~ Ali ibn Abi Talib RA ~

Adi Ibn Hatim RA

In the ninth year of the Hijra, an Arab king made the first positive moves to Islam after years of feeling hatred for it. He drew closer to faith (Iman) after opposing and combating it. And he finally pledged allegiance to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), after his adamant refusal to do so.

He was Adiyy, son of the famous Hatim at-Taai who was known far and wide for his chivalry and fabulous generosity. Adiyy inherited the domain of his father and was confirmed in the position by the Tayy people. Part of his strength lay in the fact that a quarter of any amount they obtained as booty from raiding expeditions had to be given to him.

When the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) announced openly his call to guidance and truth and Arabs from one region after another accepted his teachings, Adiyy saw in his mission a threat to his position and leadership. Although he did not know the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam personally, and had never seen him, he developed strong feelings of enmity towards him. He remained antagonistic to Islam for close upon twenty years until at last Allah opened his heart to the religion of truth and guidance.

The way in which Adiyy became a Muslim is a remarkable story and he is perhaps the best person to relate it. He said: "There was no man among the Arabs who detested Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), more than I, when I heard about him. I was then a man of status and nobility. I was a Christian. From my people I took a fourth of their booty as was the practice of other Arab kings. read more

* More photos of captured prisoners cause outcry: Vanquished ... a photo from a Facebook page established by Breaking the Silence shows Israeli soldiers, their faces blurred, posing beside a captured Palestinian.

* Criticism is mounting of France's move to expel hundreds of Roma gypsies, with Romania warning of a xenophobic reaction and the EU calling on France to obey migration rules.

* The United States has joined the chorus of disapproval of proposed changes to South Africa's media laws that some campaigners have likened to the draconian press curbs of the apartheid era.

* Government says it will not increase its offer to public servants who embarked on a strike Wednesday. Schools were most severely affected on the first day of the strike.
