companions

They also invited the Holy Prophet and his companions to travel to Yatrib and expressed their readiness in protecting them and moreover, even in sacrificing their own lives for their safety.

First meeting with Prophet

It was pilgrimage season that year, the 13th year of Mohammad's mission (622 Gregorian) that a group of people, comprising of 72 men and women belonging to the town of Yathrib, (including Abu Talha and Ummu Sulaim) came to Makkah to secretly meet the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). They were very enthusiastic to find him living with them, listening to his preaching and bearing the comfort and peace of mind.

myself

Faith

Abu Talha departed and proceeded to his house, wondering and thinking about what Ummu Sulaim had just said. Her words struck his heart. He seriously asked himself: “What is it in this Faith that changed Ummu Sulaim to that extent that she keeps her Faith above all worldly pleasures?”

accept

“This is the only way we can attain the mercy of Allah, His blessings and the satisfaction of our souls. If you can accept the Truth, then and only then, will I marry you”, Ummu Sulaim said.

feeling puzzled

Let me think about it, Abu Talha murmured, feeling puzzled by the last question asked by Ummu Sulaim. Ummu Sulaim continued: “ O Abu Talha, I call you to accept the True Religion of Allah that He selected for humanity and revealed to Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him)”. “It is to worship the Only and True God, by trusting in Him, by adhering the principles of morality and by renouncing both ignorance and cruelty.”

it is true

“Yes, it is true,” Abu Talha replied. “Is it a fact that you can burn them by putting them on fire?” she asked. “Yes, we can burn them anytime we want to,” he answered. “How can a man of your quality follow and worship such things!?” Are you not ashamed in worshipping such idols, stones or trees instead of the True Creator and Sustainer of the universe?”

Abu Talha

But Ummu Sulaim was firm on her stand and said: “O Abu Talha, a man of your quality is hard to refuse and to tell you the truth is that I do like you. But I being a Muslim, can not marry an unbeliever. O Abu Talha, for once, please think about your religion. Aren't your gods carved by the slaves of your family?”

admirers

Among those ardent admirers of Ummu Sulaim was a handsome and rich youth of the same Najjar tribe in the name of Abu Talha. He offered marriage to Ummu Sulaim but she turned him down for the sake of Anas. But after a few months, because of his genuine love and adoration with Ummu Sulaim, Abu Talha approached her again and tried once more.

Earthly desir or Faith :

Again, Ummu Sulaim concentrated in teaching Anas the Islamic Faith, Morals and Manners. Most of the people in Yathrib were illiterates because there were no regular school by that time. Despite of this handicap, Ummu Sulaim tried her best in teaching Anas the fundamentals of reading and writing.

teachings of Islam

Ummu Sulaim lived in Yathrib with her son Anas who was seven years of age at that period. She devoted her time in worshipping Allah and in spreading the teachings of Islam. For she was still young and famous for her natural beauty, wisdom and manner, a number of youth of Yathrib asked for her hand in marriage. She refused such an offer taking always in consideration of her son‟s affection. She was very eager to raise her child “Anas” to be a true Muslim.

Sincere dedicaton to Islam:

Malik made his last move. He threatened to leave her permanently if she did not abandon her new faith. But this did not even change the will of Ummu Sulaim, she accepted her husbands challenge in favor of Islam in order to obtain the mercy Allah. Full of hate and frustration, Malik desperately left her wife and proceeded to Syria where he met his death.

a woman

Ummu Sulaim was a woman of strong personality and determination. She ignored the   pressure being applied to her by her husband. She felt that her soul experienced the real happiness with her new religion. She refused to leave the way of light. Instead, she chose the path of a Muslim life.

husband

Her husband felt outrageous upon learning of her decision in embracing Islam. He vocally opposed her and abused her and pressed her hardly to abandon her new Faith.

couple

The couple had a son whom they named „Anas‟. Ummu Sulaim was a woman of wisdom and reason. She was among the first of the people of Yathrib who freed themselves from the slavery of social traditions and ignorance and were among the first who accepted the “Truth” courageously.
