Abstract
When the Prophet (saw) first received the revelation, he was so scared and went back to his beloved wife Khadijah to cover him up. Khadijah comforted him by saying that Allah would not for sake you because you help the poor, you love orphans, you helped people, etc. Early converts were mostly the poor and slaves. Only a few were wealthy individuals such as Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and Uthman Ibn Affan (ra).
