Sayyidah Izzah Bint-e-Abi Sufyan رضى الله عنها

 

Umm-ul-Momineen ki hamsheera:

 

Nam Izzah, Walid ka nam Abu Sufyan Bin Harab hai. Yeh Zamana-e-Jahiliyat mein Quraish ka aik sar’karda sardar tha. Sayyidah Izzah ki hamsheera Umm-e-Habiba Ramla Bint-e-Abu Sufyan Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki biwi thein.

Jab Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay apnay Sahaba Karaam رضى الله عنها ko Habsha kay hukumran Najashi kay han hijrat kar kay janay ki aur wahan zindagi basar  karnay ki ijazat day di thi, Kiunkeh us kay han kisi par zulam nahin kiya jata tha to Sayyidah Umm-e-Habiba صلى الله عنها nay apnay deen ki khatir apnay khawand Ubaidullah Bin Jahash kay sath Habsha ki taraf hijrat ikhtiyar ki.

Aik din aisa huwa keh un ka khawand Ubaidullah Bin Jahash neend say bedar huwa to us nay Umm-e-Habiba ko bataya keh mein Nasraniyat ki taraf palat gaya hoon, Jis kay sath Islam qabool karnay say pehlay mein wabasta tha. Is liye meri raaye mein Deen-e-Nasraniyat Islam say behtar hai. Phir woh kasrat kay sath sharab-noshi karnay laga, Yahan tak keh us ki moat waaqe ho gai.

Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنه nay abhi iddat ki muddat poori ki hi thi keh Habsha kay hukumran Najashi ki kaneez un kay pas pegham lay kar aai aur bataya keh Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay meray aaqa ki taraf khat bheja hai aur usay yeh kaha hai keh aap ki shadi ka un kay sath ahtimam karein. Yeh khabar sun kar Farhat-o-Inbisaat say jhoomatay huaye Abarha say kaha: Allah tujhay khush rakhay aur Khair-o-Barkat ata karay.

Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay Amar Bin Umayya Zamri ko Najashi ki taraf bheja aur usay yeh pegham diya keh woh Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنها kay sath un ki shadi ka ahtimam karein. Khalid Bin Saeed Bin Aas nay nikah ki zimmadari ko poora kiya, Kiunkeh yeh Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنه kay qareebi azeez thay. In ko Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنها ka wali muqarrar kar diya gaya. Habsha kay hukumran Najashi nay Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki taraf say char so (400) dinar haq mahar ada kiya.

Haq mahar ki raqam Sharjeel Bin Hasana ki wasatat say Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنها ko pohanchaai aur Najashi nay waleemay ka ahtimam apni taraf say kiya. Jis mein Jafar Bin Abi Talib aur dusray musalman bhi shareek huaye jo hijrat kar kay Habsha aaye thay.

Jab Abu Sufyan ko bataya gaya keh us ka damad Ubaidullah Bin Jahash Nasraniyat say wabasta ho kar wafat pa gaya hai to woh yeh khabar sun kar khush huwa kiunkeh us ki beti Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنها us kay ilm kay bagher hi Islam qabool kar kay Habsha ki taraf hijrat kar gai thi, Ab woh nadim ho kar us kay pas wapis aa jaye gi.

Jab Abu Sufyan ko bataya gaya keh teri beti ki shadi Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم say ho gai hai, Woh us waqat mushrik tha aur Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم kay khilaf Barsar-e-Peekaar tha, Jab usay yeh pata chala k us ki beti nay Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم say shadi kar li hai to us nay barjasta kaha keh bila-shuba Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم aik aisi zaat hai jisay mustarad nahin kiya ja sakta.

Habsha say Muhajireen ki wapisi kay bad Sayyidah Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنها nay bhi Madinah ki taraf apni dosri hijrat ki s’aadat hasil ki. Jab Allah T’aala nay Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنها ki behan kay sath Khair-o-Bhalai ka irada kiya to us kay dil ko munawwar aur Islam ki hidayat say sarfaraz kar diya. Us nay Makkah Muazzamah mein apnay baap ko bataye bagher Islam qabool kar liya, Phir us nay Madinah Munawwarah ki taraf hijrat ki aur apni behan Umm-e-Habiba رضى الله عنها say ja mili.

 

Baap ka islam qabool karna:

 

Fatah-e-Makkah kay moqa par jab Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay Makkah Muazzamah ki taraf rukh kiya to Allah T’aala nay Abu Sufyan kay sath Khair-o-Bhalai ka irada kiya aur us nay Islam qabool kar liya. Muhammad Bin Amar Raazi say riwayat hai keh jab Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم Marr-ul-Zahran maqam say guzray to Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه nay bayan kiya keh mein nay Soorat-e-Haal dekhatay huaye kaha keh agar Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم Makkah Muazzamah mein yoon hi dakhil ho gaye aur Quraish nay Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir ho kar amaan talab na ki to woh Tabah-o-Barbad ho jayein gay.

Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه kehtay hain keh mein Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khachar par sawar ho gaya, Mein nay kaha shayad koi Makkah Muazzama ka koi zaroorat-mand shakhas mujh say mil jaye to woh Rasoolullah kay baray mein bata day ga keh woh Lashkar-e-Islam kay sath falan jagah pohanch chukay hain, Taa’keh woh Makkah walon ko ja kar bata day aur woh Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir ho kar amaan talab kar lein. Mein abhi khachar par sawar yeh sochta huwa ja raha tha keh mujhay Abu Sufyan aur Budail Bin Warqa batein kartay huaye sunai diye. Mein nay kaha: Aye Abu Hanzala! Us nay meri aawaz ko pehchan liya. Us nay kaha: Abu-ul-Fazal ho رضى الله عنه…..?

Mein nay kaha han! Us nay kaha: Meray maan baap qurban hon! Tum yahan kaisay? Mein nay kaha: Yeh dekho! Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم aur un kay sath logon ka Jam-e-Ghafeer. Abu Sufyan nay kaha: Ab kya hoga? Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه nay kaha keh mera khayal hai keh agar tum un kay hathay chadh gaye to maray jao gay. Is tarah karo yeh Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khachar hai jis par mein sawar hoon, Tum bhi is par sawar ho jao, Ham Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم kay pas chaltay hain, Mein un say tumharay liye panah talab karoon ga. Woh meray pichay sawar ho gaya aur us ka sathi Budail Bin Wara wapis chala gaya. Abbas رضى الله عنه aur Sufyan sawari par chalay ja rahay thay aur musalman un kay rastay ki rukawtein door kar rahay thay. Umar Bin Khattab رضى الله عنه nay in donon ko dekha to dekhtay hi kaha: Aray Allah ka dushman Abu Sufyan hai? Allah T’aala ka shukar hai aaj yeh meri zad mein aa gaya hai.

Umar bin Khattab رضى الله عنه nay aagay badh kar Abu Sufyan ko qaboo karna chaha lekin khachar teezi say aagay badh gai, Umar Bin Khattab رضى الله عنه pichay doday taa’keh Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم say Abu Sufyan kay qatal ki ijazat talab karein. Huwa yeh keh Abbas رضى الله عنه aur Abu Sufyan Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir ho gaye aur pichay hi Umar Bin Khattab رضى الله عنه bhi pohanch gaye. Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه nay kaha: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Mein nay Abu Sufyan ko panah day di hai. Umar Bin Khattab رضى الله عنه nay kaha: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Mujhay ijazat dijiye keh mein Abu Sufyan ki gardan uda doon.

Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه nay kaha: Aye Umar رضى الله عنه! Zara thehriye, Agar Abu Sufyan Banu Adi Bin Ka’ab say hota to mein is tarah na kehta jis tarah tum keh rahay ho. Tum jantay ho keh yeh Qabila-e-Banu Abad-e-Manaf mein say hai. Sayyiduna Umar Bin Khattab رضى الله عنه nay kaha: Aye Abbas رضى الله عنه! Meri baat zara ghor say suno, Allah ki qasam! Teray Islam qabool karnay say mujhay itni zayada khushi hui hai keh agar mera baap Islam qabool kar leta to mujhay itni zayada khushi na hoti. Yeh batein ho rahi thein keh Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay hukum day diya keh Abu Sufyan ko apnay ghar lay jao aur subah meray pas lao. Is tarah Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم kay hukum ki tameel ki gai, Lekin Abu Sufyan rat bhar na so sakay, Woh is gham mein mubtala tha keh maloom nahin anjam kya hoga.

Woh sari rat jagtay rahay, Subah hui to Sayyiduna Abbas رضىى الله عنه Abu Sufyan ko lay kar Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir huaye. Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya: Abu Sufyan! Baday afsos ki bat hai, Kya abhi waqat nahin aaya keh tum لا اله الا الله ki haqqaniyat ko jan lo?

Abu Sufyan nay kaha: Meray maan baap Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم par qurban hon! Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم kitnay buradbar, Muazziz aur sila rahmi karnay walay hain. Agar Allah kay siwa koi aur Ilah (اله) hota to meri yeh haalat na hoti.

Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya: Abu Sufyan baday afsos ki bat hai, Kya abhi waqat nahin aaya keh tum ko yeh maloom ho keh Mein Allah ka Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم hoon. Abu Sufyan nay kaha: Meray maan baap Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم par qurban hon, Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم kitnay burad’bar, Raham dil, Muazziz, Sakhi aur sila rahmi karnay walay hain, Meray dil mein yeh ahsas peda ho gaya hai keh Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم waqai Allah kay Rasool hain.

Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه farmatay hain keh mera dil pareshan tha, Kiunkeh Sayyiduna Umar Bin Khattab رضى الله عنه is baat kay muntazir thay keh kab mujhay ishara diya jaye aur mein Abu Sufyan ki gardan uda doon. Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya: Abu Sufyan! Islam qabool kar lo, Is say pehlay keh teri gardan uda di jaye. Us nay Islam qabool kar liya aur Kalma-e-Shahadat padh liya aur haq ki gawahi di.

Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه nay kaha: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Abu Sufyan ko apnay Islam qabool karnay par fakhar hai, Is ko kuch inaam say nawazein, Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya: han!

 

“من دخل دار ابى سفيان فھو آمن”

 

“Jo aaj Abu Sufyan kay ghar dakhil ho jaye ga woh aman mein hoga.”

 

“ومن اغلق دارہ فھو آمن”

 

“Aur jo ghar ka darwaza band kar lay ga woh aman mein ho ga.”

 

“ومن دخل المسجد فھو آمن”

 

“Aur jo Masjid-e-Haraam mein dakhil ho jaye ga woh aman mein hoga.”

 

Log yeh aelan sun kar apnay gharon mein aur Masjid-e-Haraam mein dakhil ho kar panah mein aa gaye.

 

(Sunan Abi Dawood, Kitab-ul-Kharaj, باب: ما جاء فى خبر مکة: 3022)

 

Fatah-e-Makkah ka din:

 

Sahih Bukhari mein hai, Jab Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم Fatah-e-Makkah kay din chaltay huaye Quraish kay pas pohanchay to Abu Sufyan, Hakeem Bin Hizaam aur Budail Bin Warqa Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khabar maloom karnay kay liye apnay gharon say nikal kar idhar udhar phir rahay thay, Woh ghoomtay phirtay “Marr-ul-Zahran” jagah par pohanchay to jagah jagah aag kay alaao jal rahay thay, Jaisay Arfah kay din jala kartay hain. Abu Sufyan nay kaha: Yeh alaao to Meedan-e-Arfa ka manzar pesh kar rahay hain. Budail Bin Warqa nay kaha: Yeh Qabila Banu Amar kay log hain. Abu Sufyan nay keha: Nahin! Banu Amar qabeela to tadad mein bhot thoda hai, Itnay mein Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم kay pehray daron nay in teenon ko dekh liya aur unhein giraftar kar kay Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein pesh kar diya.

Abu Sufyan nay Islam qabool kar liya. Jab Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه Abu Sufyan ko lay kar chalay to us nay kaha: Aye Abbas رضى االه عنه zara ruko, Taakeh mein musalmanon ko dekh sakoon, Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه ruk gaye. Qabaail guzar rahay thay, Aik aik qabila Abu Sufyan kay pas say guzar raha tha. Aik qabila guzra to Abu Sufyan nay Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه say poocha: Aye Abbas! Yeh kon sa qabila hai? Unhon nay bataya yeh Qabila-e-Banu Ghaffaar hai. Abu Sufyan nay kaha: Mujhay Banu Ghaffaar say kya lena dena.

Phir Qabila-e-Juhaina guza, Us nay phir poocha to Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه nay usay bataya, Phir Saad Bin Huzaim guzra to Abu Sufyan nay phir pehlay wala sawal poocha to usay bataya gaya. Phir Qabila-e-Banu Sulaim ka lashkar guzra. Phir bhot bada lashkar guzra, Itna bada lashkar is say pehlay nahin dekha gaya tha. Poocha yeh kon hain? Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه nay bataya kay yeh Ansaar hain, Is lashkar ka ameer Saad Bin Ubadah hai, Jhanda uskay hath mein tha, Saad Bin Ubada nay kaha: Aye Abu Sufyan aaj khoon-rez jang hogi. Aaj agar koi Ka’aba mein bhi dakhil hoga us ko bhi nahin choda jaye ga. Abu Sufyan ghabra gaya, Us kay bad aik chota sa lashkar guzra, Us mein Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم aur chand Sahaba Karaam رضى الله عنهم thay, Jhanda Zubair Bin Awam kay hath mein tha. Jab Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم Abu sufyan kay pas say guzray to unhon nay kaha: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Kya aap ko maloom hai keh Saad Bin Ubada nay kya kaha? Woh kehta hai keh aaj khoon-rez jang hogi, Kisi bhi dushman ko nahin choda jaye ga. Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya: Saad ghalat kehta hai, Aaj Ka’aba ki tazeem ko Malhooz-e-Khatir rakha jaye ga, Aaj Ka’aba ko ghilaf pehnaya jaye ga. Rawi kehta hai keh Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay hukum diya keh jhanda Hajoon maqam par gaad diya jaye.

Urwa kehtay hain keh mujhay Naafe Bin Jubair Bin Mutim nay bataya, Woh kehtay hain keh mein nay Abbas say suna, Woh Zubair Bin Awam say keh rahay thay, Aye Abu Abdullah! Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay tujhay yeh jhanda yahan gadnay ka hukum diya hai? Us nay kaha: Han Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay Khalid Bin Waleed ko yeh hukum diya keh woh Makkah mein balai janib Kada say dakhil ho. Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم Makkah Mukarrama mein Kada say dakhil huaye. Khalid Bin Waleed kay lashkar mein shamil shehsawaron kay hathon do shakhas qatal huaye, Aik Habeesh Bin Ash’ar tha aur doosra Kurz Bin Jabir Fahri.

 

(Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Maghazi, باب: اين رکز النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم رايته يوم الفتح: 4280)

 

Lashkar-e-Islam kay Makkah Muazzama mein dakhil honay say pehlay Abu Sufyan apni qoam kay pas pohanch gaya. Us nay apni qoam ko bataya: Aye meri qoam! Mein nay Islam qabool kar liya hai, Tum bhi musalman ho jao, Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم Lashkar-e-Jarar kay sath aa rahay hain, Itna bada lashkar tum nay pehlay kabhi nahin dekha hai, Tum is ka muqabla nahin kar sako gay.

 

(Seerat Ibn-e-Hishaam (Safha: 545), Tabqaat Ibn-e-Saad (2/134-135))

 

Itnay mein Fateh-e-Aazam Sayyiduna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم Makkah Muazzamah mein dakhil ho gaye. Masjid-e-Haraam mein dakhil ho kar Baitullah kay andar aur us kay irad girad rakhay gaye tamam buton ko hatanay ka hukum day diya. Log joq-dar-joq Deen-e-Islam mein dakhil honay lagay. Hind nay bhi dekh liya aur woh is natijay par pohanchi keh Quraish aaj kay bad ab nahin uth sakein gay, Lihaza woh bhi auraton kay sath mil kar Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir ho gai, Taa’keh Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم kay hath par bait kar lay. Jab auratein Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir huien to Hind Bint-e-Utba nay naqab odh rakha tha. Hind nay aagay badh kar chehray say naqab hataya aur araz kiya: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Mein Hind Bint-e-Utba hoon, Islam qabool karna chahti hoon, Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم kay mubarak hath par bait ki arzoo-mand hoon. Rasool-e-Rahmat Nabi-e-Akram صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya:

 

“مرحبا بك”

 

“Khush Aamdeed”

 

Is tarah Abu Sufyan ka khandan Daaira-e-Islam mein dakhil ho gaya aur sab Izzah Bint-e-Abi Sufyan aur Umm-e-Habiba Bint-e-Abi Sufyan رضى الله عنهما kay sath ikatthay ho gaye. Phir is gulshan mein bahaar aa gai, Phir sab apni zindagi bhar-poor andaz mein basar kar kay Allah ko peyaray ho gaye.

Allah T’aala in sab par Apni rahmat ki barkha barsaaye aur sab hi ko Apni raza say nawazay. Aameen Ya Rabbul-Salameen!
