Then came the day. Hamzah went out of his house towards the desert carrying his bow to practice his favourite sport of hunting (in which he was very skilled ). He spent most of his day there. On his way home he passed by  Al-Ka’bah as usual, to circumambulate it. Near Al-Ka’bah, a female servant of Abd Allah lbn Jud’aan saw him and  said, ‘O Abu Umarah! You haven’t seen what happened to Your nephew at the hands of Abu Al-Hakam lbn Hisham. When he saw Muhammad (ï·º) sitting there, he hurt him and called him bad names and treated him in a way that he hated’.

She went on to explain what Abu Jahl had done to the Prophet of Allah. Hamzah listened to her Carefully and paused for a while,then with his right hand he picked up his bow and put it on his  Shoulder. He walked with fast, steady steps towards Al-Ka’bah, hoping to meet Abu Jahl there. He decided that If he did not find him, he would search for him everywhere till he did. As soon as he reached Al-Ka’bah he glanced at Abu Jahl sitting in the yard in the middle of the Quraishi noblemen. Hamzah advanced very calmly towards Abu Jahl and hit him with his bow on the head till it broke the skin and bled.

To everybody’s surprise, Hamzah shouted, ‘You dare to insult Muhammad while I follow his Religion and I say what he says. Come and retaliate upon me. hit me if you can.’ In a moment they all forgot how their leader Abu Jahl had been insulted and they were all thunderstruck by the news that Hamzah had converted to Muhammad’s (ï·º) Religion and that he saw what Muhammad (ï·º) saw and said what he said. Could Hamzah really have converted to Islam when he was the strongest and most dignified Quraishi young man?. Such was the overwhelming disaster to which the Quraish were helpless, because Hamzah’s conversation would attract others from the elite to do the same.

Thus Muhammad’s (ï·º) call would be supported, and he would find enough solidarity that the Quraish might wake up one day to find their idols being pulled down. Indeed, Hamzah had converted, and he announced what he had kept secret in his heart for so long. Hamzah possessed a sharp sight and dear consciousness. He went home, and after he had relaxed from the day’s exhaustion he sat down to think over what had happened. He had announced it in a moment of indignation and rage. He hated to see his nephew being insulted and suffering injustice with no one to help him.

Such racial zeal for the honour of Bani Hashim’s talk had made him hit Abu Jahl on the hea and shout declaring his Islam. It didn’t took long before Umar embraced the new faith too. During the Battle of Badr, *the Lion of Allah (Hamzah)* was instrumental in the victory for the Muslims. But the Quraish would not accept the defeat easily. They started to prepare the army and to pull together all powers to avenge their Honour and their dead. They insisted to continue the war. In the Battle of Uhud, all the Quraish went to war together with their Allies from the Arabs, under the leadership of Abu Sufyaan once again.

The Quraishi leaders had targeted two persons in the new battle, namely,  The Prophet (ï·º) and Hamzah. If one had heard them talking and plotting before the war, one would realize that Hamzah was their second main target after the Prophet (ï·º).

Before they went to war, they had already chosen the person in charge of assassinating Hamzah: an Abyssinian slave with extra ordinary skill in spearthrowing. They planned for him to kill Hamzah, his only role being to hit him with a deadly spear. They warned him not to be busy with any other preoccupation other than Hamzah, regardless of the situation on the battlefield.

They promised him the excellent reward  of his freedom. The slave, whose name was Wahshiy, was owned by Jubair Ibn Mut’am. Jubair’s uncle had been killed in the Battle of Badr, so Jubair said to Wahshiy, ‘Go out with the army, and if you kill Hamzah you will be free.’ Afterwards, the Quraish sent Wahshiy to Hind Bint Utbah, Abu Sufyaan’s wife, to give him more encouragement to kill Hamzah, because she had lost her father, Uncle, Brother, and son and it was said that Hamzah had been behind their deaths. Them with thirsty swords. The Muslims tried to pull themselves together, picking up the weapons they had put down upon seeing the Quraish withdrawing , but the attack was too violent.

When Hamzah saw what had happened , he doubled his strength and his activity. Hamzah was striking all around him while Wahshiy was observing him, waiting for the right moment. Wahshiy describes the scene: I was an Abyssinian man who used  to throw the spear in an Abyssinian way that scarcely misses its target. When the armies met I searched for Hamzah till I found him in the middle of the crowd like a huge Camel. He was killing everyone around  with his sword. Nothing could stop him. By Allah, I prepared for him. I wanted him. I hid behind a Tree so that I might attack him or he might come close to me.

At that moment Saba’u Ibn Abd Al-Uzzaa approached Him before me. When Hamzah glanced at him He shouted, ‘Come to me, you Son of the one who circumcises!’ and he hit him directly In the head. Then I shook my spear till I was in full control over it and  threw it. The spear penetrated him from the back and came out from between his legs. He rose to reach me but could not and soon died. I came to his body and took my spear and went back to  sit in the camp. I didn’t want anything else to do with him. I killed him only to be free. When I returned to Mecca, they set me free. I stayed there till the Prophet Muhammad (ï·º) entered Mecca on the Day of the Conquest.

I fled to At-Taa’if. When the Delegation of Al-Taa’if went to declare their conversion to Islam, I heard various people say that I should go to Syria or Yemen or any other place. While I was in such distress, a man said to me, ‘Woe to you! The Prophet (ï·º) never kills anyone ntering his religion.’ I went to Allah’s Prophet (ï·º) In Medina, and the moment he first saw me I was already giving my true testimony. When he saw me he said, ‘Is it you, Wahshiy?’ I said, ‘Yes, Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘Tell me, how did You kill Hamzah?’ I told him, And when I finished he told me, ‘Woe to you! Get out of My sight and never show your Face to me’.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
