The fact that he (صلي الله ءليه ؤ سلم) sat amongst them (mushrikeen of Makkah) for thirteen years, does not mean that he praised or commended them or took some kind of oath upon respecting them, as is done by many of the ignorant ones, who attribute themselves to the Da‛wah, towards the modern Yāsiq of this era (i.e. the constitution of the apostate governments). Rather, he صلي الله ءليه ؤ سلم used to declare his open enmity and disavowal towards the polytheists (Mushrikīn) and their deeds and show his disbelief in their gods, despite his weakness and the weakness of his companions. And we have explained this for you in what has passed. And when you consider the Makkah-period of the Qur’ān, much of this will become clear to you. From it, for instance, His, the Most High’s statement in describing the condition of His Prophet صلي الله ءليه ؤ سلم in Makkah towards the disbelievers:
And when those who disbelieve see you, they take you not except for mockery (saying): “Is this the one who talks (badly) about your gods?” While they disbelieve at the mention of the Most Beneficent (Allāh). [al-Anbiya:36]
