Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib Accepts Islam

Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, the Prophet's uncle and a renowned warrior of Quraysh, accepted Islam in the sixth year of prophethood. He was provoked to action when Abu Jahl insulted and struck the Prophet near Mount Safa. Hamza confronted Abu Jahl and struck him with his bow, declaring his acceptance of Islam. His conversion was initially driven by tribal honor but soon became sincere faith. His acceptance strengthened the Muslim community significantly.
