Addressing The Parents Of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

It is stated that those who did not reach the era of the prophethood of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and did not commit Shirk, will not be punished. This is understood from the following verse of the Quran:

“And never would We punish until We sent a messenger.”

In fact, there are narrations that indicate that the parents of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam followed the Deen of Ebrahim Alaihis Salaam. There is yet another Hadith in which Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

“I went to the grave of my mother Aaminah and asked Allah to bring her back to life, so He brought her back to life, then she believed in me, then Allah sent her back.”

Instead of focusing on the Imaan and fate of the parents of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, we advise you to focus on your Imaan and obligations in Shari’ah. Allah says:

“That was a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.”
