Now in the twelfth year of the mission, this episode looks at the twelve individuals from Yathrib who embraced Islam formally at the hands of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) at the First Pledge of al-'Aqaba. It also discusses the efforts of Mus'ab b. 'Umayr, who was instructed to live and teach in Yathrib, focusing on the gradual building of the Muslim community that would be called the Helpers (Ansar), in the city that would soon be called Medina.
