Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, was the youngest child of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him. As she was growing up, she went through a period of sadness when her sisters, whom she was very closed with, had to move out of their house to be with their husbands' side of the families after they were married. It was around this time too when the call of prophethood begun for her father, peace be upon him, and her observation at such a young age to see the beginning of Islam and the secrecy around it.

As Mus'as rushed to the battlefield in the Battle of Uhud, charging into the enemies and protecting the Prophet from harm's way, he was severed in both arms and killed. Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him, extremely emotional upon the deaths of his Uncle Hamzah and Mus'ab, declared all those fallen in the Battle of Uhud as Martyrs and their place are in paradise.

Mus'ab r.a was the first few companions to arrive in Yathrib for the Hijrah. His treatment toward his blood brother, Abu 'Aziz when he was captured in the Battle of Badr and made as prisoner-of-war, proved Mus'ab r.a's commitment to treat his brothers in Islam more than his own flesh and blood. In the Battle of Uhud, Mus'ab r.a rushed to protect the Prophet, peace be upon him, when the instructions to the army to stay in positions were deserted and disobeyed, exposing the Prophet in danger. It was Mus'ab who rushed to save the Prophet, peace be upon him.

Mus'ab r.a was so successful in his mission to teach Islam to the tribes in Yathrib, that the way was being prepared for the great migration (Hijrah) for the Muslims from Mecca and the city of Yathrib was soon to become the base for the Islamic state and the flourishing of Islam in the world. Seventy-five Muslims from Yathrib eventually travelled with Mus'ab to Mecca during the pilgramage period. They took a solemnly undertook an oath to defend the Prophet at all cost and to remain firm in their faith. The second ba'yah or pledge called the Pledge of War was also undertaken by the Yathrib Muslims.

The Prophet, peace be upon him, had chosen Mus'ab r.a to become the 'ambassador' of Islam to Yathrib, which is now Medina City. His job was to teach a small group of believers who had come to pledge allegiance to Islam and to prepare the city for the great migration of the Muslims from Mecca to Yathrib. This is called the great Hijrah. Why was Mus'ab r.a chosen for this role when others were older than him and some were closer to the Prophet by blood line? It is because of his fine mannerism, sharp intellect and mostly for his knowledge of the Quran and his ability to recite it beautifully. Listen on.

Years passed in Mecca since the first revelation to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and Mus'ab acceptance into the religion of Islam. He was well respected by the Muslims, and though he no longer looked like his sartorial self in the past after his mother cut off all wealth from him, Mus'ab's was contented as a Muslim. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in one of his gatherings told the Muslims that Islam would be victorious even as far as Persia and Byzantium. He also said that the wealth of the Muslims will be such that one would be dressed differently from morning and evening, as well as how one would have different meals of the day. But would that be really better for the Muslims?

Being kept chained to one corner of his house, Mus'ab eventually managed to escaped from his mother's guards and migrated to Abyssinia with the rest of the persecuted Mulsims. His mother eventually cut all material wealth and ties from his family.
