In Episode 8 of Life of the Final Messenger ﷺ, the call to Islam moves from secrecy to public proclamation.

With the command to proclaim openly, the Prophet ﷺ ascends Mount Ṣafā and calls his people — but the response is not belief, rather rejection led by Abu Lahab.

Mockery rises, persecution begins, and the first sacrifices are made. The weak are tortured, yet their faith remains unshaken. Through it all, the Prophet ﷺ stands firm — protected by Abu Ṭālib and strengthened by divine reassurance.

From the courage of Ḥamzah ibn ʿAbdul Muṭṭalib to the steadfastness of Bilāl and Sumayyah — this episode captures the cost of truth when light confronts darkness.
