The BELOVED HONORABLE FATHER OF THE HOLY PROPHET
The Holy Prophet صلى الله عايه وسالم
has said “Allaah الله
سبحانه وتعالى always transferred me from pious loins to pure wombs until I
was from my Parents”
Every time the Noor [light] of the Prophet was transferred, it was transferred
to only pious and pure people, meaning the ancestors of the Holy Prophet
صلى الله عايه وسالم
were pure pious believers
and had the highest of Ieeman [Faith] in Allaah الله سبحانه وتعالى.
This Noor [light] passed from person to person until it came into one the 10Th most Beloved son of Hazrat Abdul Muttalib the Honorable custodian of the progenitor of the distinguished Banu Hashim, a clan of the Quraiesh tribe of Makaah.
He
was the Beloved Grandfather of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عايه وسالم who was
from the righteous, descent of Prophet Hazrat Ibraahim's and Prophet Hazrat Ismaael's
[Alaiehis Salaam]. He advised his sons to follow the same with good manners.
This Noor [light] sparkled with brilliance on the face of Hazrat Abdul
laah and because of this light Hazrat Abdul laah became the most handsome man
in the whole of Makaah.
The name of the
respected father of the Holy Prophet Muhammad is Abdul Laah [Meaning the devotee of Allaah]. He was excellent in
virtues with perfect attributes. One hundred camels were sacrificed as
thanksgiving to Allaah by his father the grandfather of the Holy Prophet. His
forehead reflected a profound illumination.
Hazrat Abdul laah was known for his piety, he firmly detested idol worship and
worshipped Allaah الله سبحانه وتعالى alone. He was a believer in ONE Allaah in
a time when the people around him worshipped many false gods, the Kabaah had
over 300 idols stored inside it. The Makaan’s were busy in pagan idol worship
and had left the true religion.
After the incident of 100 camel sacrifice... his value
and greatness increased significantly. Now your father has started worrying
about your marriage.
So, one day your father took you with him. On their way, they met a
priestess [whose name was Fatimah binte-Maraa-al-Ghasamiyah. She had read
previous books and was a very beautiful woman. She called Hazrat Abdul Laah
and expressed her love for him and said, “I will give you one hundred camels
too which your father sacrificed for you. Fulfill my desire”.
Hazrat Abdul Laah said:
It is better to die than to commit forbidden relationship.... and
permissible is certainly without doubt preferred. But this is
not permissible because you and I are not married [Nikaah].
Therefore, how can it be done what you want? And a noble man should protect
his honor/dignity and religion.

Having said that, you returned and went with your father until you reached Wahab
bin Abd Munaaf, the Leader of Banu Zahrah. When you visited him your father talked to Abad Munaaf
about your marriage to his daughter Saiyyidah Aaminah, who was superior to all
the women of Quraiesh in lineage, appearance, and character.
A proposal was offered to her by Hazrat Abdul Laah. The father gladly accepted it, and they got married. Within the first week of the marriage, Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaminah became the trustee of Light [Noor] of Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلّم.
Then after some time Hazrat Abdul Laah had to pass by the same route to the place where the priestess used to live, so he met the priestess again and asked her,
“What you have said to me, that is, to give me a hundred camels for fulfilling a desire, what was the secret behind it?”
The priestess said, "Did you get closer to any woman?” Hazrat Abdul Laah said yes!
I am married to Aaminah binte-Wahab, and I got closed to her. She said, “I do not have any desire for you anymore”.
Hazrat Abdul Laah asked her why, what has happened now? The priestess
replied: Abdul Laah! I am not a sinful woman. The reason I desired that day was
because:
I saw the light of Prophethood in your face, and I wanted that light to be
transferred to me, but Almighty Allaah did not agree of it. He put it wherever
He wanted.
