620 - MUHAMMAD (Ayat# 01-03)
The period following the initial revelations to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ marked a shift from peaceful propagation to increasing conflict with the Quraysh. This era witnessed attempts to suppress the message of Islam and persecute its early followers, including figures like Yasir and Umm Umayya. Despite facing immense opposition, the nascent Muslim community persevered, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity. The Quranic verses of Surah Al-Baqarah reflect the responses of those who opposed the faith, highlighting their hypocrisy and ultimately, the futility of their efforts against divine will. This phase culminated in preparations for a larger struggle, moving from passive resistance to a more active defense of the faith. Surah Muhammad and Surah Al-Fath signify a transition, foreshadowing the ultimate triumph of Islam and the opening of new horizons for its message. The Quran emphasizes that those who disbelieve will ultimately face the consequences of their actions, while those who believe and perform righteous deeds will be rewarded by Allah.
