After the first revelation in the Cave of Hira, the Prophet, may peace be upon him, received further revelations. It was then that He (PBUH) was instructed to preach Islam, privately. During the first three years only close friends and family were brought into the fold of Islam. This limited activity brought out 30 Muslims during the first three years. When the following revelation came:
"And warn your nearest relatives..."
(Surah ash-Shu'ara, 26:214)
Muhammad (PBUH) instructed Ali ibn Abi Talib to arrange a meal and invite the sons of Abdul Muttalib. Around 40 people came and gathered near the mount of Safa'a. After the feast had ended, the Prophet (PBUH) held out his wish to speak to the assembly, but Abu Lahab interrupted and said to the people that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had displayed some great magic (as the food presented never seemed to end) and so all the people left. This process was repeated again the next day but, on the third day, Muhammad (S) invited them again and, immediately after eating he stoop up and quoted:
"O sons of Abdul Muttalib! I swear by Allah, besides Whom there is no god, that I have been sent by Him as His Messenger. O my relatives! One day you will die as if you were going to sleep and some time later you will be brought back to life to be judged according to your deeds. The good people will live in Heaven, while those who are evil-doers will be put in Hell forever. No human being has ever brought a better thing for his people than that which I have brought for you. My Lord has ordered me to invite you towards Him. Which one of you will support me so that he may become my brother and successor after me?"
It was here that the Prophet (PBUH) proclaimed himself a Messenger.
The turning of the Ka'abah to a place of Allah's worship however, took place way after. On the 7th of Hijra, after the Conquest of Makkah had just taken place, Muhammad (PBUH) delivered a sermon and granted amnesty to most of the Makkans. It was after this occurrence that the destruction of idols in the Ka'abah began. During this, the Prophet (S) recited:
"Truth has come and Falsehood vanished and no more shall falsehood return" (Sahih al-Bukhari.)
He (PBUH) decreed the Ka'abah cleansed and a centre of worship for Muslims.
