was commented upon in the Qur’an, God said, on
the contrary, that He had given them a ‘clear

This meant that despite their apparent political
defeat, the Muslims had achieved a moral victory,
which would in the end result in total victory, etc.

an individual who was free from all negative
thoughts. He may without doubt be called the

of Islam left Makkah for Madinah, he was
accompanied only by Abu Bakr Siddiq. This was a

Prophet took every possible precaution. Although
he had to go to Makkah, he went in the opposite
direction, and reached the cave of Thaur, where he
stayed with Abu Bakr for a few days.
