The Distinctive Demise Of The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) And His Life Beyond it Free Download Islamic Book In English Pdf
In the
last days of Safar, portents of the demise of the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) begun to be revealed and the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) passed away into the presence of Allah on
the 12th of Rab’ee Ul Awwal. Thus, we take this opportunity
to describe the states and condition of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam) before His passing away, so that we learn that even
the demise of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was
unparalleled.
Whenever
any human being is about to pass away, fear seeps into his/her heart.
An angel comes at the appointed time and whether that person wants to or not, his/her soul is drawn and his/her relationship with this world and its inhabitants breaks.
It
should be remembered that although a common man will go through these
phases at the time of death, but Allah Most High has granted
unparalleled glory to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).
Each and every aspect of His blessed life is glorious and magnificent.
Every coming moment of His is better than the preceding one. Thus, even
the demise of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is
distinct and distinguished.
When the angel of death
comes, it doesn’t need permission to enter anyone’s house, but when the
same angel comes to the door of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam), it seeks permission to enter it, on receiving permission,
enters it deferentially, greets the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) with Salaam and says: Allah Most High greets you with Salaam
and has ordered me that unless you grant me permission, I should not
draw your sacred soul.
Here, details about this are being presented in light of the Holy Quran and the Hadith:
Allah Most High says in the Holy Quran:
When
there comes Allah?s help and victory, And you see people joining Allah?s
Din (Religion) in droves, Then glorify Allah?s praise (in gratitude),
exalting Him, and beg Him (humbly) for pardon. Surely, He is
Ever-Relenting and Oft-Returning (with evermore compassion). Surah Nasr
110:1-3)
Imam Raadhi (May Allah be well pleased with him) writes in the exegesis of this verse of the Holy Quran:
