These photos are of Sayyidah Aminah’s resting place in al-Abwa.
Rasulallah ﷺ’s (his) mother here when he was only 6 years old. Approximately 50 years later, he came with thousands of his companions. This was the first time he ever returned so what did he do? He wept so intensely and with so much longing that all of the sahaba wept such that their beards soaked with tears.
He is the leader of creation and the master of the children of Adam ﷺ yet look at his love, yearning and humility for his noble mother.
Billion of women created but Lady Amina was chosen to carry the light of Rasulallah ﷺ.
She was the first to gaze upon his beautiful face. She was the first to embrace him, to kiss him, to hug him, and to rejoice his birth.
His birth ﷺ in Makkah was so illuminated and miraculous that Sayyidah Aminah was able to see the Palaces of Shaam.
She lost her husband so soon after her marriage and it hurt so much but on the day, she looked at the Beloved ﷺ for the first time, her heart was cured.
He went through the most tests but he was not seen except he would be praising Allah for His innumerable gifts. He lived through the most difficulty, yet a moment has not passed except that he has comforted the entire world through his mercy and kindness. رضى الله عنها
