“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

Abu Nua’im writes in Dala’il al-Nabuwwa, with the chain of Ibn Abbas (ra) that the Prophet ﷺ said,‘Allah continued to transfer me from the loins of the pure to the wombs of the pure, clean and mannered. No two groups have appeared except I was the best of the two.’

Imam Tirmidhi has recorded a Hadith which he classified as Hasan (Fair) as well as Imam Baihaqi from Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (ra) that the Prophet ﷺ said,‘When Allah created me, He made me from the best of creations. Then when he created the tribes, he made me from the best of tribes. And when He created souls (nafs) He made me from the best of souls. Then when He created households, He made me from the best of households. Thus I am the best in terms of household, and the best in terms of souls.’

Imam Tabrani writes in Awsat and Imam Baihaqi in Dala’il, from Aisha (ra) that the Prophet ﷺ said,‘Jibrael (as) said to me, ‘I have searched the earth, the easts and the wests. And I did not find a man better than Muhammad ﷺ, and I did not find a clan better than the clan of Bani Hashim.’

Imam Abd al-Razzaq wrote in al-Musannaf, from the chain of Ma’mar, from Ibn Juraij, from Ibn al-Mussaiyab; Ali ibn Abu Talib (ra) said,‘The earth has continuously been occupied with at least seven Muslims or more. If this was not the case, the earth and its inhabitants would have perished.’

Ibn al-Munzir has mentioned in his exegesis with a sound chain, from Ibn Juraij in the commentary of the verse ‘O Allah! Make me[Ibrahim] an establisher of Prayer, and from my offspring’; he said, ‘there has remained from the offspring of Ibrahim to our Prophet people on Fitra who have worshipped Allah.

‘And (remember) when Ibrahim said to his father and his people: “Verily, I am innocent of what you worship. Except Him (i.e. I worship none but Allah Alone) Who did create me, and verily, He will guide me. And he made it [i.e. La ilaha ill-Allah] a Word lasting among his offspring (True Monotheism), that they may turn back. (43/26-28)
In an explanation of this verse, the following quote is from Ibn Abbas (ra),‘The saying of Allah ‘Word lasting among his offspring’ means that La ilaha ill-Allah remains in the offspring of Ibrahim.’

Allama Sharstani writes in al-Milal wa al-Nihal,‘The religion (Din) of Ibrahim remained established, and the monotheism of Allah remained widespread amongst the Arabs. And the first to alter the religion of Ibrahim and initiate the worship of idols was Amr ibn Luhaiiy.’

According to the experts, from the time of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to Kab ibn Luhiy, all his fathers were adherents of the Abrahamic faith, and Kab’s son Marra was also firm on this religion (as his father advised him to remain firm on this path). Between Marra and Abd al-Muttalib, there were four fathers; Kalaab, Qusa, Abd Munaf and Hashim. We have already highlighted evidence to show these men were adherents to monotheism.

1. the parents belonged to the period of Fitra (nature). The closest Prophet prior to this period was Isa (peace be upon him), who appeared six hundred years before our Prophet ﷺ. During this period, the divine scripture revealed to Isa had become subject to alterations and changes. If they wanted to hear the truth, who would they hear it from? Furthermore, Isa (as) was only sent for the guidance of Bani Israel, not for people universally. Isa did not preach the people of Arabia, and nor did his disciples. In light of these facts, the saying of Allah is applicable to such people of Fitra;‘And We do not torment until We send a Messenger.’(17/15)

Allama Ali ibn Burhan al-Din writes in See’rah Halbiyya That:‘Allama Ibn Hajr al-Haithami has mentioned that the correct opinion in which there is no doubt is that the people of Fitra are recipients of salvation. These are the ones to whom a messenger has not been sent to entrust them with the faith in Allah. Thus the Arabs- even in the time when prophets were sent to Bani Israel- were the People of Fitra, because these prophets were not instructed to preach the Arabs. Their task of preaching was restricted to Bani Israel.’ (Seerah Halbiyya. Imam Muhammad Abu Zuhra, vol. I, p. 103).‘And never will your Lord destroy the towns (populations) until He sends to their mother town a Messenger reciting to them Our Verses’ (28/59)

The scholars have divided the People of Fitra into three categories;
a. The first are those beings who through their own enlightened insight were able to deduce the oneness of Allah, like Qus ibn Sa’ida, Zaid ibn Amr ibn Nawfal and some of the kings of the community of Tubba.
b. The second are those who diverted from the religion of Ibrahim and began worshipping idols. They forced this misguided belief onto others too, like Amr ibn Lahy. There is no doubt that such people are destined for the Fire of Hell.
c. The third are those who through their lack of knowledge and disregard refrained from accepting other beliefs and remained firm on monotheism. They did not indulge in polytheism and idol-worship. These are the people who fall under the verse ‘And We do not torment until We send a Messenger.’

Heart of a momin is the place of occupancy of Allah.no intellect, no senses can gain this level except that it’s a favour from Allah.
