Prophet Muhammad Arrives to Madinah

At last, the happy day arrived! The men, who were watching the desert every day, looking for signs of the travelers, saw dust rising in the distance!

As the figures drew closer, it became clear that there were two of them!

And then, when they drew even closer, it was clear that finally the blessed Prophet (peace be upon him) had arrived!

The news spread quickly throughout the town.

People in their shops, in the market, and in their homes heard the news that the Prophet (peace be upon him) had arrived. Everyone rushed to welcome the Prophet (peace be upon him)!

They sang songs of joy, prayed, and followed him (peace be upon him) as he entered the city.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) humbly allowed his camel to be guided by Allah Almighty to the place where he would stay.

Everyone wanted the blessing of having the Prophet (peace be upon him) stay with them, so letting the camel stop where it chose showed the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) great mercy and wisdom.

There were many more trials to come, but the Muslims, now in Madinah, had the Prophet (peace be upon him) with them.

He was teaching them, advising them, and guiding them. Living in his midst was a great blessing, and they knew it.

They attended to their duties, gathered with him (peace be upon him), and grew in faith.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) had left the city he loved so well, seeking the pleasure of Allah.

And now, in Madinah, he (peace be upon him) continued to seek His pleasure and proclaim the message of Islam.
