Prophet Muhammad(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) part 2 :

A) Muhammad's(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) marriage to Khadijah(radhi Allahu anha) :

When Muhammad(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was twenty five years old, he travelled once more to Syria as a factor of a noble and rich Quraishi widow named Khadijah; and, having proved himself faithful in the commercial interests of that lady, he(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was soon rewarded with her hand in marriage. This marriage proved fortunate and singularly happy. Khadijah(radhi Allahu anha) was much the senior of her husband, but in spite of the disparity of age between them, the most tender devotion on both sides existed. This marriage gave him the loving heart of a woman who was ever ready to console him(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) in his despair and to keep alive within him the feeble, flickering(blinking) flame of hope when no man believed in him and the world appeared gloomy in his eyes.

B) Troubled, lawless times for the Makkans :

Until he(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) reached thirty years of age, Muhammad(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was almost a stranger to the outside world. Since the death of his grandfather, authority in Mecca was divided among the ten senators(members of council) who constituted the governing body of the Arabian Commonwealth. There was no such accord(agreement) among them as to ensure the safety of individual rights and property. Though family relations afforded
some degree of protection to citizens, yet strangers were frequently exposed to persecution(ill treatment) and oppression. In many cases they were robbed, not only of their goods, but even of their wives and daughters. At the instigation(suggestion) of the faithful Muhammad(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), an old league called the Federation of Fudul, i.e., favors was revived with the object of repressing(suppressing) lawlessness(which was common in that land) and defending every weak individual - whether Meccan or stranger, free or slave - against any wrong or oppression to which
he might be the victim within the territories of Mecca.

When Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) reached thirty-five years, he settled by his judgement a grave dispute(conflict), which threatened to plunge (pushing) the whole of Arabia into a fresh series of her oft-recurring wars. In rebuilding the Sacred House of the Ka'ba in A.D. 605, the question arose as to who should have the honor of raising the black stone(al-Hajar al-Aswad), the most holy relic (historical object) of that House, into its proper place. Each tribe claimed that honor. The senior citizen advised the disputants to accept for their arbitrator (judge) the first man to enter from a certain gate. The proposal was agreed upon, and the first man who entered the gate was Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)"Al-Ameen." His advice satisfied all the claiming parties. He(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) ordered the stone to be placed on a piece of cloth and each tribe to share the honor of lifting it up by taking hold of a part of the cloth. The stone was thus deposited in its place, and the rebuilding of the House was completed without further interruption.

C) Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) prevents intention of the Romans to control Makka :

It is related that, about this time, a certain Usman, Ibn Huwairith, supported by Byzantine gold, made an attempt to convert the territory of Hijaz(is a region in the west of present-day Saudi Arabia) into a Roman dependency, but the attempt failed, chiefly through the instrumentality of Muhammad((sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).

To be continued,in sha Allah.
