. The Unjust Covenant of Quraysh The idol worshippers of Quraysh then devised an unjust covenant, which they hung inside the Kaaba. This covenant declared that they would not marry from the tribe of Banu Hashim, to which the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) belonged. It stated: "We will not marry from Banu Hashim, we will not sell them anything, we will not sit with them, we will not mix with them, we will not enter their homes, we will not speak with them until they surrender the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and give him to us so that we can kill him." This audacious move was intended to pressure Banu Hashim into handing over the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). The tribe of Banu Muttalib, though cousins of Banu Hashim, chose to stand by them, showing solidarity in the face of the Quraysh's oppression. As a result, both Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib were boycotted and forced into the ravine of Abu Talib. The Hardships of the Boycott The Muslims were surrounded and cut off from all means of help and protection. Their children cried out in hunger, and their women suffered immensely due to the harsh conditions of the boycott. They could hear the cries of hunger and starvation from within and beyond the ravine. The situation became so dire that the Muslims were left with nothing to eat except the leaves of trees and old, discarded pieces of leather. سعد بن أبي وقاص (رضي الله عنه) narrated: "I remember the hard time we spent in the ravine of Abu Talib. Once, while I was urinating, I heard something beneath the stream of my urine. After finishing, I dug it out and found a piece of leather from a dead sheep. I took it, washed it, burned it, and ate its ashes. It gave me strength for a few days." This boycott lasted for three long years. The End of the Boycott Eventually, a group of honest idol worshippers convened in secret and agreed that the boycott was unjust. One of them declared: "What's happening to our friends and relatives in the ravine of Abu Talib is unfair. If I had someone to support me, I would stand against it." One by one, others joined him until six men stood up against the boycott. They voiced their opposition during a gathering of the people of Quraysh, challenging Abu Jahl and his supporters. The people of Quraysh, feeling sympathy for those suffering in the ravine, agreed that the boycott should end. When they went to the Kaaba to take down the covenant, they discovered that a worm had eaten through most of the parchment, leaving only the names of Allah intact. This miraculous sign further validated the Muslims' faith, and alhamdulillah, they were released from the ravine. The Loss of Two Great Supporters Unfortunately, the three years of hardship took their toll on the Prophet's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) uncle, Abu Talib. Just six months after leaving the ravine, Abu Talib fell ill and passed away. Three days later, the Prophet's beloved wife, Khadijah (رضي الله عنها), also died. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was 50 years old at the time, and this period came to be known as "The Year of Sorrow" (عام الحزن). However, it is important to note that this name is not found in any authentic hadith. With the loss of both financial, physical, and emotional support from these two beloved individuals, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) realized the need to seek other forms of support and protection for himself and the Muslims. May Allah grant us the patience and perseverance to endure hardships as the early Muslims did, and may He provide us with steadfast supporters in times of need. والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Lecture 9: The Unjust Covenant They Hung in the Kaba 🕋 (Boycott)
The Shift in Power and the Boycott of Banu Hashim
The Shift in Power
As time passed, the force shifted, and the Muslims began to grow stronger day by day. Remarkably, throughout the Meccan period, spanning the 13 years that the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) spent in Mecca, the Muslims were ordered not to fight back. Despite some being killed and many others tortured physically, Allah commanded them not to retaliate.
This command showed that Islam is truly from Allah, the All-Wise and All-Knowing. Anyone else might have given permission to take up arms in self-defense, but this was part of Allah's divine wisdom. Allah knew that if the Muslims had even raised a hand, the entire Quraysh tribe would have annihilated anyone who accepted Islam. Because the Muslims did not fight back, the Quraysh perceived them as weak, insignificant, and harmless, which, in turn, preserved Islam.
The Unjust Covenant of Quraysh
The idol worshippers of Quraysh then devised an unjust covenant, which they hung inside the Kaaba. This covenant declared that they would not marry from the tribe of Banu Hashim, to which the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) belonged. It stated:
"We will not marry from Banu Hashim, we will not sell them anything, we will not sit with them, we will not mix with them, we will not enter their homes, we will not speak with them until they surrender the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and give him to us so that we can kill him."

As a result, both Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib were boycotted and forced into the ravine of Abu Talib.
The Hardships of the Boycott
