Methods of social confrontation with the Prophet (PBUH) and his family, peace be upon them, in the first century, a historical analytical study

Abstract

The first century AH, up to the year 63 AH, witnessed a period filled with challenges and major transformations in the history of Islam and Muslims. This period was filled with various methods of confrontation against the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) and his family, peace be upon them. These events and others represented fundamental points of reference in understanding the nature and methods of social confrontation, ranging from confrontations with polytheists, People of the Book, and hypocrites, to attempts to distort and marginalize the Prophet and his family. These confrontations focused on attempts to weaken the influence of the Prophet and his family and limit their spiritual influence, which was growing significantly.
