Ayat of the Ashira (Verse of the Warning)

Surah ash shu’ara ayat 214 is the verse of ashira, instructs Muhammad to warn his closest relatives. The hadith about the warning (يوم الإنذار) , also referred to as the invitation of the relatives (دعوة ذو العشیرة). According to early historians Ibn Sa’d and Ibn Ishaq, the verse of ashira instructed Muhammad to publicly announce his prophetic mission by inviting his relatives to Islam, approximately three years after the first divine revelation. Two versions describe how events unfolded, possibly reflecting two separate attempts by Muhammad, although his uncle Abu Lahab reportedly thwarted both efforts. The verse of the ashira might also draw parallels to Abraham’s admonition to his father in the same chapter (sura) of the Quran.
