city of Al-Madinah) be good,
and (likewise) my exit (from the city
of Makkah) be good.
And grant me from You and
authority to help me. [Sura Israh]
In the twelfth year of Prophethood, 7 people from Madinah came for pilgrimage.
Holy Prophet (S.A.W) preached Islam in front of them. This new religion inspired them a lot.
Consequently they converted to Islam and pledged on the hand of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) that they will help him in every and any manner possible.
This angered Quraish a lot and they multiplied their efforts in stopping the Holy Prophet (S.A.W)
These people went back and spread the message of Islam in their tribes.
Next year, i.e. thirteenth year of Prophethood, sevety five more people came to Holy Prophet (S.A.W) and accepted Islam and pledged to help Holy Prophet (S.A.W) that they will help in every and any manner possible.
They also gave invitation to Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) to come to Madinah and spend his life there as they knew that people of Makkah are becoming a great nuisance for Muslims
Holy Prophet (S.A.W) sent Hazrat Musab bin Umair (R.A) along with them so that he can teach them Holy Quran.
As a result of this pledge, Muslims got an option to migrate to Madinah and follow Islam with more passion and spirit.
ALLAH (S.W.T.) also gave permission to the Muslims to migrate towards Madina in the following words…
“And Say (O Muhammad S.A.W); My Lord! Let my entry (to the city of Al-Madinah) be good, and (likewise) my exit (from the city of Makkah) be good. And grant me from You and authority to hep me (or a firm sign or a proof) (Surah al Isra:80)
This gave boost to Muslims’ overall strength as now they could practice and preach Islam with freedom
