عظمت و منزلت حضرت خدیجہ سلام اللہ علیھا

جنت المعلا مڪه

بيت جناب خديجه الڪبره

گھر خاندان اور تربیت کا ماحول انسان کے جسم و فکر دونوں کی تربیت اور ترقی میں خاص اثر رکھتا ہے اور انسان کے اندر ثبات و پایداری پیدا کرتا ہے ۔

جناب خدیجہ کا خاندان بھی ایسا ہی ایک خاندان تھا کہ باپ ماں اور اپنے اجداد کی جانب سے آپ کا خاندان جزیرۃ العرب کے اصلی باشندوں میں سے تھا اور کرامت و سیادت و شرافت میں معروف تھا ۔

خدا نے آپ کو حرم نبوت کا چراغ بنایا اور گیارہ اماموں کی ماں ہونے کا شرف آپ کو بخشا ، آپ فہم و فراست میں کمال کے اس درجہ پر فائز تھیں کہ مرد اور عورتوں میں کم ہی لوگ اس درجہ کمال تک پہنچ پاتے ہیں ۔ عفت ،نجابت ، طہارت ،سخاوت ، حسن معاشرت ،مہر و وفا آپ کے برجستہ ترین صفات ہیں ۔

زمانہ جاہلیت میں آپ کو طاہرہ ، سیدہ نساء قریش کہا جاتا تھا اور اسلام نے آپ کو ان چار عورتوں میں سے قرار دیا جن کو عالمین پر برتری حاصل ہے اور ان میں سے آپ سے افضل صرف آپ کی دختر جناب فاطمہ زہرا (س) ہیں ۔

آپ نے بعثت سے قبل اور بعثت کے بعد پیغمبر اکرم کی تصدیق کی اور سب سے پہلے آپ پر ایمان لے آئیں اور مشکلات و مصائب میں پیغمبر کی مونس و غمخوار بنی رہیں ۔ مشرکین کے حملوں سے زخمی ہو کر جب دل شکستہ پیغمبر گھر میں قدم رکھتے تھے تو جناب خدیجہ پیغمبر کے نورانی چہرے سے گرد و غبار صاف کرتیں ،آپ کے زخموں کو صاف کرتی اور آپ کی دلجوئی کرتی اور آپ کو تسلی دیا کرتی تھیں ۔

جناب خدیجہ کے انھیں احسانات کی وجہ سے حضور نے کبھی آپ کو فراموش نہ کیا ، متعدد مصلحتوں کے تحت متعدد شادیاں کیں لیکن کوئی ایک زوجہ خدیجہ (س) کی جگہ نہ لے سکی ۔

عایشہ کہتی ہیں کہ پیغمبر اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہ وسلم ہمیشہ خدیجہ کو یاد کیا کرتے تھے اگر گوسفند ذبح کرتے تو اسے خدیجہ کے دوستوں کے یہاں بھیجا کرتے تھے ۔ ^۱

عایشہ سے منقول ہے کہ ایک دن میں نے تنگ آکر پیغمبر (ص) سے کہا : کیوں آپ اس بوڑھی عورت کو یاد کیا کرتے ہیں جب کہ خداوند عالم نے اس کے بدلے آپ کو اس سے بہتر ازواج سے نوازا ہے ۔ یہ سن کر پیغمبر غضبناک ہو گئے یہاں تک کہ آپ سر کے بال کانپنے لگے پھر آپ نے فرمایا : نہیں ! خدا کی قسم خدا نے اس سے بہتر ہمیں نہیں دیا ،جب لوگ کافر تھے اس وقت وہ مجھ پر ایمان لائی اور جب لوگ مجھے جھٹلا رہے تھے تب اس نے میری تصدیق کی اور اپنے مال کے ذریعہ ہماری مدد کی جب لوگوں نے میرا بایکاٹ کر رکھا تھا ،خداوند عالم نے اس کے ذریعہ مجھے صاحب اولاد بنایا جبکہ دیگر ازواج نے ہمیں اولاد کی نعمت سے محروم رکھا ۔ ^۲

ابن عباس(رض) سے مروی ہے کہ پیغمبر اکرم (ص) نے زمین پر چار خط کھینچا اور فرمایا : تمھیں معلوم ہے یہ کیا ہے ؟لوگوں نے کہا : اللہ اور اس کے رسول بہتر جانتے ہیں ۔ پیغمبر اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا : جنت کی سب سے افضل خواتین ،خدیجہ بنت خویلد ، فاطمہ بنت محمد ،مریم بنت عمران اور آسیہ بنت مزاحم ۔ فرعون کی زوجہ ۔ ہیں ۔ ^۳

جناب خدیجہ کے فضائل و کمالات کو اس مختصر سی تحریر میں نہیں بیان کیا جا سکتا اس کے لئے تاریخ و سیر کی کتابوں کی طرف رجوع کرنا پڑے گا ۔

خداوند عالم ہمیں جناب خدیجہ (س) کی سیرت و سنت پر چلنے کی توفیق مرحمت فرمائے اور ان کی شفاعت ہمارے شامل حال فرمائے ۔ انشاء اللہ

Wiladat Hazrat Abass AS,

As the lovers of the Ahlul Bayt mark the 1,400 birth anniversary of Hazrat Abbas (as), the right-hand man of Imam Husain (AS), this becomes a celebration not just to be ‘commemorated’ in our traditional manner, rather it should be one in which we should truly strive to learn more about this important personality.
Born into the house of Imaamate, he was blessed with the noble traits of his father and his fore-fathers and that of his mother and her family who were known for their honor, courage and bravery. Due to these lofty traits which would show up in Al-Abbas (as) later in life, he was given the title of: Abul Fadhl or ‘The Possessor of Virtue’ while his proper name as Abbas which means, ‘The Lion that other lions fear and escape from.’

What do other prominent personalities say about Imam Hussain AS.

A collection of short quotations about Imam Hussain AS from a wide variety of Non-Muslim notables from around the world.

Reynold Alleyne Nicholson

• (1868 -1945 Sir Thomas Adams Professor of Arabic at the University of Cambridge )

  "Husayn fell, pierced by an arrow, and his brave followers were cut down beside him to the last man. Muhammadan tradition, which with rare exceptions is uniformly hostile to the Umayyad dynasty, regards Husayn as a martyr and Yazid as his murderer."
  [ A Literary History of the Arabs, Cambridge, 1930, p. 197 ]

Edward G. Brown
(Sir Thomas Adams Professor of Arabic and oriental studies at the University of Cambridge )

"… a reminder of the blood-stained field of Kerbela, where the grandson of the Apostle of God fell at length, tortured by thirst and surrounded by the bodies of his murdered kinsmen, has been at anytime since then sufficient to evoke, even in the most lukewarm and heedless, the deepest emotions, the most frantic grief, and an exaltation of spirit before which pain, danger and death shrink to unconsidered trifles."
[ A Literary History of Persia , London, 1919, p. 227 ]

Ignaz Goldziher
( 1850-1921 Famous Hungarian orientalist scholar )

"Ever since the black day of Karbala, the history of this family … has been a continuous series of sufferings and persecutions. These are narrated in poetry and prose, in a richly cultivated literature of martyrologies - a Shi'i specialty - and form the theme of Shi'i gatherings in the first third of the month of Muharram, whose tenth day ('ashura) is kept as the anniversary of the tragedy at Karbala. Scenes of that tragedy are also presented on this day of commemmoration in dramatic form (ta'ziya). 'Our feast days are our assemblies of mourning.' So concludes a poem by a prince of Shi'i disposition recalling the many mihan of the Prophet's family. Weeping and lamentation over the evils and persecutions suffered by the 'Alid family, and mourning for its martyrs: these are things from which loyal supporters of the cause cannot cease. 'More touching than the tears of the Shi'is' has even become an Arabic proverb."
[ Introduction to Islamic Theology and Law , Princeton, 1981, p. 179 ]

Edward Gibbon
( 1737-1794 Considered the greatest British historian of his time )

"In a distant age and climate the tragic scene of the death of Hosein will awaken the sympathy of the coldest reader."
[ The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire , London, 1911, volume 5, pp. 391-2 ]

Sir William Muir
( 1819-1905 Scottish scholar and statesman. Held the post of Foreign Secretary to the Indian government as well as Lieutenant Governor of the Northwestern Provinces )

"The tragedy of Karbala decided not only the fate of the caliphate, but of the Mohammedan kingdoms long after the Caliphate had waned and disappeared."
[ Annals of the Early Caliphate , London, 1883, pp. 441-2 ]

Peter J. Chelkowski
( Professor of Middle Eastern Studies, New York University )

"Hussein accepted and set out from Mecca with his family and an entourage of about seventy followers. But on the plain of Kerbela they were caught in an ambush set by the … caliph, Yazid. Though defeat was certain, Hussein refused to pay homage to him. Surrounded by a great enemy force, Hussein and his company existed without water for ten days in the burning desert of Kerbela. Finally Hussein, the adults and some male children of his family and his companions were cut to bits by the arrows and swords of Yazid's army; his women and remaining children were taken as captives to Yazid in Damascus. The renowned historian Abu Reyhan al-Biruni states; "… then fire was set to their camp and the bodies were trampled by the hoofs of the horses; nobody in the history of the human kind has seen such atrocities."
[ Ta'ziyeh: Ritual and Drama in Iran , New York, 1979, p. 2 ]

Simon Ockley
( 1678-1720 Professor of Arabic at the University of Cambridge )

"Then Hosein mounted his horse, and took the Koran and laid it before him, and, coming up to the people, invited them to the performances of their duty: adding, 'O God, thou art my confidence in every trouble, and my hope in all adversity!'… He next reminded them of his excellency, the nobility of his birth, the greatness of his power, and his high descent, and said, 'Consider with yourselves whether or not such a man as I am is not better than you; I who am the son of your prophet's daughter, besides whom there is no other upon the face of the earth. Ali was my father; Jaafar and Hamza, the chief of the martyrs, were both my uncles; and the apostle of God, upon whom be peace, said both of me and my brother, that we were the chief of the youth of paradise. If you will believe me, what I say is true, for by God, I never told a lie in earnest since I had my understanding; for God hates a lie. If you do not believe me, ask the companions of the apostle of God [here he named them], and they will tell you the same. Let me go back to what I have.' They asked, 'What hindered him from being ruled by the rest of his relations.' He answered, 'God forbid that I should set my hand to the resignation of my right after a slavish manner. I have recourse to God from every tyrant that doth not believe in the day of account.'"
[ The History of the Saracens , London, 1894, pp. 404-5 ]
