Hamzah confronts Abu Jahal Striding into the Mosque...

Hamzah confronts Abu Jahal Striding into the Mosque, he made straight for the seated Abu Jahal and standing over him, he raised his bow and brought it down with all his force on his face. Knocking the wicked man senseless over onto his back on the ground. Again and again he whipped the wretched man on his body with his bow, until his angre subsided. When finally he stopped and still standing over the crouched enemy of God at his feet, he said.

“Wilt thou insult him, now that I am of his Religion, and now that I vouch what he vouched? I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger! Strike me then, blow for blow, if thou canst.” The humiliated Abu Jahal recovered his senses and cowered before the Lion of the desert still standing menacingly over him. So when some of the Makhzumites tribesmen present rose to their feet as if to help him (Abu-Jahl), but he quickly motioned them to remain seated.

Then still crouched on the ground at the Arabian warrior’s feet, not daring to look up into Hamzah’s striking eyes. Instead the miserable coward humbly said: “Let Abu Umarah be! For by God, I did so reviled his brother’s son with a right ugly reviling.” There was a deafening silence as Hamzah stood menacingly before all the leaders of Quraysh starring with contempt at each one of them coldly in the eye. Inviting anyone who dared to fight him.

But, each man slowly retreated and sat back in their seat in the Mosque. And, when all were seated, Hamza kicked some dust of the sandy floor into their faces and strolled out casually with his bow in hand. Abu-Sufayan the most influential of all the leaders of Quraysh seated remarked. “Muhammad now has a powerful ally, who everyone fears just by reputation!” From that day on, Hamzah faithfully maintained his Islam and followed all the Prophet’s behests.

So, Abu-Sufayan conversion failed to have its effect upon Quraysh as a whole. Who were now more hesitant to harass The Holy (PBUHH) so directly, knowing fully well that Hamzah, ‘the Lion of the Desert’ would not lie still and certainly would protect him vigorously.
