The story you are about to read, ‘Khabbab bin AI-Aratt ~ – The Teacher’, is an inspiring story
of the life of one o fT slam’s earliest converters. He was one of the weak and oppressed slaves who
accepted Islam in its early days in Makkah. He patiently persevered through the tortures and
persecution he received for the cause of Islam. He was one of the few people who could read,
and thus he used his knowledge to teach Muslims how to read the Noble Qur’an. He truly dedicated
his entire life to support the cause of Allah and His Messenger.
Khabbab bin Al-Aratt , He was taken as a slave while he was still a boy and sold in the slave market to a
midwife in Makkah. When he became a young man, he was spending most of his day before a
furnace melting steel to make swords and spears. When Islam entered his heart, he became an
example of sacrifice and devotion in defending the message of Islam. Let us read about this great man, and try to learn a lesson through his struggle. We are in great need to learn how such great men built a
state and civilization that ruled many parts of the world for hundreds of years.
