The Exalted Status of Hazrat Uwaies Qarani
[Radiyal Laah Anhu]

Hazrat Uwaies Qarani [Radiyal Laah Anhu]
was born in Asir region of Saudi Arabia, 594CE. His father, Aamir, was a
God-fearing person. He gave Islaamic education to his son but died leaving
Hazrat Owais an orphan at a young age. The family was poor and could not afford
higher education for him. He devoted him to praying, fasting and service to his
mother. Hazrat Uwaies Qarani [Radiyal Laah Anhu] had profound love for Islaam
and its Beloved Messenger.
Hazrat Uwaies Qarani [Radiyal Laah Anhu]
learned that there is a great reward in Islaam for serving parents. His mother
was sick and blind. So, he devoted himself solely to the service of his mother.
During Prophet (peace be upon him)’s
last days, he asked Hazrat Umar and Hazrat Alee to pass his Jubba (the blessed
cloak) to Hazrat Qaarni and ask him to
pray for the forgiveness of the Muslim Ummah. This demonstrates the exalted
status of Hazrat Uwaies Qarani
