'The Only Living Sahabi Tree'
The Blessed Tree
A living tree which had sheltered
Rasul Allah
(صلى الله عليه و سلم )
Did you not see how
Allah illustrated the example of a sacred saying? Like a sacred tree,
which has firm roots and branches reaching into heaven.
Bearing fruit at all times by the command of its Lord; and Allah illustrates examples for people so that they may understand.
[Ibrahim 14:24-25]
“The thing that deserves
to be loved most is that which brings forth the from the depths of our
spirits the recollection of the Divine Name. The title of the Holy
Prophet of Islam is Habib Allah, the beloved of God. This hub, this love
for the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) could be described as the great transformative emotion of Islam”.
-Abdal Hakim Murad
“This tree was blessed with the touch of the Messenger of God (صلى الله عليه وسلم)”
-Shaykh Al-Habib Ali Al-Jifri
A recent research in Jordan leads way to yet another proof on legitimacy of Islam and its messenger Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم).
For actual believers simple statements from Allah are adequate to
believe the truth. But those who restrain from real faith might ask for
solid evidences. Allah will show ample evidences on His realities time
and again as a reminder to those who still disbelieve.
There are some people who
are reluctant to believe the reality even after knowing the truth owing
to their ego or pride. Another category of people will embrace correct
faith by mercy of Allah upon viewing the evidences. Those who believe
truth from Allah and set their lifestyle according to commands of Allah
will be protected from pitiless hell fire and rewarded Paradise filled
with immeasurable blessings.
So, humbly we introduce
facts to those who might understand the truth and may by mercy of Allah
turn to correct faith and religion.
Allah has stated in Qura’n
البقرة – 146
“The people of the book know this as they know their own sons, but some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know.”
Hundreds of evidences were given in ancient Vedas, Tourah and Bible (old Books) on appearance of the Last Messenger, Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم).
Many verses can be seen stating name, native and characteristics of the
Last Messenger even in recent day copies of old Books though those
books had gone through many human interventions and adjustments.
Thus people who know the
Last Messenger from Allah from old Books were in anticipation of Him.
Here comes story of Bahira, a Christian monk lived in Busra, south of
Syria and his zeal to meet the Last Messenger. He happened to watch a
caravan of Arabian merchants from Makkah passing by and a young boy is
being shaded by clouds wherever he goes. He at once understood
significance of the boy and invited the caravan for a banquet.
All members of the caravan
attended the feast except the boy whom he was anxiously waiting. So he
looked out and found the boy resting under a tree. As per his knowledge
of Bible only a Prophet will rest under that tree. So he urged the
caravan members to bring that boy to the banquet. He quizzed the boy and
concluded that He is the Last Messenger explained in Bible. Bahira
convinced the boy’s uncle Abu Talib to return to Makkah with the boy as
Jews are in search for Him to harm.
This incident was when our
Beloved Prophet of Allah
صلى الله عليه وسلمwas 12 years old (1459 hijri years ago).
The tree which shaded Rasoolullahi (صلى الله عليه و سلم) is miraculously preserved by Allah for all this long period. It is the lonely tree available for around hundred square kilometers in that inhospitable desert north of Jordan.
A
meditation on the themes of love of the Prophet , veneration of holy
sites, grace and symbolism. This film tells the story of the meeting
between the Prophet Muhammad and a Christian monk named Bahira. The
meeting happened in the shade of a tree. Fourteen hundred years later
that same tree was discovered still alive in the northern deserts of
Jordan. The only tree alive in hundreds of square miles of emptiness.
This tree is a link to the life of the Prophet and a place of pilgrimage
today...
“The Prophet sitting
under this tree, and its reacting to the Prophet makes the tree the only
living terrestrial witness to the Prophet , what we would call in
Arabic a sahabi.”
H.R.H. Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad
“In this place, we pray to God to make our hearts containers of the love of the Prophet.”
Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Sa‘id Ramadan Al-Buti
