Prophet Muhammad’s (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) Special Blessings : A Touchstone for Muslim Moms ποΈ
Narrated Jaabir ibn βAbdullaah (radiyallaahu anh): Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said, βI have been given five (things) which were not given to anyone else before me:
- Allaah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one monthβs journey.
- The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for offering Salaat and a thing to purify (perform Tayammum), therefore anyone of my followers can offer Salaat wherever he is, at the time of Salaat.
- The booty has been made Halaal (lawful) to me yet it was not lawful to anyone else before me.
- I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection).
- Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.”
Significance of These Blessings
These unique blessings are significant for us as Muslim moms as they guide us in shaping our children’s Islamic understanding.
