The Prophetic ﷺ Response to Islamophobia: The Story of Adi bin Hatem


What can we learn from the Prophetic ﷺ response to Islamophobia? There was once a known Islamophobe, Adi bin Hatem. He was the head of a monotheistic tribe that worshipped the God of Abraham but lacked any further guidance. Adi bin Hatem hated Islam and hated the Prophet ﷺ. His own sister had gone to see the Prophet ﷺ and embraced Islam and this infuriated Adi bin Hatem even more. So when he visited Madinah, how did the Prophet ﷺ treat him? A fascinating, uplifting true story, retold by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani. It is replete with lessons for our time.
