Historical Account
Now that the disposition of the Holy Prophetsa had settled and calmed, he began to invite people to the unity of God, the Most High, and propogated teachings against polytheism. In the beginning, the Holy Prophetsa did not preach his mission openly; rather, he began this process with extreme silence and kept his teachings confined to his close circle of friends.
