Summary/Abstract: Mus’ab b. ‘Umejr, r.a. was one of the most diligent students of Allah’s Prophet, Muhammed s.a.w.s. He embraced Islam in his early years and wove into it all of his physical and spiritual strength. Even though his parents had mistreated him because of his devotion to Islam, by depriving him of food, drink and clothing, he remained steadfast on his path of truth and became an example to other young men on how to fight for ideals, which surpass the mundane life and its needs. The methods he used in his da’wa became the paradigm for all future generations. Namely, using his discerning selection he converted two key men in Medina and by doing so, made it possible for half of the population of this city to embrace Islam, but he also made way for a normal arrival of muhajeers from the idolatrous Mecca into the city of Medina which was to become a nucleus from which a new, united and a unique generation of Muslims emerged - the likes of which would never emerge again until the Day of Judgement.
