The first year of Preaching
Zayd ibn Hārithah and Abū Bakr all accepted Islam.
The third year after Preaching
The public proclamation of the call to Allah Most High began. In His Most gh’s words, ‘So proclaim openly what you have been commanded [to convey] and ignore the polytheists’ [Qur’an 15: 94].
When the Prophet ﷺ [initially] invited his people to Islam, they neither shunned nor rebuffed him until he started to mention and criticise their gods.
Hazrat Abu Talib took care of him ﷺ and so the matter was not fraught with danger. Nevertheless, the people did begin to ostracise others who converted. Quraysh conspired against those who accepted Islam: torturing and persecuting them because of their religion.
There was an occasion during this period when Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas was with a group of people praying in one of the mountain trails, and a group of polytheists suddenly surrounded them lati as they prayed and began to criticise them for what they were doing, until a fight broke out. Thereupon, Sa’d struck [one of the polytheists] with a camel jawbone, causing a head injury. This was the first blood to be spilt in Islam.
The fifth year after Preaching
Hazrat ‘Ã’ishah was born.
The first migration to Abyssinia took place. Initially, eleven men and four women covertly departed: amongst them was ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affan and his wife Ruqayyah, the daughter of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ, Umm Salamah, who was later to become the Mother of the Believers, and ‘Uthmān ibn Maz’ün, who was to lead them. Thereafter, Ja’far ibn Abi Talib left, and the Muslims began to successively leave until they reached eighty two men, excluding women and children, in total. They were treated honourably by the Negus (Najäshī).” Afterwards, some of them returned to Mecca, whilst those who remained did so until the Prophet ﷺ migrated to Medina, whereupon they migrated to it.
Hazrat Sumayyah, the mother of ‘Ammar ibn Yasar, was martyred; she was the first martyr in Islam.
The sixth year after Preaching
His ﷺ uncle Hazrat Hamzah ibn ‘Abd al-Muṭṭalib accepted Islam. He was the strongest and the most valiant youth amongst Quraysh; thus, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was strengthened by him, as Quraysh, to some extent, desisted from [harming] him.
Then, ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb accepted Islam three days after Hamzah as a result of the Prophet’sﷺ prayer.
The seventh year after Preaching
Quraysh got together and pledged to collectively sever ties with Bani Hashim and Banī Muṭṭalib by boycotting them in regards to buying, selling, marriage and so forth. So they wrote such terms of the boycott on a piece of paper with Manṣūr ibn ‘Ikrimah’s handwriting – consequently his hand becoming paralysed – and hung it inside the Kaaba. With the ratification of the boycott, Banī Hashim and Bani Muṭṭalib were marginalised to the mountain trail of Abū Țālib, and the Muslims endured much suffering and hunger. This blockade continued for almost three years until they had been exhausted, as nothing would reach them except covertly. Then a group of five chieftains from Quraysh agreed to annul the alb treaty and abolish it. fawiyyah wordpress.com
The Battle of Bu’ath, which is the name of a fortress belonging to al-Aws, took place between al-Aws and al-Khazraj.
The eighth year after Preaching
The Chapter on the Romans [Surah al-Rūm] was revealed. The reason behind its revelation was that there was an ongoing war between the Persians and the Romans, and the polytheists wanted the Persians to prevail, because they both were illiterate
and because the Persians were Magians. The Muslims, on the other hand, wanted the Romans to win, as both of them were People of a Book. During the first confrontation, the Romans won, and thus the verses were revealed describing that and foretelling their future defeat.
The ninth year after Preaching
He ﷺ and his family came out of the blockade in the mountain trail, and the treaty [of boycott] was abolished.
The moon was split asunder it was a celestial miracle that was exclusively for him ﷺ and no one else amongst his brothers from the messengers.
The tenth year after Preaching
Hazrat Abu Talib passed away, and then Lady Khadijah passed away three days after him [Abū Țālib]. Such was the deepening sorrow
of the Messenger ﷺ that he named this year ‘the Year of Grief.’ He ﷺ married Sawdah bint Zam’ah and consummated the
marriage in Mecca.
He ﷺ contracted marriage with ‘A’ishah.
He ﷺ went out alone to Thaqif, the people of Ta’if,and stayed there for a month, inviting them [to Islam], until it came to pass that he was severely hurt and encountered unbearable criticism, condemnation and mockery.
The eleventh year after Preaching
He ﷺ endeavoured to present himself to the tribes in their assemblies during the [pilgrimage] season in Minā, ‘Arafāt and the popular markets.
The Anṣār [Medinan Supporters] began to accept Islam. From amongst them, he ﷺ met six individuals from the Khazraj at al’Aqabah, who came to believe in him.
The jinn from Nuṣaybīn, which is a city in Shām, visited him; there were nine of them. They came to believe in him, and Allah mentioned them with His words, ‘And when we sent a group of jinn to you [the Prophet]…’ [Qur’an 46: 29].
The twelfth year after Preaching
He ﷺ was taken on a night journey [Isrä’] 87from Mecca to Jerusalem and thereafter ascended [Mi’raj] from Jerusalem to the highest heavens and up to what only Allah knows. Numerous Companions and scholars affirm that he ﷺ saw his Lord without [his beholding entailing] enclosure, encompassment and without modality by way of limits and boundaries. It was during this ascension that The Truth, Glorified is He, made mandatory upon him and his nation the five daily prayers.
The second pledge of allegiance was sworn at al-‘Aqabah, wherein he met twelve men from the Anṣār.

The third pledge of allegiance was sworn at al-‘Aqabah; in reality, it was the third meeting at al-‘Aqabah.
Moreover, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met seventy-three men and two women from al-Aws and al-Khazraj from whom he ﷺ took a pledge of allegiance, and appointed twelve supervisors over them.
