2. Utbah Ibn Rabee’ah
• Utbah Ibn Rabee’ah was one of the leaders in
Makkah.
• Quraysh realized that Islam is spreading and
no way to stop it.
• Utbah suggested to his friends to approach
Muhammad PBUH with some offers.

3. Utbah Ibn Rabee’ah
He went and accused Allah’s Messenger by
saying,
 You had split our people up ;
 You have discredited their life; Found
fault with their gods and religion and
 Spoke ill of their forefgathers.

4. Quraysh Offers
 If you are doing this to make money out of it, we will
give you so much of our wealth that you will
become the richest person among us.
 If it is position and honor that you are seeking , we
will make you our chief.
 If you want to be a king, we will make you our king.
 If you are possessed, we will spend all we have to
seek a cure for you.

5. Prophet Muhammad
listened to Utbah
attentively …
HE replied with the first 38 verses of
Surat Fussilat (Surah 41 of Quran) , when
he finished recitation, he prostrated
himself to Allah before saying to Utbah
you have heard what I had to say.

8. I have heard something which I have
never heard before !
× It is neither poetry
× Nor sorcery
× Nor is it anything to do with soothsaying.
× What I heard will bring great event.
Utbah told his people : “leave him, if the rest of Quraysh kill
him, they will spare you the trouble otherwise if he wins that
will be your victory”.
Quraysh said “ Muhammad has certainly thrown a spell over
you”.
