*THREE YEARS OF SECRET MISSION OF THE PROPHET (SAW):-

• Prophet  (SAW) started descending cave of hira in the  al-noor mountain to go home,he found that he was now different mood. He was not a prophet before going to the cave , but now he was related to the source of creation , had communicated with the divine Origin , with the Divine Authority. 
• He was now witnessing what Bahira , the Christian monk , and others had been predicting about him and he well knew that a momentous task had been laid upon his shoulders.
• The prophet conveyed the message to Ali and lady Khadijah who both accepted Islam without any hesitation.
• Khadijah was this the first to embrace the New revelation and thus was the first woman to pray with him.
• She supported the Prophet S.A.W while heartedly and spent all her wealth in the way of Allah. She was married to the Prophet S.A.W and was her only wife during her lifetime.
• She was immensely loyal to the Prophet S.A.W and the Angel Jibrael was ordered by Allah to convey greetings of Allah to her !
• The prophet started inviting individuals to the new revelation but secretly. Ther were very few supporters and believers.
• When the Prophet used to perform congregations prayer,those who were with him were lazy Khadijah and Ali . This low -key approach continued for three years .
• The followers of the new religion start to grow, and so does the concern of the Quraysh towards them. 
• The elders of the quraysh send abu talib ,the uncle of the Prophet ,akimg him to stop his call for the new religion , and in return they would give him whatever he would want.
• “If you want wealth , we will give you as much as you want , if you want women , we will marry you the most beautiful woman of Arabia , and if you want position send status , we will make you the owner-king over us”.
• When abu talib conveyed the message of the elders of quraysh to the Prophet , he replied : “I swear by the Almighty that if they put the Sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand in condition that I desist from this affair I would not leave it until Allah causes it to prevail or I die in the process”.
• The the Messenger of Allah began to weep and rise and left the house , but abu talib called him and said : “Come back my nephew . Say what you like my nephew for by Allah I will never hand you over to them ever”.
• The quraysh realised that it is dealing with a true and determined prophet . From then on , open hostility towards this new religion , its prophet and its followers started to increase.
• Lady khadijah dedicates all her wealth and resources for the cause of her prophet-husband’s mission.
• The extent of this hostility reaches obvious persecution of the followers of the new religion and its prophet .
• Afterwards , in instructions from the Almighty, the Prophet’s invitation to Islam started to became more and more public.
• The Almighty instructs His messenger to begin with his clan , and warn your nearest kinsmen.
• For this purpose , the prophet prepared a banquet and invited the elders and chiefs of the Banu Hashim , who totalled forty.
• After they were served with a good feast , the Prophet invited them to Islam , called upon them to support him in his mission , and promised them that whosoever does so would be appointed as his successor,but  none took up the offer dismissing the Prophet and his mission nonsense , with the sole exception of Ali
• Ridiculing the whole thing , they turned towards abu talib and said : “Your son will be your commander , you should obey him!”. Nevertheless the mission continues unrelieved although with very few supporters .
• Despite the feverish attempts of the Arab infidels to suppress the call of truth , the young Muslim community began to grow in numbers , as more and more people flocked to the call of Islam .
