The Rank of Ḥamzah B.ʿAbd Al-Muṭṭalib رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ
“O Allah!”, I pleaded, “Open my heart to the truth and remove doubt from me.” I had yet to complete my duꜤā when doubt left my heart and certainty became deep-rooted. I then went to the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and mentioned everything that had occurred. He proceeded to make duꜤā for me.[1]
Quranic verse regarding the excellence of Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ
Dear Islamic brothers! When Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was blessed with Islam, the following verse was revealed regarding his high rank:
اَوَ مَنۡ کَانَ مَیۡتًا فَاَحۡیَیۡنٰہُ وَ جَعَلۡنَا لَہٗ نُوۡرًا یَّمۡشِیۡ بِہٖ فِی النَّاسِ کَمَنۡ مَّثَلُہٗ فِی الظُّلُمٰتِ لَیۡسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِّنۡہَا ؕ
Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: And will the one who was dead; so, We raised him to life and set for him a light with which he walks amongst the people, ever be like that one who is in darkness which he is never to come out from?[2]
O devotees of Allah’s Messenger! An intriguing philosophy of life is mentioned in this verse. Generally, movement is called life. The person who breathes, speaks, listens and moves is referred to as living. Yet in this verse, the Quran gives an entirely different meaning of what it means to be alive. Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was over 40 years old at that time. He moved, ate, drank and hunted, yet Allah stated:
