THE FIRST MOSQUE
FOR three days and three nights Muhammad (p b u h) lived in a cave
not far from Mecca. Many a time his enemies came to look for him and
once they were so near the mouth of the cave that ABU BEKR felt the
danger.
“Grieve not” said the prophet, “Allah is with us.”
And He was. Their own eyes deceived
Therefore they could not see the prophet and his friend sitting before
them. They went
Away disappointed.
And then they set a prize of hundred camels for one how would capture
Muhammad
(Pbuh)But no one could molest the prophet how proceeded to Medina.
And on his way he built a mosque at kabaa. Along with other labourers
Muhammad (pbuh) carried on his shoulders the huge stones and set them
in the walls. Thus was erected the first mosque in the history of
Islam.
