- This was the confinement of all the Muslims together with their sympathizers especially the Banu Hashim clan irrespective of whether they were Muslims or not.
- In the year 617 AD, all the Muslims and their sympathizers including the prophet’s uncle Abu Talib were sent in a valley pass on Abu Talib’s land called SH’IBI ABU TALIB.
- The Muslims were confined in this valley and boycotted for three years until 620 AD.
- While in this valley, the Meccans were not allowed to marry Muslim women or give them their women for marriage.
- They were not allowed to buy from or sell to them anything or to relate with them in any way.
- The Muslims suffered so much in this period when they ran short of food, water, medical care, clothes and other necessities.
They started eating leaves of trees and wild roots.
- It was partly because of this that soon after the social boycott, the prophet’s uncle Abu Talib and his wife Khadiija died.
- Due to the great suffering of the Muslims in this social boycott and the loss of the two prophet’s protectors soon after the boycott, the year 620 AD has been referred to as the “Year of sorrow” in Islam.
- After the social boycott, the prophet PBUH tried his luck in Taifa but he met untold hostility from the people of Taifa until when Allah ascended him to heaven for consolation.
