The Honourable Mother of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ – Hazrat Bibi Aaminah (Radiyal Laah Anha).

 

The Honourable Mother of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ – Hazrat Bibi Aaminah (Radiyal Laah Anha).

In the luminous lineage of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, stands the revered figure of Hazrat Bibi Aaminah (رضي الله عنها) — his noble mother. She was the daughter of Wahab ibne Abd Munaaf, descending from the same esteemed line as her husband, Hazrat Abdul lah ibne Abdul Muttalib. 

Hazrat Aaminah was honored for her unmatched beauty, virtue, modesty, and chastity. She was not only noble by blood but deeply spiritual in nature, following the monotheistic faith of Hazrat Ibraheem (Alaiehis Salaam).

Hazrat Aaminah (رضي الله عنها) passed away when the Holy Prophet ﷺ was only six years old. Though young in age, the grief of losing his beloved mother left a mark on his heart that never faded.

Years later, during the Farewell Hajj, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed by Uqbat al-Hajun, the sacred site where Hazrat Aaminah's grave is located. Hazrat Aisha (رضي الله عنها) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ visited her grave and was overcome with emotion — tears flowed from his blessed eyes.

But what followed was a miraculous event.

When the Prophet ﷺ returned, his face was radiant with joy. Hazrat Aishah noticing the shift in his expression, asked him about it. The Prophet ﷺ replied:

"When I was standing near the grave, I made dua to Allaah Kareem to bring my mother back to life. My dua was accepted. She was resurrected, recited the Kalimah (declaration of faith), and then Allaah Ta'ala returned her to her grave where she now peacefully sleeps."

[Khasaaisul Kubra]

This divine moment is a testament to the love between a son and his mother, even when that son is the Mercy to All the Worlds ﷺ.

Hazrat Bibi Aaminah (رضي الله عنها) remains one of the most honored women in Islamic history, and her story continues to inspire love, reverence, and spiritual reflection.

May Allaah Kareem grant us the Taufeeq to have utmost love, respect and honour for the parents and lineage of Rasool ul laah (Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam), Ameen.
