June, 632.
Medina.
“Tell me that it is a lie.” Ali demanded as soon as he pushed past the last of the sobbing crowd and into the doorway of the modest townhouse. “Tell me the Prophet is not dead.”
“He is gone from this world. Embraced with All-Mighty Allah.” The man Ali knew as Abu Bakr confirmed Ali’s fears. The news struck at Ali’s heart and he could immediately feel the stinging of tears in his eyes. The ground beneath him seemed to tumble underneath him. He appeared as if he would fall when a strong arm caught him and held him up.
“There, there.” The man who had caught him soothed, patting his shoulder. “The Will of the Prophet lives in us all still.” Though he did not take much comfort, it did do some to comfort Ali’s sorrow. Standing up straight he nodded his thanks to the man.
“Thank you Muhammad. I shall strive by your words my cousin.”
“I hope you do. For sake of my dear daughter, Fatimah, at least.” Muhammad replied with a charismatic smile. After a moment though his smile disappeared and he looked off to the ceiling as if listening for someone that only he could hear. “The Prophet Kamal opened my eyes. How Allah and Al-lat want this world to be. To be about ramah. Compassion to all. I may not be as inclined to Al-Uzza, the Lioness, like Urwah ibn Mas'ud, but I know Manat has a certain fate for me.”
“By the gods and prophets I am sure you do. Perhaps in ways you are like Isa. When as Blessed Kamal said: “Al-lat herself interceded in his virgin birth. She gave his mother a purpose to raise her son true, and the Prophet Isa to spread the compassion of Allah and the gods.”
“As many stars in the sky there are gods and as many fates to be told. Yet, only two shine brightest.”
“Hah. How sweet your words are my dear father-in-law.” -
In June of 632 the Prophet Kamal of Allah and Allat died on a visit to the faithful in the city of Medina. Beginning east of Mecca in the city of Ta'if several decades earlier he would become one of the most historically significant people in all of the world. After allegedly receiving divine dreams from Allah and his wife Al-lat in which he was told to spread compassion of the right teachings of the gods. He would begin his religious quest to spread a unified understanding of the universe as well as to reform the ways of the Jews and Christians who had gone astray. Uniting first his home tribe of Banu Thaqif and then all of the people of Arabia. Like a ray of sunshine his legacy would illuminate the political and socially scarred region of Mesopotamia then spread from one sea to the next.
