The Immigration of the

Prophet Muhammad

Introduction

• Upon God’s order Prophet Muhammad emigrated To Madinah, a city in Saudi Arabia. He had to emigrate for the heavy torture and persecution staged on him and his followers. In the new city he established his state from which the torch of Islam was carried to the farthest corners in the world, this great event is foretold in Isaiah, 21:13-17

" The oracle concerning Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge, O caravans of Dedanites. To the thirsty bring water, meet the fugitive with bread, O inhabitants of the land of Tema. For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the press of battle. For thus the Lord said to me:

'Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end; and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.' " Isaiah, 21:13-17

This prophecy talks about:

•The emigration of a certain prophet •The location of his emigration•The persecution he would suffer• Attempts on his life •The prophet’s war against his enemies •His victory over his enemy within one year

the New Call, it says

" The oracle concerning Arabia.”

This verse is a strong reference to Prophet

Muhammad as no other prophet was sent in

the Arabia but prophet Mohammed.

In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge, O caravans of Dedanites.

Abraham, The Prophet Mohammed was among the

lineage of Dadan . In his emigration Prophet

Muhammad spent many nights in the desert .

The Prophecy says:

To the thirsty bring water, meet the fugitive with bread… For

they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword

The thirsty and the fugitive here is Prophet Mohammed, who spent many days in the burning desert. He was fugitive because he fled from an attempt on his life but God told him about it and ordered him to emigrate to the city of Madina to establish the new Islamic state

On the eve of emigration, there was a machination to

murder him. Twenty sword men were appointed to kill

him So, he fled from the swords and the bent blow and

the eminent wars that were about to be launched

'Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end;

Kedar was the grandfather of the enemies of the prophet

The mighty men of Kedar were killed just one year after the emigration of the prophet

One year after the emigration of Prophet Mohammed, the enemies of Prophet Mohammed launched a war against him.In this war the leaders of the enemies were crushingly defeated .

The prophecy says “….and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few…”

In this battle, known as Badar, seventy enemies of the prophet were killed, they were among the sons of Kedar, the son of Ismail. In this battle the number of the Muslim warrior were fewer than their enmities but by the grace of God, they were the triumphant
