RASÛLULLAH’S (sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam) PARENTS, HIS GRANDPARENTS WERE ALL BELIEVERS (III)

Molla Jâmi ‘rahmatullâhi ’alaih’ says in his Persian book Shawâhid-un-Nubuwwa: “A nûr (holy light) shone on Âdam’s forehead ‘’alaihissalâm’ because he bore a mote of hadrat Muhammad ‘’alaihissalâm’. This mote was passed on to Hadrat Hawwa and from her to Hadrat Shis, thus passing from innocent men to innocent women and from innocent women to innocent men. The nûr, together with the mote, passed from foreheads to foreheads.”

_{It is written on the forty-eighth page of the book Qisas-i-Anbiyâ (History of Prophets): “If one of Rasûlullah’s grandfathers had had two sons or if a tribe had been divided into two branches, the descendants of the Last Prophet would be on the better side. In each century, the person who was his grandfather was evident by the nûr on his forehead. Ismâil ‘’alaihis-salâm’ also had the nûr on his forehead. It shone like planet Venus. This nûr, an inheritance from his father, passed from him on to his descendants, thus reaching Me’add and Nizâr.}

_{‘Nizâr’ means ‘a little.’ He was named Nizâr due to the following event: When he was born, his father Me’add, being pleased to see the nûr on his son’s forehead, gave a feast and said that the feast was only a little thing for such a son, thus causing his name to remain as Nizâr. This nûr was the nûr of Hadrat Muhammad. Passing from son to son since Hadrat Âdam, it came to its owner, Khâtem-ul-anbiyâ, i.e. Hadrat Muhammad.So, among the sons of Hadrat Âdam, there was a distinguished race carrying Hadrat Muhammad’s nûr; in each century, the face of a person of this race was very beautiful and very bright. By this nûr he was conspicuous among his brothers, and the tribe he belonged to was more exalted and more honourable than other tribes.”}
