In every soul woman is reverend and respectful.
In house of Islam, women always have a very special place of respect in any skin, whether she is a mother, a sister, a daughter and a wife.
What do you see?
- A very disturbing and devastated place.. Right!
- A place somewhere in a mount, with pieces of grayish and black stones put together in a circle... Right!
- A haunted place, where anybody can get scared to stay longer and run away before the sunset because of the dreadful scenery across the location....Right!
Well this flat place is on the mount of Al-Abwa, where my Prophet Muhammad's (SAW) mother is sleeping, sigh!
Every time, when I listen to this heart melting, heart cutting, heart scratching, extremely disturbing, grievous and true narrative event, which happened with my Dearest Prophet Muhammad (SAW) at the age of 6. I can not help out to stop my sinful tears streaming down in a rush, sigh!
This event is mentioned in various books of Seerat (Internal handsomeness or fame) of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). It was 577 A.D. when my Nabee (Holy Prophet) Muhammad (SAW) was only 6 years old, his mother Sayyida Amna (R.A) took him to Madina for a visit. She wanted him to see the grave of his father. It was a long journey, when they returned and encamped at a place named Abwa, Sayyida Amna (R.A) fell ill, which caused her death.
In this strange and lonely place, young Muhammad (SAW) saw the last agonies of the nearest, dearest and the best-loved person he knew, with no one to share his baffled and piercing grief, except his non-biological mother Hazrat Umm-e-Aiman (R.A).
The blessed child (SAW) was fatherless when he went on this journey and motherless when he returned, AHH
Sayyida Amna (R.A) was only 25 years old when she passed away. '25' is an age of pleasures and ecstasies, at this age people usually start their lives with jubilance, but my Nabee's (SAW) mother passed away on the glittering step of youth, sigh!
How many people were there at the site?
Only three;
1- A 6-years old child (My Nabee Muhammad 'SAW')
2- Sayyida Amna (R.A) my Nabee's (SAW) biological mother
3- Umm-e-Aiman my Nabee's (SAW) non-biological mother
AHHH!
My tears are stopping me to write any further,
"Kitab-e-zeest Jab Likhnay Ka Aaya Khayal || Waqayay Kuch Aisay Yaad Aayay Qalum Rakhna Para"
I have to hand this write-up over to "Maulana Tariq Jameel" to enlighten his own experience of this mourning journey of my Nabee (SAW), which will Insh'Allah motivates you to best treat your own mother. May Allah SWT gives us strength to love respect and care our mothers in every second of our lives, Ameen!
My concluding remarks:
"Beth Kar Saye Gul Mein , Nasir || Hum Bohot Roye Woh Jab Yaad Aaya"
Before its too late....
Please take these words as my WILL that despite of what religion you belong to?
Please, please, please care, help, serve and respect your mothers with your utmost strength.....
Remember!
It's always darkest before dawn!
May you be guided, Ameen!
