ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh<br />

think and think, create tricks and look for new plots that might be of use to restrain the<br />

spreading mission and to suppress its voice, which entered the hearts without asking<br />

permission. Every plot and every trick the people of Quraysh used didnt achieve a bit of<br />

their aim, didnt satisfy their beastliness against the new mission and didnt relieve<br />

their fear and worry about their gods, which were about to be trodden by the feet of the<br />

Mohammedans. More important that Quraysh was afraid that the authority and the<br />

leadership would be lost and this made Quraysh strive day and night to do away with this<br />

mission and its leader. Quraysh tried to put out this flame, to silence this voice and to cut<br />

this twig but it returned empty-handed because Muhammad (s) was safeguarded by his<br />

uncle and his men. He was in a strong fortress that no storm could shake. If a single hand<br />

stretched to harm Muhammad or to shed a drop of his blood, hundreds of swords would<br />

be unsheathed to pluck out all of Quraysh. Then the mission would be mixed with the<br />

blood of the holiest man on the earth and this would have a great effect in the hearts of<br />

Muhammads followers and it would hasten spreading the mission everywhere.<br />

Quraysh resisted the Prophets companions, seduced them and tortured them but it<br />

found itself in front of iron that couldnt be notched, rocks that couldnt be crumbled<br />

and mountains that couldnt be shaken. Neither torture nor discrimination would make a<br />

true faithful give up his faith. In fact all of that firmed the faith in the hearts and rooted it<br />

in the consciences especially when those believers longed for Paradise and its eternal<br />

blessedness. Then what would Quraysh do as long as all its means were useless? In that<br />

critical situation and that difficult distress one of the devils of Quraysh thought of a<br />

satanic idea. It would satisfy their furious grudge and get them to their sought aim. They<br />

thought of the blockade against whoever assisted and protected Muhammad (s). They<br />

had to declare a cold war to be safe from victims and losses and to force their enemy<br />

either to yield and prevent Muhammad (s) from spreading his mission or to hand him over<br />

to Quraysh as cheap victim and priceless prey. Quraysh wrote down a covenant including<br />

some articles; to be as one hand against the Hashemites, to be in a state of war against<br />

them without any truce, not to marry from them and not to let them marry from them, not<br />

to sell or buy from each other, not accept any peace with them at all and to carry out<br />

these conditions without a bit of mercy or pity. Nothing would make Quraysh give up this<br />

blockade unless the Hashemites handed Muhammad over to the polytheists of Quraysh<br />

then the blockade would be annulled and the Hashemites would live normally as before.<br />

They signed the sheet of the covenant and hanged a copy on the wall of the Kaaba. This
