Muhammad was reading Quran. Some Jinns heard and came to him. They learned from him and soon became Muslim. We can't see Jinns but they can see us. But there are some people who are allowed to see the Jinns. Creepy! Muhammad can see Jinns.
When someone converts to Islam, Allah forgives him of all his sins and he is pure like a baby.
Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr has this only piece of cloth that he wore. If he pulled it down to cover his feet, his face would show. If he covered his face, his feet would show. So Muhammad said to use the cloth to cover his face, and get some tree leaves for his feet.
Sa'ad ibn Mu'adh accepted Islam.

Day 8
Abu Talib was dying and Muhammad was with him. Muhammad said, "Oh uncle, say La ilaha ilallah. That's all I want from you." Abu Jahl was there. He said, "Are you going to die under the religion of Muhammad, or under the religion of your father?" Abu Talib's last words were, "I'm dying under the religion of my father." Muhammad said, "I'm going to keep asking Allah to forgive my uncle."
Two months later, Khadijah dies. That time was called the Year of Sorrow, because two of Muhammad's most loved people were dead.
The Buraq was a very fast animal. Muhammad mounted it, by the command of a angel. Muhammad got to the masjid of Jerusalem. He dismounted the Buraq and went into the masjid. He prayed two raka'ah. He was the imam of all the prophets.
Muhammad went up into the seven heavens and met all the prophets.
Muhammad met Allah. He talks DIRECTLY to him. Allah perscribes 50, FIFTY daily prayers. Muhammad went down to Musa and told him.
Musa said, "Your people can't handle that. Go back, tell Him to reduce it." Muhammad went back. Allah reduced the prayer to 40. Muhammad told Musa.
Musa said, "Go back and reduce it." Allah reduced it by ten. Muhammad went down.
"Go back, reduce again," said Musa. So it was reduced to 30, then 20, then 10, then 5. Muhammad went to Musa and told him.
Musa said, "Go reduce it again."
Muhammad said, "I'm ashamed to go back to Allah, I can't."
This event was called Israa' Mi'raaj.
Musa punched The Angel of Death when he asked him, "Do you want to die?" Whoah!
Imagine a prophet with no followers. On the day of Judgment, he would meet Allah alone.
Quote: A prophet with no followers would meet Allah alone on the Day of Judgment."
(I think Judgment should be spelled like J U D G E M E N T. Don't you think so?)
If you can't pray standing up, pray sitting. If you can't pray sitting, pray lying down, if you can't, with your finger. If you can't do that, pray with your eyes. But there's no way you're never going to pray.
(Pray with my eyes? How? And how do you pray with your finger? And how do you make ruku' and sujud lying down? Do you put your hands on your knees? Please tell me in the blubber box if you know. Thanks! I mean, Jazakillah Khair!)

Day 7
Abu Jahl threw a rock at Muhammad and he bled. A slave girl saw, and she told Hamzah. He was upset. Hamzah hit Abu Jahl with his bow.
Hamzah became Muslim.
'Umar bin Khattab will not become Muslim till the donkey of his father does.
One time Muhammad was praying at the Ka'bah. Umar saw him and got under the cloth of the Ka'bah (planning to attack Muhammad) and sneaked around until he was in front of Muhammad. Muhammad was reading Surah Haqqah. Umar thought, "What wonderful words! These must be the words of a poet!" And just then Muhammad recited, "These are not the words of a poet, little do you remember." (Wa maa bi qawli shaa'ir, qaleelam ma tathakka roon.) Umar was surprised and thought, "Then these must be the words of a fortune teller!" Muhammad recited, "These are not the words of a fortune teller, little do you remember." (Wa maa be qawli kaahin, qalee lam ma tathakka roon.) Umar then thought, "These are the words of Allah."
Umar became Muslim. Everyone was so happy. They were like,
"ALLAHU AKBAR!"
"We were not allowed to pray around the Ka'bah publicly till Umar became Muslim."
Abu Jahl's name wasn't really Abu Jahl. Muhammad called him that. It meant 'Father of Ignorance." The people used to call him 'Abul Hakam.' 'Father of Wisdom.'
Rukanah was the strongest man among the Quraish. He was not Muslim but he asked to wrestle with Muhammad. Muhammad said, "If I wrestle with you, will you become Muslim?" Rukanah said yes. So they wrestled and Muhammad won. Rukanah was so surprised and he became Muslim.
Amazing story huh? It's also in my book called Gems and Jewels.

Day 6
I can't believe it's already the sixth day of Ramadan. Anyways, here we go.
August 6, 2011
Najashi asked, "What do you say about Isa?" "We say he is the slave of Allah."
Umm Salamah said: 'Amr bin Al-'Aas and his partner were disgraced because Najashi didn't bring gifts.
A man came to Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam and gave him a piece of gold. "This is all I have," said the man.
Abu Sufyan was the leader of Quraish, so his daughter Umm Habibah did not get persecuted.
Umm Ayman from Abyssinia said, "No peace on you." Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam told her, "Just say Salaam."
Asmaa bint 'Umays went to see Hafsah, Umar bin Al-Khataab's daughter and also Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam's wife. Umar saw her and asked Hafsah, "Who is is this? Is it the woman from Abyssinia?" Hafsah said, "Yes." Umar told Asmaa,"We made hijrah before you, so you aren't as close to Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam as we are." Asmaa got angry and told Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam what Umar said. Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam said, "Umar gets the reward of one hijrah, and you get reward of two."
When Abu Bakr read Quran, he would cry. He would pray outside in front of all the people of Quraish, and the leaders of Quraish were angry. So Abu Bakr left the land because he wanted a place to worship Allah.

Notes: Day 5
Bedouins would raid caravans, kill, do anything.
Abu Dharr heard of Muhammad and asked his brother what the people said about him. His brother said, "They say he is a sorcerer." Abu Dharr said, "I don't believe you. I will investigate the matter myself."
Abu Dharr became Muslim. "Ash hadu al laa ilaha illallah." The people gathered around him and beat him so bad he died. (Don't worry, he didn't really die!)
Everywhere people were becoming Muslim.
Whoever searches for guidance, Allah will give it to them. Islam teaches good. Worship Allah alone.
Uthman bin Affan and his wife Fatimah were the first ones to make hijrah after Prophet Lut.
my arm hurts from burning it
Umm Salamah said there's this speech Ja'far ibn Abi Tailb said in front of King An-Najashi.
An-Najashi wanted to become Muslim.
Ja'far recited Surah Maryam to An-Najashi. All his bishops cried so much they wet their bibles.
