Muhammad's trouble with the Meccans

The following images of Muhammad was drawn by 16th century Turkish artists (ref: "Early Islam" by Desmond Stewart. 1967.  Time-Life Books.  From the series Great Ages of Man).

How Mohammad persuaded the Meccans


Ibn Masud, one of the early converts to Islam, recites Koran and gets the wrath of hostile Meccans


Mohammad performs miracle to one tribe of Mecca giving them the rare commodity in any desert -- the life sustaining water!



Mohammad performs another miracle among Meccans.  But he was immediately labeled an evil sorcerer



The Meccan Mob wanted to kill Muhammad by stoning.  But Abu Bakr stops them.  Finally, delegates came from Medina who invited Muhammad to come to their city where a friendly crowd waits


Muhammad is on the run!


In September 622 AD, Muhammad and his followers departed Mecca for Medina.  However, the distraught Meccans were hunting down Muhammad and Abu Bakr.  Here is a scene from Hijrat (the flight).  Satan is shown here in blue robe telling Meccans that Muhammad and his companion must be in the cave.  But the presence of a dove's nest and fresh cobweb at the entrance of the cave saves the Prophet and Abu Bakr



Another miracle happened during Hijrat.  Please read the above description.



Yet another miracle performed by Muhammad during his flight to Medina
