Adas replied, “I have come
from Nainawa” (a region in Iraq
presently known as Kerbala.
The Prophet
asked, “Have
you heard of the Prophet
Yunus?”
Adas said, “Yes!
Yunus was a Prophet.
But why have you
mentioned his name to me?”
The Prophet replied, “I, like Yunus, also
am a Prophet and have come from the One
God for the guidance of mankind.”
Adas had already heard before of
the truthfulness and trustworthiness
of Prophet Muhammad
. Now
he became attracted towards him
because of his kindness and good
character. With tearful eyes he
said:
“Oh Muhammad I put my faith in
your Prophethood, because no one
would be willing to face such torture
and
trouble unless he was on the right path and had
come to lead
others on the path!”
This is how
Adas, a pagan
unbelieving Arab accepted
the religion
of Islam whilst
under
the shadow
of a grape tree and
joined the
Islamic brotherhood.
Thus Islam spread
gradually,
not with compulsion or
at
the point of a sword,
but
through noble character
and
kindness of Prophet
Muhammad
ﷺ.
