Within a month and half, after Abu-Talib’s demise, Lady Khadijah, the beloved and dedicated wife of the Prophet, also passed away on the 10th of Ramazan. The grief of the passing of these two dear ones was so heavy on the heart of the Prophet, that he called that year “A’am al-Hozn” or “The Year of Sorrow.”
After Abu-Talib’s demise, the angel Gabriel told the Prophet in revelation to migrate from Mecca, as he had now lost his supporter and backbone, Abu-Talib. The Prophet would frequently travel outside Mecca, from one place to another, to invite the Arab clans to Islam and seek their support. However, none accepted his call, and were not willing to put themselves in trouble by supporting the Prophet against the powerful tribe of Quraysh. The Prophet also travelled to Taif, a city close to Mecca, to invite its people to Islam. This trip took around 26 days and no one from Taif accepted the Prophet’s call. When the Prophet was leaving Taif, some people harassed him by using abusive and insulting language and threw stones at him.
During this period, the Quraysh found a suitable opportunity to put pressure on the Prophet, and increase their harassments. They did not dare to physically hurt or insult the Prophet while Abu-Talib was alive. The Prophet would often remember his beloved uncle by saying "O my uncle, how soon I feel your absence”. Once, one of the Quraysh dumped dirt on the Prophet’s head. The Prophet returned home and his daughter, Lady Fatimah (SA), began crying when she saw her father’s face. The Prophet calmed her and told her that God protects her father. The Prophet continued by saying that “the Quraysh did not dare to harass me as long as Abu-Talib was alive.”
The Prophet continued his invitation to Islam, despite all the calamities and hardships. Hajj and Umrah seasons were a great opportunity for the Prophet to meet the people who had travelled to Mecca for pilgrimage and invite them to Islam. Eventually, a group of people from Medina converted to Islam, and their faith and support became the grounds for the Prophet’s migration to Medina, about 3 years after Abu-Talib's demise. The Prophet migrated to Medina on the very night that the Quraysh leaders had decided to attack his home and assassinate him. The Quraysh would not have dared to assassinate the Prophet as long as Abu-Talib was alive.
After Abu-Talib’s demise, the Prophet missed and remembered his beloved uncle and asked for God’s blessing and mercy on his soul on various occasions. When the Prophet migrated to Medina, he established an Islamic government and many joined Islam. The Prophet would never forget Abu-Talib, his number one supporter and protector in Mecca, at a time when he was surrounded by enemies, and the Muslims were in minority. The Prophet would also frequently remember Abu-Talib’s poetry, in which he had praised the Prophet and had predicted his victory.
Once, when the Prophet was in Medina, a drought hit the region. The Prophet went on the pulpit
