Rasulullah(S)then invited them to join them. Al(R)wanted to ask his father about joining them in the prayer, but rasulullah(S)had not yet made his mission public. He told Ali(R)that he had to make up his own mind, since he did not

Introduction Allah created me he did not consult my father, so why should I consult my father in order to serve Allah? ” On that day Ali(R)became the 3 rd person to join Islam. Growing up in the household of Rasulullah(S)- copying his speech, his actions, his attitudes- greatly influenced Ali’s life. To the inheritance of a noble and religious family he added vigor, intelligence, strength, and insight. Soon, Rasulullah(S)was commanded to invited his nearest relatives to Islam.

Growing up in the home of the Prophet Then, come here in Madinah” Ali did exactly what he was told, and indeed, the men surrounded the house but did not come in, instead they peeked through the window. When they knew he would come out of his house, and planned to kill them then. The real Mohammed(S) walked out the door, right past them. Allah(S) sealed their eyes, and they did not see him at all. Meanwhile, it was Ali who slept on the bed. In the morning when he opened the door, the killers were frustrated that their plan has been foiled.
