“Did He (Allah) not find you an orphan and give you
shelter?”
It is the Divine practice that He has termed and regarded the deed of
Prophets and Messengers, Awliya, Momeneen (faithful) and Muttaqeen (pious
ones) His deed.
As is said to Khatmi-e-Martabat:
“It was not you, but Allah, who slew them. It was not you who threw at
them: Allah threw at them.”
In this Aayah wafi Hadayah Allah has termed the action and deed of
Momeneen (faith ful) and Khatem-ul-Mursaleen (seal of prophets) His own
deed.
The same thing is being described in the above-mentioned Aayah kareema
(verse) of chapter (sura) ‘Wazzuha’ ‘Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him
and his progeny) Did He (Allah) not find you an orphan and give you
shelter?’ History of Islam is evident that the responsibility of
Khatmi-e-Martabat Hazrat Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him and his
progeny)’s maintenance was being taken by his grandfather Hazrat Abdul
Muttalib (A.S) and He, at the time of his death, entrusted this
responsibility from among his children, only and only to Hazrat Abu Talib
(A.S) and said:
![]()
“Muhammad possesses great glory & dignity “, which is a crystal
clear proof of Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (AS)’s being muwahhid (Unitarian) and
momin (faithful). When Hazrat Abdul Muttalib(AS) was aware of Hazrat
Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him and his progeny)’s glory and dignity
then it has to be believed and admitted that He, definitely, was aware of
Hazrat Abu Talib(A.S)’s respect, honour and sanctity from among his
children. He knew and recognized it that only He who possesses great glory
can bring up the one who enjoys great glory. That’s why from Adam to
Khatam; Khatmi-e-martabat has 51 pushtain, in which there were 17
Prophets, 17 Testamentary Successors and 17 Unitarians and Faithfuls.
Therefore, the writer of “Seerat-e-Nabawiyya” while quoting the saying of
Imam-ul-Mushak’kekeen Imam Fakhr-ud-Din Raazi on page 61 of his book
writes that Holy prophet said:
![]() ![]()
“I had continuously been carried/transported from the aslaab (the
loins) of Tahereen (pure, chaste men) to the arhaam (womb) of Taheraat
(pure, chaste women)”. According to the research scholars of Islam
Grandfather and grandmother of Holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace of
Allah be upon him and his progeny) were unitarian and faithful. And as
momin (faithful) keeps an eye on future then how it be possible that one
who enjoys the status of being the grandfather of Khatmi-e-martabat Hazrat
Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him and his progeny) and the master and
Lord (syed/sardar) of Arab world and momin and muwahhid (faithful and
Unitarian) be not informed of future. He was well informed and
acquainted—- for that very reason he entrusted the responsibility of
maintenance to Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) and Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) surely,
was on his ancestor’s/forefather’s religion/faith. Hence, when Holy
prophet was married with Hazrat Khadija tul kubra (A.S) before 15 years of
his annunciation of prophet hood (mab’oos ba resalat) then Hazrat Abu
Talib (A.S) performed their Nikah. And this Khutba-e-Nikah has been quoted
by the most prejudice figure Muhammad Khizri on page 32 of his book
“Noor-ul-Yaqeen”. This khutba begins like that:
![]()
“Praise be to Allah who placed us from among the offspring of Abraham
(A.S)”
And ends on these sentences:
![]()
“By God, Muhammad who will, nearly, possess Naba’e Azeem and
Amr-e-Jaleel, wants to marry your honored/respected lady Khadeeja (A.S)”
Afterwards he said:
![]()
“Whatever myhr (jointure) be settled by you, Abu Talib will pay that”.
30th part of Holy Quran:
![]()
“About what are they asking? About the fateful tidings (naba)”
and Nabi (prophet) is derived from Naba. Grandfather had said:
“He possesses great glory” and uncle is saying:
![]()
“He will possess fateful tidings” which is a crystal clear proof of
that Hazrat Abdul Muttalib (A.S) and Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) had strong and
true knowledge of Zaat-e-Muhammad and were true Unitarians and Faithfuls.
Then Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) through his character and deed proved that how
much love and devotion he had for Khatmi-e-martabat Hazrat Muhammad (peace
of Allah be upon him and his progeny). He bore the afflictions of
Sheb-e-Abi Talib just for Hazrat Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him and
his progeny) and no one can negate this. Negation is impossible. Faith and
religion is the most important of all those means, which creates mutual
sympathy among humans. There is sababi relationship, Nasabi relation ship,
watani relationship and in case of inconsistency among these, mazhabi
(religion/ faith) relationship prevails. Example of sababi is the wives of
Hazrat Noah (A.S) and Hazrat lout (A.S), of nasabi is the son of Hazrat
Noah (A.S) and of watni is that Holy prophet left Makkah but not to give
up faith and saying of putting the moon on one hand and sun on the other,
Muhammad cannot turn back from his faith, boycott with Abu Talib (AS) was
just because of Muhammad from 7 to 10 Nabawi—three years. It becomes
known that there was the war of faith between Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) and
the infidels. Infidels wanted to slay Hazrat Muhammad (peace of Allah be
upon him and his progeny) and Hazrat Abu Talib wanted to protect him which
is a clear and evident proof of this that faith/religion of Abu Talib
(A.S) was that of Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him and his progeny)’s.
![]()
‘O prophet you invited me towards Islam and I am sure that you are true
in dawat ilal Islam and you are true and trustworthy from the very start.
![]()
And I know that the religion of Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him
and his progeny) is the best of all religions. By God these infidels
cannot damage you even they are united till Abu Talib is alive”, (Tareekh
Abdul Fida)
The example of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) is that of Momin-e-Aal-e-Firoan.
Hence the Quranic verse says:
![]()
“Said a Momin (faithful) from Aal-e-Firoan (pharaoh) who conceals his
faith (emaan)”. Concealing faith was protecting Moses (A.S) because faith
relates to heart likewise not to show his (Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) faith
was in fact to save and secure Hazrat Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him
and his progeny).
This is the reason that infidel world could not cause even the
slightest harm to Khatmi-e-martabat till Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) remained
alive. And in 10 Nabawi Holy prophet’s great uncle, helper of
Ahmad-e-Mukhtar and the father of Haider-e-karrar was near to die.
![]()
Holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon him and his
progeny) came to him, put and moved his hand on Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S)’s
forehead for four times and then said to Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S):
“O great uncle, you have brought me up in child hood, maintained me in
my orphan hood and helped in my youth. May Allah reward you well on my
behalf” (Al-Yaqoobi/Tareekh al Yaqoobi
vol: 2, p: 25).
Prophet of Islam admitted and avowed all of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S)’s
obligations and favours and Allah Almighty has considered and regarded
Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S)’s shelter His own shelter in the above-mentioned
verse. That’s the reason that one is Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) of those two
personalities, year of whom death was termed by Holy prophet Aam-ul-Huzn
(year of grief). Terming that year Aam Ul Huzn (year of grief) is a
crystal clear proof of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S)’s faith (emaan). It is also
evident that great love of prophet of Islam for Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S) was
not only because of his kinship but because of his (Abu Talib A.S) true
and sincere love and devotion for din-o-shariat and prophet of Islam. Aam
ul Huzn is also a very obvious proof upon this that observing grief (Gham)
is Sunnat-e-Nabawi and this grief is being observed so that the human
world could not forget the obligations of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S). Today,
on Rabi-ul-Awwal 26 we are observing the death anniversary of Hazrat Abu
Talib (A.S) as Youm-ul-Huzn (day of grief) and on such occasion when whole
Islamic world in general, and Pakistan in particular is the target of
colonial powers. And oppressed nations, Kashmir and Palestinian Muslims
are fighting for the freedom of Kashmir and liberation of Palestine and
al-Quds and they are alone in spite of this that they are more than a
billion. Today they are facing different problems and economic sanctions.
If they want to get rid of these then by following the seerat of Hazrat
Abu Talib (A.S) they should not be worried and unnerved of these sanctions
and tell the entire world that as our prophet Muhammad could not be pushed
back from the path of Haq by besieging him in Sheb-e-Abi Talib (A.S). Like
wise today, America the head of colonial Taghoot and Zionist and Hindus
cannot drive Muslim Ummah back from the path of Haq. We while presenting
our condolence to Khatmi-e-martabat (peace of Allah be upon him and his
Aal) of his great uncle, reiterate that we will not let any loss to be
caused to din-o-shariat. “Truth has nothing to fear”
Your (Holy Prophet) family is true and trustworthy and you (Holy
Prophet) also are true and trustworthy.”
