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:

As sallam aalikum

I want to ask you some questions about Prophets mohamad , how many childrens did mohamad rasul salalahuasalam have 

(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 of Prophet (saws)

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.

Allah Subhanah blessed and bestowed the Messenger of Allah (saws) with total seven children: four daughters and three sons. Six of these seven children were from his first marriage to Hadrat Khadijah (r.a.), and one from Hadrat Maria Kibtiya (r.a.).

From Hadrat Khadijah (r.a.):

1. Zainab binte Mohamed
2. Ruqayya binte Mohamed
3. Umm-Kulthoom binte Mohamed
4. Fatema binte Mohamed
5. Qasim ibn Mohamed
6. Abdullah ibn Mohamed

And from Hadrat Maria (r.a.):

7. Ibrahim ibn Mohamed

All the Prophet’s (saws) children except Hadrat Fatema (r.a.), died during his (saw’s) lifetime.

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

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
