Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) then told him to go and call all the children of Muttalib, because these were his close relatives. When Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) called them, then forty people came. Among these people were his uncles, Abu Taalib, Hazrat Hamzah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), Hazrat Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and Abu Lahab.<\/p>\n<p>Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) broke the meat into pieces, placed it in a bowl and presented it before his family to eat. He gave them the meat and said, \u201cTake the name of Allah Ta\u2018ala and start eating.\u201d Allah Ta\u2018ala placed so much of barakah in the meat that even though it was just the shoulder of one goat, all forty people ate from it and there was still some left over!<\/p>\n<p>Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) then served the milk to them, and even though it was only one bowl of milk, there was so much of barakah that all forty people drank from it until they were full!<\/p>\n<p>After they had eaten, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) wanted to speak to them and invite them to Islam. However, at that time, his evil uncle, Abu Lahab, addressed the others and said, \u201cO people! Wake up and leave! Muhammed (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) has cast a magic spell on the food today, and we have never seen a spell like this before.\u201d As soon as Abu Lahab said this, the people woke up and went away, and Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) did not get a chance to speak to them.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) again prepared food and called his family relatives. This time, after they had eaten, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) addressed them and invited them to Islam saying, \u201cWhat I am going to present before you is so excellent and good that no person has presented anything better than it to his people. I have come to inform you about this world and the next world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From this incident, we learn that just as we must try to be good Muslims, we must also worry about other people, especially our family and relatives. We must speak to them about Allah Ta\u2018ala, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and deen. By doing this, our imaan will become strong and their imaan will also become strong.<\/p>\n<p>We also learn that if people do not want to listen to us when we talk to them about Allah Ta\u2018ala and deen, then we must not give up. We must keep trying, because this will make Allah Ta\u2018ala happy. Insha Allah, one day, Allah Ta\u2018ala will change their hearts so that they will listen and will become good Muslims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After becoming the Nabi of Allah Ta\u2018ala, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) invited people to Islam in secret for three years.
