Conveying of the Message Continues

After the battle of Uhud, in the fourth year after the Emigration, the Muslims living in Medina had grown much more powerful. The enemies of Islam had also grown much more dangerous, and were getting ready to attack every chance they got. Our Prophet continued to take defense and protection precautions against the enemies, on one hand, and teach people about Islam and invite others to embrace faith, on the other. The area of conveying the message and guiding the believers to a stronger faith grew wider with each passing day as they reached new people and faces. They did whatever they needed to do, whether it be learning a new language or sending a messenger to a new place.

That year Ali and Fatima’s second son was born. The birth of his grandson, Husayn, had made our Prophet very happy. When speaking of his beloved grandsons Hasan and Husayn, he would say, “They are my two sweet-smelling flowers in this world.”
