Two Strong Men Accept Islam
This Sirah lesson tells the story of two men whose acceptance of Islam changed everything for the early Muslim community Hamzah رضي الله عنه and ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه.
Abu Jahl, a powerful and cruel leader of Makkah, was hurting our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ again. When Hamzah رضي الله عنه the Prophet’s strong and fearless uncle heard about it, he did not stay quiet. He marched over, struck Abu Jahl, and declared in front of everyone: “I believe in One Allah and that Muhammad is His true Prophet.”
Around that same time, our beloved Prophet ﷺ made a special duʿa: “O Allah, bring strength to Islam through the one You love more: Abu Jahl or ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab.” ʿUmar was fierce. People feared him. He hated Islam. But whenever he heard the Qur’an, something happened inside him. Its words reached a part of him he could not explain. One day, Allah filled his heart with the light of Islam, and he went straight to the Prophet ﷺ: “I’ve come to accept Islam.” He did not whisper it. He announced it to everyone, loudly and proudly: “I follow Muhammad ﷺ!”
With Hamzah and ʿUmar رضي الله عنه beside them, the Muslims felt stronger and safer than they ever had before. The lesson closes with a question worth sitting with: how can we be strong Muslims and show our Islam proudly like them?
