Abdullāh Ibn Rawāhah
The ethos of this diploma is inspired by the legacy of the legendary poet, military general, and companion of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: Abdullāh Ibn Rawāha. Abdullāh was one of the twelve leaders selected by the Prophet ﷺ in the pledge of Al-Aqabah to manage the affairs of the new Muslim community in Madina. He participated in all the major battles fought by the Muslims, including the battles of Badr, Uhud and Al-Khandaq. He was one of the few individuals in the city of Madina who could write proficiently, and was an accomplished poet. He was therefore appointed as one of the poets responsible for defending the honour of the Prophet ﷺ, alongside Hassān Ibn Thābit and Ka’b Ibn Mālik. His legacy was sealed in the battle of Mu’tah, in which a small army of approximately 3,000 Muslims was dispatched by the Prophet ﷺ to face a Roman Army of almost 200,000 soldiers. Abdullāh was instructed by the Prophet ﷺ to take control of the army should Zayd ibn Hārithah and Ja’far Ibn Abī Tālib be killed. Soon after the battle began, both Zayd and Ja’far were felled by the onrush of Roman swords. The battle-flag was therefore hastily passed onto Abdullāh, who hesitated for a moment before reciting the following lines of poetry:
I swear oh my ego, you will submit voluntarily
You will submit voluntarily, or you will be forced to submit
Why is that I see you detesting paradise?
You are nothing but a sperm drop in a small worn-out vessel
After reciting these lines, he thrust himself into the ranks of the Roman army and fought valiantly until he was martyred.
