Exemplary Youth Nurtured by the Messenger of God (pbuh)-2 The Respected Muadh ibn Jabal
The twelve Companions from Medina who participated in the First Pledge of Aqaba requested a guide and teacher who would explain Islam and teach them the Qur’an and the Sunnah.

Muadh ibn Jabal
Muadh ibn Jabal was a ung man growing up in Yathrib as the light of guidance and truth began to spread over the Arabian peninsula. He was a handsome and imposing character with black eyes and curly hair and immediately impressed whoever he met. He was already distinguished for the sharpness of his intelligence among ung men of his own age.
The ung Muadh became a Muslim at the hands of Musab ibn Umayr, the daiy (missionary) whom the Prophet had sent to Yathrib before the hijrah. Muadh was among the seventy-two Yathribites who journeyed to Makkah, one year before the hijrah, and met the Prophet at his house and later again in the valley of Mina, outside Makkah, at Aqabah. Here the famous second Aqabah Pledge was made at which the new Muslims of Yathrib, including some women, vowed to support and defend the Prophet at any cost. Muadh was among those who enthusiastically clasped the hands of the blessed Prophet then and pledged allegiance to him.

Amongst his people, he was considered the most handsome, youthful and generous person.
