It is a proven fact from the Holy Quran and Ahadith that the parents of
the Holy Prophet, Mahboob-e-Kibriya, Muhsin-e
Insaaniyat, Shafee-ul-Muznibeen, Rahmatul-Lil-Aalameen, Huzoor Pur Noor,
Muhammadur Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) -Sayyiduna Abdullah and Sayyidah Aamina (radi Allahu anhuma) - were
always on Imaan and left this world with
Imaan.
Just as the cities of Makkah and Madina are the most exalted cities in the
world due to being the birth place and place of
demise of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), likewise, the genealogy of
the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) is the most exalted and pure chain in the Universe. All his
forefathers, from his father, Hazrat Abdullah (radi Allahu
anhu), to Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam), were Mu'min, Muwaahids (believers in the
Oneness of Allah), Aabids and Zaahids.
None from amongst them were idol-worshippers or Faasiqs (sinners). Actually, the
Noor of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) travelled from Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) to Hazrat Abdullah (radi
Allahu anhu), in the family chain of those
who always sincerely worshipped One Allah.
For those who say, Ma'az-Allah, that the parents of the Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) were non-believers, they
should think and ponder that if the parents of no other Prophet were
non-believers, how then would the parents of the Greatest
of all Prophets be non-believers?
Those who reject the teachings of the Prophets are regarded as Kaafirs and
sinners. In the era of the Prophet's (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) parents, his parents had not need bring Imaan on any Nabi as
the true teachings of the Ambiya before their
time had been changed. Further, when Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) his
Prophethood was not announced. In the era in
which his parents lived all that was required for Imaan was to affirm the true
belief in the Oneness of Almighty Allah. Neither
did they commit Kufr nor was their Imaan changed, so they cannot be regarded as
sinners or Kaafirs. They remain true
Mu'mins in life and when they passed away.
The great Ulama have proven the Imaan and Islam of the parents of the Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in three
different ways:-
- Both of them were on Deen-e-Haneef - the teachings of Hazrat Ibraheem
(alaihis salaam).
- In their time, they had not received direct invitation of previous
prophets to their Deen. They passed away with Imaan,
believing in One Allah before the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
announced his Prophethood.
- Due to the Du'a of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) Almighty
Allah gave life to his parents who were buried in
their graves and they brought Imaan on him.
Almighty Allah granted life to the parents of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) even after they had
passed away to show them his status. Just as Almighty Allah brought back to life
a person of the Bani Israel to show who killed
a certain person; just as Hazrat Esa (alaihis salaam) brought the dead back to
life; just as the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) Du'a brought back many dead persons to life; just as the Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) brought back the
sun from West when the Asr Salaah of Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) became Qaza,
likewise, his Du'a brought back his
parents to life so that they may also bring Imaan on him.
Almighty Allah blessed the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) with
acceptance, exaltedness and elevated his status. All
the above mentioned facts proves that the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) parents passed away as Mu'mins and
Muwaahids. After Hajjat-ul Widaa, he brought them back to life with the
permission of Allah. By seeing him and bringing
Imaan on him, they became Sahaabi-e-Rasool (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). May
Allah bless us with strong Imaan in this
world and may we leave this world with Imaan. Ameen. (For more details refer to
