3rd Rajab- Hazrat Uwaies Qarani the Great Aashiq e Rasool from Yemen [Radiyal Laah Anhu]
3rd Rajab -Spiritual Greatness of Hazrat Uwaies Qarani [Radiyal Laah Anhu].
Many times, in the company of his followers, the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] stated, "I can smell the beauty of my friend from the land of Yemen." This statement is in direct reference to the spiritual greatness of Hazrat Uwaies Qarani [Radiyal Laah Anhu].
Hazrat Umar [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] quotes Rasoolul Laah [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] as saying, "Oh, Umar! From
Yemen a man will arrive whose name is Uwaies. He cares for his old and frail
mother. If for anything, he takes an oath in the name of Allaah [Ta’aalaa],
Allaah Kareem] will fulfill his oath. If you can ask from him prayers for your
own forgiveness, then you must do so."

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

Love for Prophet & OwaisQarni-3rd Rajab : Hazrat Uwaies Qarani [Radiyal Laah Anhu]

Hazrat Uwaies Qarani [Radiyal Laah
Anhu] is a story that sets an example for all the Muslims as how even without
meeting the Prophet Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam), one may still
earn Allaah Kareem’s favor and His pleasure, on account of his unflinching love
for the Prophet Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam). Hazrat Uwaies Qarani [Radiyal Laah
Anhu] could never meet the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] in
person, but he is arguably the only person in Islaamic history who is said to
have been accorded the status of Honourable Sahaabi (companion) by none other
than Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] himself. |
