BACAAN TUJUH

SUKU AUS DAN KHAZRAJ

Selama tahun kesebelas misi Islam, Nabi dan umat Islam merasa sulit lagi untuk berkomunikasi
orang orang di Mekah. Faktanya, penganiayaan memang terjadi menjadi begitu tak henti-
hentinya sehingga Muhammad SAW pun menjadi lebih atau kurang terisolasi. Pada saat itulah
dia berbicara kepada kelompok beranggotakan enam orang orang dari Madinah. Dalam
perjalanan kembali ke Madinah, keenam orang itu menyebarkan berita tentang dia. Hal ini
membangkitkan rasa penasaran banyak orang di Madinah. Hasilnya dan pada tahun berikutnya,
dua belas orang datang dengan tujuan utama untuk bertemu dengannya. Mereka mewakili dua
suku utama dari Madinah, yang disebut Aus dan Khazraj. Mereka bertemu dengan Nabi
Muhammad SAW di Aqaba. Beliau berbicara secara detail tentang ajaran Islam dan menjawab
banyak pertanyaan pertanyaan yang mereka ajukan. Para pengunjung menjadi sangat terkesan
apa yang mereka dengar, dan mereka semua masuk Islam.

Interesting Experiences in the past

I had a really good weekend. My elder sister and I went shopping. My sister bought a dress as a
birthday present for her friend. I bought a new pair of shoes, football sneakers. I bought the
sneakers using my pocket money. I had saved my money for ten months. I was so happy that I
could buy them by myself. On Sunday morning, I put on my shoes. Then I played football all
day. The shoes were so comfortable. It was so fun.
