After Khadija bint Khuwaylid - may God be pleased with her - converted to Islam, she and the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - used to pray secretly, so Ali - may God be pleased with him - saw their prayers, then Ali asked the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, about this prayer, and he said: What is this? So the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - explained to him that this is the true religion that God - the Most High - has accepted, He commanded it, and sent messengers for it. Then the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - asked Ali to submit to God - the Most High - and to make atonement for God and disbelive in al-Lat and Al - Uzza- Ali said: I consult my dad. But the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - forbade him from telling his uncle Abu Talib; Because the Islamic call is still in the process of secrecy, and God - may He be exalted - did not authorize the call to be made out loud, and the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - told Ali - may God be pleased with him - that either he should submit or be concealed, Ali - may God be pleased with him - remained that night, then God - the Most High - cast Islam into the heart of Ali - may God be pleased with him. Then Ali - may God be pleased with him - returned, to the Prophet - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - and asked him what he had presented to him on the previous day, so he told him to testify that there is no god but God, and to disbelieve in Al-Lat and Al-Uzza, and abandon polytheism with God, So Ali embraced Islam, concealed his Islam, and remained on that until God - the Most High - revealed his religion.

The young man of young age, who is related to the Messenger by blood, and sees from the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him the great character, over the years of his life, when a matter is presented to him, it is assumed that he does not hesitate because the Messenger of God is older than him and he must respect his desire, despite that he said for him: My father asked permission for that, which indicates the morals of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, his first behavior with his parents, then he delivers and conceals the news for the sake of the Messenger of God, another honor for him - may God be pleased with him - It is very difficult to hide a great matter such as the conversion from religion to religion at this age, which indicates a personality that consists of dimensions of strength.

- A word about his conversion to Islam - may God be pleased with him -
It is possible for a person to say about himself the best qualities, and describe himself with the best descriptions. Who will discover the sincerity of these resonant words? who live around you, your household, right? Therefore, the Messenger of God says in a hadith (The best of you is the best of you to his family) because everything you say about yourself outside falls on the threshold of your house before you enter it, and this is Zaid bin Haritha - knowing that whoever is truthful in his words and actions, Inside and outside the house he will not lie to God because he has not been tempted to lie to people, so it was easier and easier not to lie to God Almighty, and this was from his jurisprudence - may God be pleased with him and please him.

The Vision is from God - the Most High - and the dream is from the conscious mind, and the question here is: What did God - the Most High - see in the heart of the worshiper of idols (Saad bin Abi Waqqas) to show him a good dream like this on the night of the revelation of the message to Muhammad - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, God - Allah does not look at our Ideal shape if so, or our bodies, if we were perfect, or a beautiful image, or a large or marginalized social situation, no, no, but rather to the heart and the heart only, you see what is in the hearts of human beings, as for the minds, they have mastered them with FMRI and others.

A word about his conversion to Islam - may God be pleased with him
1 - We always wonder why the Companions became companions - may God be pleased with them all, and when we know that some of them embraced Islam at the age of 8, and one of his brothers rejected Islam, we know that they have a unique personality, the first Arabs are among the most honorable personalities that you like to deal with, May God Almighty return honor, glory and dominion to Arabs and Muslims everywhere, east and west.
2 - This is not the unique personality of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, who invites a child to embrace a new religion, Isn't that surprising? Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, one of the notables of the people, talks to a child and imagines that he will answer his call, and it was, but he is a stranger thing.
Islam Abdul Rahman bin Auf
Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf had several names by which he was called in the pre-Islamic era. Including Abd Omar, Abd al-Kaaba, and Abd al-Harith, but the Messenger -may God bless him and grant him peace- named him Abd al-Rahman after his conversion to Islam, He embraced Islam at the hands of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq - may God be pleased with him -, as he was one of the companions who converted to Islam before the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - entered Dar al-Arqam.
A word about his conversion to Islam - may God be pleased with him
The Arabs said: Every person has a share of his name, and the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - understood this meaning before the Arabs knew it, and he changed the names of many of the Companions from names that have meanings of distress or an evil meaning to names that have a meaning, because when you meet a person or deal with him for the first time, The first thing you know about him is (his name), and if you knew the meaning of this name and this meaning referred to something in your head as a mental background for what you carry in the bag of meanings, memories and concepts, It is the beginning of a relationship that can continue or transient, but the name is part of the being of every human being.
This is the tip of the iceberg of the first companions who embraced Islam, as a model for the rest of the early companions.
