Answer:
Parents of prophet(saws)
in paradise
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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Time and time again, Allah Subhanah has made it extremely
clear in His Glorious Quran that the determination of whether one receives His
Mercy or His Punishment will not depend on one’s lineage or blood-relations;
but rather it will depend entirely upon the state of one’s belief and the good
righteous deeds done by that individual.
Allah Subhanah reveals in His Glorious Quran that some of
the closest relatives of the Prophets of Allah will be condemned to the Eternal
and Everlasting tortures of Hell Fire.
The most prominent amongst them are:
- Azar,
the father of Prophet Ibraheem (a.s.), the choicest friend and the
‘Khaleel’ of Allah Subhanah.
- The
wife of Prophet Nuh (a.s.).
- The
son of Prophet Nuh (a.s.).
- The
wife of Prophet Lut (a.s.).
- Abu
Lahab, the paternal uncle of the Prophet Mohamed (saws), and also the wife
of Abu Lahab.
Being a parent or a close blood-relative of a Prophet of
Allah by itself will not entitle one to enter Paradise; but what will determine
one’s entry into Paradise or Hell Fire is one’s belief in the Absolute Oneness
of Allah Subhanah and the doing of good righteous deeds, and above all the
Mercy and Grace of the Lord Most Merciful.
The Messenger of Allah (saws) himself made it very clear
to his own family that he (saws) could not save them if they were to disobey
Allah Subhanah!
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.294 Narrated by Abu Huraira
Allah's Messenger (saws) got up when the
Verse of the Quran (26:214): "And warn your tribe of near kindred..." was revealed and he (saws) said, "O
Quraish people! Buy yourselves! I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey
Him)! O Bani Abdu Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him)! O
'Abbas (r.a.) (the paternal uncle of the Prophet (saws))! The son of 'Abdul
Muttalib! I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him)! O Safiyah (r.a.),
(the paternal aunt of Allah's Messenger (saws))! I cannot save you from Allah
(if you disobey Him)! O Fatimah (r.a.), the daughter of Muhammad (saws)! Ask
what you wish from my property, but I cannot save you from Allah (if you
disobey Him)!"
Your
Statement: Do not translate hadith the wrong way. Both of rasullahs parents are
in Jannah
Sahih Muslim Hadith 398 Narrated by Anas ibn Malik
A companion whose father had died in the
‘Days of Ignorance’ came and asked the Prophet (saws): ‘O Messenger of Allah
(saws), where is my father?’ The Prophet (saws) replied: ‘He (you father) is in
the Hell Fire.’ When the companion
turned away, he (the Prophet (saws)) called him back and said: ‘Verily my
father and your father are both in the Hell Fire!’
Abu Hurairah
reported: "The Prophet (saws) visited his mother's grave and wept, and
everyone there wept with him (saws). Then the Prophet (saws) said: 'I
sought my Lord's permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not permit
me. I then sought permission to visit her grave and He permitted me to
visit her grave.’
Related by Muslim,
Ahmad, and Abu Dawud.
In light of the above authentic traditions of the
Messenger of Allah (saws), it is evident that the parents of the Prophet (saws)
did not die on the religion of Prophet Ibraheem (a.s.) nor on the belief of
monotheism. So much so, that Allah Subhanah did not even allow Prophet Mohamed
(saws) to even supplicate Him for the forgiveness of his own mother!!!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verse 113:
113 It is not fitting for the Prophet and those who believe that they
should pray for forgiveness for pagans, even though they be of kin, after it is
clear to them that they are companions of the Fire.
My dear and respected brother in Islam, For everything
that transpires or will transpire in the life of the ‘unseen’, we as believers
who sincerely believe in Allah and the Last Day are duty bound to trust and
accept only what is related by Allah and His Messenger (saws). My dear and respected brother in Islam,if you
have reason to believe that the parents of the Last and Final Messenger of
Allah (saws) are not in Hell Fire as related by the Prophet (saws) himself, but
rather in Paradise….in all humility and in sincerity we beseech you to provide
us with your proof and your evidence from either the Glorious Quran or the
authentic and established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws)!
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,
