mother and as such, the mothers of the prophets see – and know that the mother of the Messenger of Allah saw as she gave birth to me, a light emitting from her that lit the palaces of Syria, till she saw them."
This is a very important hadith as it draws our attention to the overlooked, very high rank of Lady
Aminah, may Allah be pleased with her, by placing her in the elite company of Prophets Abraham and
Jesus thereby negating the opinion of those who consider her to be just among the people of an
upright nature before Islam. This prophetic quotation is proof that she is the first among the close friends of Allah (awlia) in Islam, and that she is the honorable mother of the family of the Prophet's
house, since she saw with
the eye of the close friends of
Allah (awlia). This degree of ranking is
referenced to in the Divine hadith, where Allah says, "I will be his sight with which he sees". This
means that she saw the palaces not with her regular eyesight, which would be impossible, but with
her son's light. Therefore, lighting the world.
