S:02 | EP:06 | Seerah | The Boycott & Year of Sorrow - Shaykh Mustafa Abu Rayyan

In this lesson, Shaykh Mustafa Abu Rayyan narrates the pivotal conversions of Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib and Umar ibn al-Khattab, showing how their embrace of Islam strengthened the Muslim community in Makkah. Hamza’s conversion follows his defense of the Prophet ﷺ, while Umar’s is inspired by witnessing the devotion of his sister and the power of the Quran. The episode also details the Quraysh’s repeated attempts to stop Islam, including wealth, status, or compromise, all of which failed. It covers the three-year social boycott of the Prophet ﷺ and Banu Hashim, highlighting their extreme hardship and the Prophet’s unwavering perseverance. The boycott ended through acts of human compassion, marking a turning point in Islam’s early struggle and setting the stage for the Year of Sorrow. 📍 For the congregation at GLM. 🧑‍🎓 For students, working professionals and reverts finding their path. 🌍 For brothers and sisters joining online worldwide.
