Before Hijrah 11
Before Hijrah 11
Efforts continue to find another place. Many tribes were contacted.
. The message appealed some tribes but they demanded power and position in return, which Rasul Allah صلّى اللهُ عليه وسلم refused to give.
. First meeting at Aqabah with group of 7 people from Khazraj tribe of Yasrib.
1. Finding new places where message can stand on its own.
2. The nature of this message is different than worldly positions and kingships.
3. During these meetings, obedience, protection and support was demanded from the tribes.
4. Though glad tidings of victories were given, but in return no worldly gains or positions were promised – but only Jannah.
