What is Juz by Juz: Prophet Muhammad and the Hypocrites about?
Juz by Juz: Prophet Muhammad and the Hypocrites is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children tell of a plot against the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in Madinah, and the mercy he showed afterwards.
A man asked the Prophet ﷺ to send Muslims to his area to teach people about Islam. On the way they were ambushed, and seventy of them were killed. One man who survived met two travellers on his way back to Madinah and, thinking they were enemies, killed them. They were not. The Prophet ﷺ did not answer with more killing. He went to a group of people to ask for their help in putting things right. They said yes, but secretly they planned to drop a rock on him from the roof of a house while he sat beside it. Allah told the Prophet ﷺ of their plan, and he left in time with Abu Bakr and Umar.
The Muslims then surrounded those people, who asked to be allowed to leave. The Prophet ﷺ spared them and let them leave with everything their camels could carry. The hypocrites had promised to help them, but did not: they said one thing and did another.
The Sheikh draws the lessons: be merciful and generous even when you could harm someone, and do not listen when Shaytan whispers. He ends with a hadith: whoever starts a good deed that others copy gets the reward of everyone who follows.
The children draw a house and a sadaqah box, and answer a quiz about the Prophet ﷺ, the rak'ahs of Dhuhr and the Year of the Elephant.
