OUR PROPHET (PBUH) - RABI AL-AWWAL - 6th September, 2024
He is that blessed and noble man who lost his father before he was born in Rabi' al-Awwal. Can you imagine the difficulty? He is that precious human who lost his mother at the tender age of six years old in the middle of the Arabian desert. He looked upon her with his beautiful eyes whilst her illness increased and he witnessed her leave this world whilst he was so young. Can you imagine the greatness of that test? His grandfather began to look after him. He poured all of his love and affection upon him but by the age of 8 he had already lost him. Can you imagine the pain? His wife was the most beloved person in the world to him and he lost her in the most testing of times. Can you imagine the yearning? His uncle who looked after him from the age of 8 and was his security in Makkah - He passed away before him.
He saw the martyrdom and mutilation of Sayyiduna Hamza who was like his father and it broke his blessed heart. Can you imagine the strength? He lost his aunty and she was like a mother to him so he lay in her grave and buried her with his own hands. Can you imagine the loyalty? He lost his sons whilst they were young children. He went through the pain of burying four sons in his lifetime and it caused his blessed eyes to weep. Can you imagine the hardship? He saw the torture and killing of the companions he grew up with and his soul never stop yearning for them. Can you imagine the love? He went to Badr and returned to find his daughter had passed away. Can you imagine the longing? Life continued and he buried two other daughters with his blessed hands. Can you imagine his strength?
Despite all of this - a companion said, "I never saw him except with a smile upon his face!' His sahaba said he never stood or sat down except that he praised Allah no matter the situation. Can you imagine his character? ﷺ. May Allah cure our ill ones, mend our broken hearts, and bless us with patience and strength to face adversity and tribulation.
