Khadijah knew that this was some-
thing very special, but she did not
know what it meant. So she took
Nabi
Muhammad [s] to her cousin
Waraqa bin Nawfal, who was a wise
and learned Christian.
He smiled excitedly when he heard
her story. “
It is the same message
that Allah sent to Nabi Musa [a]
,”
Waraqa told them. “
It means that
Muhammad is the Prophet of our
people. Be happy, O Muhammad,
for this is good news indeed
.”
But then Waraqa looked sadly at
the Prophet [s] and said, “
No man
has ever brought the message you
bring without being opposed. Your
people will call you a liar, and they
will cast you out and fight against
you. Truly, if I live to see that day, I
will help you all I can, even though I
am an old man.
”
