One of them was her first cousin, Waraqa bin Naufal. Waraqa was the eldest of all his siblings, and his hair had all turned grey. He castigated the Arabs for worshipping idols and for deviating from the true faith of their forebears - the prophets Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ismael. Ibrahim and Ismael had taught the lesson of Tauheed - the doctrine of the Unity of the Creator. But the Arabs had forgotten that lesson, and had become polytheists.
Makka nayo ilikuwa na watu hao wachache kwa idadi "Mahanifi" na baadhi yao walikuwa kwenye ukoo wa Khadija. Mmoja wao alikuwa binamu yake wa kwanza, Waraqa bin Naufal. Waraqa alikuwa mkubwa katika ndugu zake wote, na nywele zake zote zilikwisha kuwa rangi ya jivu. Aliwashutumu Waarabu kwa kuabudu masanamu na kwa kuacha njia ya kweli ya mababu zao - Mitume Ibrahim na Ismaili. Ibrahim na Ismaili walifundisha somo la Tauhiid -Imani ya Kumpwekesha Muumba. Lakini Waarabu walisahau somo hilo, na wakaingia kwenye shiriki.
