Lesson 7

The Thoughtful Prophet to Medina

                [1]Mohammed lived in Mecca in the early 600s. [3]Sadly, he was not fond of the mean mammoth city of Mecca, because it had too many people and idols. [5]Because Mohammed, who was restless, did not like residing in Mecca all the time, he often ventured to the desert when he was overwhelmed, because he wanted peace without noise people and gods. [2]During this time he went. [6]He glanced. He stopped. He looked back! Mohammed astonishingly beheld a magnificent angel which told him, “You are to be the blessed prophet for Allah!”

                [4]Traveling, Mohammed, who was relieved, walked happily to Mecca, where he taught the people about Allah. Some people believed but others did not and they rebuked him. Among those who hated Mohammed were the merchants. They hated Mohammed because it was his fault that the people stopped buying idols from them. [1]Mohammed soon discovered that the merchants sought to kill him. [5]Because of this Mohammed sprinted to a massive cave like an athlete. [6]He ran. He stopped. He breathed. He was exhausted! Sweat and blood poured down his face and body!

                [2]During this time, the malicious mutilated mob searched thoroughly through the creepy cavernous cave. [3]Thankfully, one man, who thought he was astute, hollered, “He’s definitely not in here! There’s a spider web at the entrance! If he was in here he would have broken it!” So the people sought him elsewhere. Meanwhile, Mohammed felt quite relieved. [4]Thinking thoughtfully, Mohammed traveled to Medina where he was well received like water is to a flower in the desert.
