Welcome back to Road to Hajj — where we explore the rituals of Hajj, their meanings, and the mysteries behind them.Tonight, though, we're going to take a step back from the rituals themselves. Instead, we're diving into an incredible historical moment — one that didn't just shape the Hajj… it changed the course of Islamic history forever.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.This moment happened on the last night of Hajj, 1,447 years ago.It was the spark that led to the Hijrah — the Prophet's migration to Madinah. And as we know, the Hijrah wasn't just a journey; it was the turning point. So important, in fact, that the Companions later decided to mark it as year one in the Islamic calendar.To really appreciate what happened that night, we need to rewind the story a bit — back two years before the Hijrah.Rewinding to the Nights of MinaAs you may know, during Hajj, the pilgrims spend the 11th, 12th, and 13th nights of Dhul-Hijjah in Mina. Even today, that practice continues.But let's go back to the 11th year of Prophethood, a couple of years before Islam had a home in Madinah.Every year during Hajj, tribes from across Arabia would travel to Mecca. And every year, the Prophet ﷺ would walk among them, calling people to Islam.But that year, something was different.The Prophet wasn't just doing da'wah — he was also searching for a tribe that would adopt and protect him. Why? Because just a year earlier, in the 10th year of Prophethood, the Prophet ﷺ had lost his greatest worldly protector — his uncle Abu Talib.Abu Talib, the chief of Banu Hashim, had shielded the Prophet from the worst of Quraysh's violence. While others like Bilal, Sumayyah, and Abdullah ibn Mas'ud were tortured — often brutally — the Prophet was relatively protected due to Abu Talib's status.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.But when Abu Talib passed away, his successor was Abu Lahab — a man who refused to support or protect Rasulullah ﷺ.With no protection left in Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ went to Ta'if, hoping its people might offer refuge. But they rejected him and humiliated him.Eventually, he returned to Mecca under the protection of Mut'im ibn ‘Adi, a nobleman from another tribe. It was only temporary — the Prophet knew he couldn't count on Mut'im forever.So he started reaching out to other tribes.He approached Banu Kindah, a once-powerful tribe. They were interested… but they wanted power. They asked, “If we support you, will we be rulers after you?” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “That's not for me to promise — that is for Allah to decide.”Their intentions weren't sincere, so he moved on.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.A Small Encounter with Big ConsequencesAnd then — walking through Mina — the Prophet ﷺ noticed a small group: just six young men.He asked them, “Who are you?”They replied, “We are the Khazraj.”The Prophet asked, “The same Khazraj who live near the Jews in Yathrib?”They said, “Yes, we are from Yathrib.”That caught the Prophet's attention.You see, the people of Yathrib had lived alongside the Jews for generations. They were familiar with the concept of prophethood, scripture, and divine revelation. And, at that time, Yathrib was suffering from ongoing tribal conflictbetween two Arab tribes — the Aus and the Khazraj. Many of their elders had been killed. The city was fractured, desperate for unity.The Prophet ﷺ spoke to them about Islam — with the same sincerity and passion he had shown the big tribes.And something clicked.They didn't pledge allegiance that year, but they said:“Let us return to our people and speak to them. If it's good, we'll come back to you next year.”Year 12 of Prophethood: Bay‘at al-‘Aqabah (1)The next year, 12 people came back — most from Khazraj, some from Aus. They met the Prophet at night during the days of Mina and pledged allegiance.This was the first Bay‘at al-‘Aqabah — named after the valley near Jamrat al-‘Aqabah, where the meeting took place. Today, that area has changed, but back then it was where the Hajj tents stood.This first pledge was spiritual — they promised:* Not to associate partners with Allah* Not to steal or commit zina* Not to kill* To obey the Prophet in goodnessAfter that, they requested the Prophet ﷺ to send someone back with them to teach them Islam.The Prophet chose Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr — a young, eloquent, wise man from Mecca. Mus‘ab went to Yathrib and taught, preached, built the foundation for what was to come.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Year 13: Bay‘at al-‘Aqabah (2)A year later, they came again — this time, with 75 people.It was the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah, 13 years after revelation began.They came by night, secretly, when all the other pilgrims were asleep. This time, they didn't just want to learn Islam. They invited the Prophet ﷺ to migrate to their city, to Yathrib.They said:“It is unfair for us to be living in peace while our Prophet is being persecuted. Join us. Let us protect you.”The Prophet ﷺ said:“If I migrate to you, this pledge must not be just religious. It must also be political. You must defend me like you defend your own families.”One of them asked:“When Islam succeeds, will you leave us and return to Mecca?”The Prophet ﷺ replied:“Your blood is my blood. Your destruction is my destruction. We are one.”And one by one, all 75 pledged their allegiance. Then they all heard a loud scream from the middle of the desert.Rasulullah ﷺ said:“That scream you just heard — that was the scream of Iblis. He is furious that Islam has found a way out of Mecca.”The Road OpensFrom that point, the Prophet ﷺ began advising Muslims to migrate, one group at a time. Quietly, Muslims left Mecca and made their way to Yathrib.Eventually, the Prophet ﷺ himself made hijrah. He left Mecca a few months later, in Rabi‘ al-Awwal, and arrived in Yathrib — soon to be renamed al-Madinah al-Munawwarah.This moment changed everything.Islam went from being an oppressed minority to a rising force of justice — spreading across Arabia, and soon, to much of the world.That night — the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah, 1,447 years ago — in the small valley of Mina, the road to hijrah began.It wasn't part of the Hajj rituals —But it was written into the destiny of this Ummah.That's all for tonight's episode of Road to Hajj.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 39 When the people differ, the son of Sumayyah (raa) - Hadrat Am'maar ibn Yaasir [ra] will be with the Truth (Ahmad).

On this episode of Noorayn: The Two Lights Podcast, Aseel and Sumayyah give tips on how to set goals for this Ramadan!

Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 37 The Battle of Siffeen Hafiz Ibn Kathir (rah) had related, Some of the men who had been present at Badr stayed in their dwellings after the murder of Hadrat Uthmaan (ra) and never left until they went to their graves. (Al Bidaayah) Ash-Sha`bee (rah) had related, "Only a few Companions were present at the Battle of the Camel Hadrat Alee (ra), Hadrat Am'maar (ra), Hadrat Talha (ra) and Hadrat Zubayr (ra) (Ibn Abi Shaihbah). Abdullah ibn Ahmad (rah) related from his father Imam Ahmad (rah) who related from Ismaa'eel ibn Aaliyah (rah) who related from Ay'yoob as- Sakthtiyaanee (rah) who related from Muhammad ibn Seereen (rah), "When the Fitnah arose, the Glorious Companions numbered in there tens of thousands - yet less than a mere hundred got involved indeed their number was barely thirty." (Ahmad - Musnad "This Chain is one of the soundest Chains on the face of the earth and Muhammad ibn Seereen [rah] is one of the most pious people in his speech and his reports are the soundest). Alee (ra) stared "How smart was the stance taken by Sa'ad ibn Maalik (ra) and Abdullah ibn Umar (ra) for if it is correct, the reward will be great and if wrong then the consequence will not be serious." (Al-Haithami Majma Az-zawaa'id). "The Messenger ﷺ said to Am'maar (ra) whilst digging the ditch, as he ﷺ began to pass his hand over his head - in love and affection. "What a trouble to the son of Sumayyah (raa)! A rebellious party will kill you!" (Muslim).

We spend a lot of time on screens these days, whether it's for work, social media, or just relaxing with a show. It's easy to lose track of time, and hours can pass before we know it. But how much is too much? What exactly is the impact on our health and daily lives? In this episode, I talk with Sumayyah Emeh-Edu, Founder of Embedded Consulting. We discuss the impacts of excessive screen time and social media on mental health and the importance of connecting with people around us. Sumayyah shares her struggles with social media and how she observed its impact on her friends and family. Tune in to hear her insights! --- Listen to the podcast here: How to Break Free from Screen Time Overload with Sumayyah Emeh-Edu Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. And, today, I want to talk to you about a topic that's really near and dear to my heart, as in I know I have my own initiative around this, which is cutting down on people's screen time. I think you've probably seen in the news that we do have a lot of problems associated with the excessive amount of time in front of screens and people come up with different numbers depending on which particular study you're using or if you're considering phones, TVs, computers, and everything as well, but, regardless, it seems out of control and anyone that's old enough to remember the world before smartphones and everything took it over can remember a world where we spent a lot more time relating to each other in person as well as doing things not in front of some form of digital technology and it's hard not to make a clear connection between that and a lot of the mental health and loneliness issues that we're experiencing today. So, today, I'd like to bring on someone who is kind of taking on an initiative in the same vein, in the same realm, Sumayyah Emeh-Edu, the founder of Embedded Consulting LLC. ---   Sumayyah, welcome to the program.   Thank you, Stephen. Nice to be here.    Yeah, thank you so much, and thank you so much for connecting because it's always great to meet and connect with anyone else who's kind of observed the same issue. So why don't you start by telling me your story about kind of when you first started observing this whole issue, I think it was roughly maybe 15 years ago-ish that we all started in mass adopting these smartphones and excessive social media and the changes started to be visible in everyday life, regardless of whether or not you saw it as a problem.    Yeah. So, I was on Myspace back in the day, 2008 I got onto Facebook, and I didn't really see it as a problem. I was just like, “Wow, this is awesome.” There was a couple documentaries that came out around like 2014, 2015 that I had watched. There was also a lot of ethical folks and whistleblowers that were coming out of all of the big tech companies. And it was just information I digested but, like most people, I'm like, “Well, that does affect me,” and I would say a majority of my time was spent on Facebook. Twitter was always too fast and I wasn't even on Instagram at that point, and I had already been a person who didn't have, for instance, social media notifications in my email and on my phone because it just takes up space and I just hate my inbox just filled with a bunch of junk, but I had been in higher education most of my early career and then I made the transition into diversity, equity, and inclusion in 2015-ish, and it was just interesting because the election was going on, the first election with Trump, and it was a lot of negativity, a lot of just ridiculousness going on from a political perspective. And then, on top of it, I was doing diversity, equity, and inclusion work and I was deeply impacted when I would see injustices go viral or, unfortunately, the murder of a black man go viral, and so when I heard all of this thing about how social media is addictive, how it can impact your mood, and again,
