Answers
Answer:
After three years of silent preaching, the Prophet (saw) invited people to Islam openly.The new chief of Banu Hashim was Abu Lahab, the worst enemy of Islam.Makkans rejected him and Abu Lahab used insulting language ad rejected the invitation to Islam. The wife of Abu Lahb, Ume Jamila used to throw rubbish and thorny bushes on the way of the Prophet (saw).Once the pagans put a stomach of camel on his back when he was in the prostration in Kaaba.The pagans tempted him to quit his mission. They offered Abu Talib to give Mohammad (saw) wealth or marry any woman or the Lordship of Makkah.
Holy Prophet (saw) faced a boycott. He, his family and companions had to leave their homes and they lived in a narrow valley outside Makkah (Shob e Abi Talib) for three years.they had to suffer severe physical and financial troubles but Mohammad (saw) and the companions remained steadfast and firm in their belief.
