Who was al-Miqdad? <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


\nAl-Miqdad belonged to Kunda’s tribe. He escaped from his tribe and inhabited Makkah.<\/span><\/p>\n

There he belonged to a man called al-Aswad bin Abid Yaqut al-Zuhry. So, people called him al-Miqdad bin al-Aswad. In connection with al-Miqdad, this verse came down from the sky:<\/span><\/p>\n

Call them with their fathers’ names<\/span><\/p>\n

For this reason, people called him al-Miqdad bin al-Aswad. <\/span><\/p>\n

Islam rose from the top of the Hiraa Mount.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al-Miqdad became twenty-four years old. He heard about our Master Muhammad’s mission. He hurried to believe in the new religion.<\/span><\/p>\n

He kept his Islam a secret. He met our Master Muhammad [s] secretly. Thus, he was among the earlier Muslims. He always felt the Muslims’ sufferings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Migration<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\nOur Master Muhammad [s] ordered his companions to immigrate to Madina. They immigrated one by one or group by group.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Allah, the Glorified, ordered His Apostle to immigrate to Madina.<\/span><\/p>\n

Al-Miqdad rejoiced at the safety of Allah’s Apostle. He admired the Muslim young man Ali bin Abu-Talib [a] who sacrificed his life to save our Master Muhammad [s] from polytheists’ swords<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

When our Master Muhammad [s] immigrated to Madina, the polytheists attacked and robbed the Muslims’ houses. So, our Master Muhammad [s] thought about threatening the Quraishi trade caravan as a punishment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamza bin Abdul-Muttalib headed the first company and went towards al-Ays area near the Red Sea. There he met the polytheistic troops headed by Abu Jahal.<\/span><\/p>\n

No fight took place because some Arab leaders mediated between the two parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Shawwal, 1 A.H., another company went out. The number of the company was sixty fighters. Its aim was to get to Rabgh Valley to threaten the Quraishi trade road between Makkah and Shaam.<\/span><\/p>\n
