The Prophet’s ﷺ Journey to Taif
For nine years, since his selection by Allah for His mission, the Prophet ﷺ had been delivering the message of Allah in Mecca and making all efforts to guide and reform his community. Excepting a few persons who had either embraced Islam or who helped him though not accepting his creed, all the rest in Mecca left no stone unturned in persecuting and deriding him and his followers. His uncle Abu Talib was one of those goodhearted people who helped him, in spite of his not entering into the fold of Islam.
