Children and descendants of Prophet mohamed

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

How many children did the Prophet Mohammed PBUH have - and how can we trace the decendents 

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Children and descendants of Prophet Mohamed

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His  forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

The Messenger of Allah (saws) had seven children: six from his first marriage to Hadrat Khadijah (r.a.), and one from Hadrat Maria Kibtiya (r.a.).

 

From Hadrat Khadijah:

Zainab

Ruqayya

Umm-Kulthoom

Fatema

Qasim

Abdullah

 

And from Hadrat Maria:

7. Ibrahim.

 

Your Question: and how can we trace the decendents 

There are many charts which depict the descendants of Prophet Mohamed (saws) until the 12th, or maximum 20th generations drawn up by various scholars. But if one wants to trace all the descendants until today, it would indeed be a tedious task; as Allah Alone knows how many of the descendants may be alive today.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
