After Prophethood Allah's messages continued to come and he quietly but firmly began to preach the Oneness OF Allah and the good ways of living to his relatives and friends.
Following are the one who accepted Islam in earlier stage:
- Hazrat Khadija
- Hazrat Abu Bakar
- Hazrat Zaid
- Hazrat Ali
- Hazrat Uthman bin Affan
- Hazrat Talha bin Ubaidullah
- Hazrat Zubair bin Awaam
- Hazrat Sa'ad bin Abi Waqass
- Hazrat Abdur-Rahmaan bin Auf
The teaching of Islam continued in secret for 3 years
Then Allah commanded Rasulullah to preach the religion of Islam openly to his people.
Obeying Allah, Muhammed called his people together from the family of Quraish and invited them to the religion of Islam.
The people of the Quraish were very angry with his teaching and began to abuse him.
Rasulullah did not stop preaching Islam although the people of Makkah, especially his uncle Abu Lahab and Abu Jahl (Amr bin Hishaam) were against his message and preaching.
However, the sincere people slowly continued to accept Islam.
The poor and weak converts to Islam, like Hazrat Bilal and others suffered at the hands of the Quraish.
With all the hardships no one left Islam and Rasulullah did not stop his mission of Islam.
