00:00Long ago, a little baby boy named Mus'ab ibn Umair was born in one of the richest tribes
00:14of the Quraysh in Mecca.
00:17When Mus'ab was a little boy, his father died and left lots of money, assets and properties.
00:27So Mus'ab became very rich from his childhood.
00:33To understand how much money Mus'ab had, if you took all the money from the people of
00:41Mecca, little baby Mus'ab had half of all that money to himself.
00:50Unfortunately, Mus'ab was so rich, he was like a famous celebrity of Mecca.
00:58One day Mus'ab heard about Prophet Muhammad's message.
01:05At that time, the Muslims would secretly meet at Darul Arqam and many of them were really
01:11poor.
01:12But Mus'ab knew that the Prophet Muhammad was an honest man.
01:20So instead of making fun of him like all the other rich people of Mecca, Mus'ab decided
01:27to talk to the Prophet because he had some questions.
01:31When he came in, all the Muslims were shocked.
01:36But they welcomed young Mus'ab and the Prophet helped him understand Islam.
01:45And right away, he decided to become a Muslim.
01:50From that moment, every night he secretly went to Darul Arqam to learn more about Islam.
01:56But one day, a spy saw him and told Mus'ab's mother.
02:02Mus'ab's mother became very angry.
02:08She decided to chain him in his own house and hid him from his own family.
02:15One day Mus'ab heard that a group of Muslims were planning to escape to Abyssinia, which
02:23is modern day utopia.
02:25Mus'ab also planned to escape.
02:30He waited until the guard fell asleep and broke his chains and traveled to Abyssinia.
02:36In Abyssinia, he got married to Hamanna, who was the future sister-in-law of the Prophet.
02:43After some time, the Quraysh started a rumor to trick the Muslims to come back to Mecca.
02:50This time when Mus'ab met his mom, she told him that if he did not leave Islam, she would
02:58take away everything from him.
03:01But Mus'ab stayed strong to his faith and did not leave Islam.
03:07So he became very poor.
03:10He had no money, no clothes, no shoes, nothing of his own.
03:17Since he did not have proper clothing, he had sores all over his body.
03:23Other Sahabas felt very bad for his situation.
03:26Many years passed by and 11 years after Islam came, a small group from Medina came for Hajj.
03:34They liked the Prophet's message and wanted him to come to Medina with them.
03:39But the Prophet could not leave without Allah's permission.
03:46So Prophet Muhammad chose Mus'ab as Islam's first official ambassador.
03:55So he could go to Medina and spread Islam.
03:58Mus'ab was doing such an amazing job that many, many people in Medina started to become Muslims.
04:09In Medina, there were two big tribes or groups, the Aus and Khazraj.
04:15The leaders of those tribes got really worried.
04:19They were trying to stop Mus'ab and ordered him to leave Medina.
04:25But Mus'ab did not leave Medina.
04:29So one of the tribe leaders decided to kill him.
04:33But Mus'ab was very nice to him and nicely asked him to put down his weapon.
04:40Then he explained to him about Islam.
04:43And right away, with Allah's blessing, the leader became a Muslim too.
04:50The other tribe leaders also wanted to kill him.
04:53Seeing the beauty of Islam, he also became a Muslim.
04:58Now before Islam came, the two tribes would always fight with each other.
05:03But after both of the tribe's leaders became Muslims, their fighting stopped.
05:09And more people from the tribes also quickly started to become Muslims, making Medina Muslim
05:14majority for the first time in history.
05:19Exactly one year later, Mus'ab met the Prophet again during Hajj time.
05:25And this time, he brought 75 Muslims from Medina to Mecca.
05:31The Prophet was so surprised that Mus'ab did his job so well.
05:40At this point, the Muslims in Medina knew that in Mecca, the Quraysh were extremely mean to
05:46the Muslims.
05:47So they wanted the Prophet and all the Muslims to come to Medina.
05:52They also promised to protect the Prophet and all the Muslims.
05:57This meant that finally, after so many years, the Muslims got their safe place to follow
06:03Allah's law and order because of Mus'ab .
06:10So little by little, the Muslims secretly went to Medina.
06:14And because of Mus'ab , when it was finally time for the Prophet to come, the entire
06:23town of Medina was so excited to see him even though many of them had never seen him before.
06:31Mus'ab was so special that during the battlefield, the Prophet chose him to hold the Muslims flag,
06:39which was a very special honor.
06:41And during the battle of Uhud, when the Muslims got in trouble, Mus'ab quickly waved the Muslim
06:48flag in front of the enemies to distract them to protect Prophet Muhammad .
06:55During that battle, when the Quraysh spread the rumor that the Prophet had died, Mus'ab
07:01, who encouraged the others to continue fighting for the truth.
07:07Since he was in front of the battlefield with the flag, the bad Quraysh cut off his hand.
07:12So he held the flag with his other hand, but they also cut off his other hand too.
07:17And even though he was in a loss of pain, Mus'ab decided to pick the flag up with his teeth.
07:25The bad Quraysh kept on hurting him with spears and swords until he finally died.
07:31The bad Quraysh were not satisfied, so they started to chop off different parts of his body.
07:37After the battle ended, when the Prophet saw Mus'ab , he started to cry.
07:45Mus'ab died in such a terrible way, but still the flag that the Prophet gave him was still
07:52in between his teeth.
07:54When the Muslims were trying to bury him, his legs were sticking out because he was so poor,
07:59he only had half of a cloth.
08:01So they used lemon grass to cover up his body.
08:04When he died, the only thing he had was just one bowl that he used for wudu and showering.
08:10Mus'ab ibn Umair , the famous rich boy who had everything that anyone could ever want,
08:18but gave it all away for Islam.
08:21He knew that this world is only a test and he was happy to sacrifice everything to please
08:27Allah .
08:30His faith in Islam was so strong that he became the world's first Muslim ambassador and was
08:36able to make Madinah into the world's first Muslim majority city within only one year.
08:43He created Madinah as a safe place for the Muslims during the most difficult time of Islam
08:49and saved the Muslim Ummah from the evil Quraysh.
08:53The Prophet Muhammad was so pleased with him that Mus'ab had one of the highest honours
09:02of carrying the Muslim flag in the battlefield.
09:04And finally, Mus'ab's story teaches us that if we are a true Muslim, we should be willing
09:13to sacrifice everything for Islam because at the end of the day, this world is a test
09:20and only temporary, and what truly matters is the hereafter.
