Contents Hamzah Hamzah and Abu Jahal Hamzah enteres Mecca Hamzah confronts Abu Jahal The Present work aims to give a brief introduction to Hamzah and how he protected the Holy Prophet (PBUHH) in his Divine Mission. Hamzah His complete name was Hamzah ibn Abdul-Muttalib. His Kunyah was Abu Umarah and titled Sayyed al-Shuhadah (The Master of all Martyrs).

His Father was Abdul-Muttalib and her mother name was Fatimah. He was born in 568 A.D. His brothers were Abdullah (the father of the Prophet), Abu Talib (the father of Imam Ali), Abu Lahab and Abbass. He was the uncle and foster brother to the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUHH) for he was suckled and weaned by the same foster parents. Hamzah was clearly destined to be a man of great mighty stature, endowed with great physical strength.

He was already a good horseman, skilled with a sword and a good wrestler in all of Mecca. On one of his desert trips, Hamzah was awakened by a noise. Only to see a lion had entered his camp. No doubt drawn to the smell of the freshly killed gazzell. Alone and armed with only a javelin, he not only fought off the lion bravely but in the process, he killed the king of the beasts. Which he later skinned the lion and threw it over his saddle and rode into Mecca triumphantly.

When the people of Mecca saw the lion’s skin, they were greatly awed with admiration and love that from that day on, he was warmly known as the ‘Lion of the desert’. His enemies grew to fear him, even on the mention of his name, he was held in great respect. Hamzah and Abu Jahal Abu Jahal was the most spiteful of all the leaders of Quraysh and the most aggressive enemy to the holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUHH) and Islam.

One day, when the Prophet (PBUHH) was sitting outside the Mosque near the Safa Gate, he (PBUHH) was alone at this hallowed place when Abu Jahal came.
