Prophet Mohammed -saww left this world, succumbing to the poisoned, on the 28 th of Safar, at the age of 63 years. [8] The remainder of the article, archives a brief timeline of the some of the most significant events in Islam.

Da’wat dhi ‘l-‘ashíra (Feast of the Clan): Year 9 of Elephant (6 Before Hijra) [9] When the Verse of the Holy Quran ‘ And warn your nearest relations ’ (26:214) was revealed, Rasool Allah -saww organised a feast which is known as “the Feast of the Clan” ( Da’wat dhi ‘l-‘ashíra ). This is the first time that Rasool Allah -saww openly and publicly called the relatives to accept him -saww as the Messenger and Prophet of Allah -azwj .

It is also the same feast in which Rasool Allah -saww declared ‘Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws very clearly, and very explicitly as his -saww successor and caliph, e.g., a Hadith on Da’wat dhi ‘l-‘ashíra, The narrator of the Hadith says: Imam Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws said: ‘When this Verse was Revealed [26:214] And warn your nearest relations , Rasool-Allah -saww called me -asws and said: “‘O Ali -asws ! Allah -azwj has Commanded me -saww that I -saww should warn my -saww near relatives.

But I -saww have been patient after recognising their unwillingness to accept it (the religion of Allah -azwj ). So I -saww remained silent until Jibraeel -as came to me -saww and said: ‘O Mohammed -saww !

Do what you -saww have been asked for.’ So (Ya Ali -asws ) make for us a Sa’a (a unit of measurement) of food, and place upon it a leg of lamb, and fill for us a cup of milk, and gather for me -saww the Clan of Abdul Muttalib -asws and I -saww will let them know and deliver to them what I -saww have been Commanded to.” ‘So, I -asws did what I -asws had been ordered with. Then I -asws invited them to Rasool Allah -saww . There were, in those days, forty of them.

Among them were his -saww uncles Abu Talib -asws , and Hamza -asws , and Al-Abbas, and Abu Lahab -la . When they gathered to Rasool Allah -saww , he -saww called for the food which I -asws had prepared for them. So, I -asws came up with it. When I -asws had placed it, Rasool-Allah -saww took a part of the meat, and tore it and then placed it by the side of the platter. Then Rasool Allah -saww said: ‘Eat in the Name of Allah -azwj !’ So, the people ate until they had no (further) need of it.
