 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا محمد وآل بيته طيبين الطاهرين بس بي أخونكم ورسبة لكم ورحمة لكم ورحمة لكم بشيعة كالندر معي علي معاش today is the 18th of Rajab it is a sad event as we send our condolences to the Imam of our time المهدي المنتظر بس بي أخونهم on the remembrance of the passing of the son of the messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his family ابراهيم ابن محمد peace be upon him the coinciding event that also falls on this day is the day on which the tyrant يزيد ابن معاوية grasped usurped, caliphate and took rule we will focus on the important event by shedding light on Ibrahim the son of the apostle of Allah peace be upon him and his family the apostle of Allah on the sixth year after Hijrah announced and began to propagate his divine prophetic message to the world inviting all of creation to the religion of submission the religion of Islam thus he began sending a group of Muslims as his ambassadors to the various rulers and kings around the vast continents he wrote a letter to each of them and invited them to Islam and announced to them the ruling associated with those who submit to Islam of the various points that was mentioned in the letter the one who submits to the divine message will be safe, protected at taking care of by the Islamic authority the content of all letters somewhat contained the same message he sent the likes of حط ابن أبي بلتع to Egypt to deliver the letter to the ruler of Alexandria المقاوقس when the ruler of Alexandria read the letter he took it with respect and stamped it and gave it to his maid to take care of it he replied to it with all respect and he sent it with the messenger along with the gift he the ruler of Alexandria knew that Muhammad is a prophet to be respected so he wanted to retain the favor he sent maidens as gifts to the apostle of Allah and that maiden was Maria the Coptic القبطية and her sister Serene and also a bond woman named Jaria to be servant to the maiden however it is important to note that although the ruler of Alexandria responded with respect he never did convert to Islam Maria or can be uttered as Mary or Maryam was from Hafen in a region located in Al-Zaqa she was not a Muslim at the time but she belonged to Ahl al-Kitab people of the book thus the prophet accepted the gift of المقاوقس Maria who is known to be from the daughters of the Simon by historians is reported to have converted to Islam by the apostle of Allah the prophet peace be upon him and his family chose her as his own wife and as for her sister Serene he gifted her to his poet Hassan ibn Thabit and he married her and from this marriage Abdulrahman was born Maria who was from tribe called Copt the Coptics and for that reason she is referred to as by the historians and tradition as Mary the Coptic peace be upon her she was a pious lady and sincere in her religion she was highly respected by the apostle of Allah and was generous and honorable in his eyes he paid and placed a lot of attention upon her after the loss of lady peace be upon her the prophet peace be upon him and his family placed a lot of attention upon her after lady peace be upon her she was the second one of his wives to bore him a child and because of this some of his other wives used to carry envy and jealousy towards her such as Aisha and Hafsa who even came to the point where they accused her of adultery when lady Maria peace be upon her came close to the end of her pregnancy the midwife who was Salma the wife of Abu Rafah informed her husband to inform the apostle of Allah about the birth of his child who was Abraham peace be upon him the prophet was so happy of this good news that he gifted Abu Rafah a servant as a sign of thanks for informing him of his son's pure birth this beautiful and auspicious occasion took place on the 8th of Dhul-Hajjah 8th year after Hijrah on the 7th day he sacrificed a sheep for him cut his son's hair and he gave silver equal to the weight of his cut hair these are general practices enforced by the prophet peace be upon him and his family which have become a sunnah till today the birthday of Abraham made the other wives of the prophet jealous and as a result they put lady Maria through a lot of pain and suffering unfortunately we do not have enough time to go through all of these details in this short episode this son of the prophet did not live for a very long time and he passed away on the 18th of Rajab 10 after Hijrah while he was only 18 months old he was buried in Al-Baqi'a and the prophet was in an intense grief over this loss in a report it is narrated that he said this grief will make everyone cry and render the hearts in sadness but we say nothing that makes God discontent in this tradition the prophet is teaching us that when facing a tragedy the one to return to is Allah سبحانه و تعالى because all souls will eventually return to their Creator on the night on which Abraham passed away a solar eclipse occurred and everyone thought that it was because of the loss of his son Abraham but the prophet had corrected them and informed them that this eclipse is a natural phenomenon and it is not related to his son's death the prophet wanted to rid the minds of all superstitions and ordered his nation to perform a special prayer when witnessing an ayah son from Allah this prayer called صلاة العيات my dear viewers to conclude we will report a couple more reports from the holy household which speak of the passing of Abraham these reports will give us an insight and from it examples and lessons can be extrapolated which we mentioned briefly earlier narrated on the authority of Imam Sadaq peace be upon him he said when Abraham passed away the prophet cried and said the eyes are crying and the heart is rendered however we do not say anything which discontents God he then turned to his son Abraham and said oh Abraham we are in grief over your death some of the companions of the prophet saw the prophet was weeping and was in grief and were surprised by this action hence they began to object this and said you told us not to cry for the dead yet now you are crying for the death of your loved ones the prophet said I had never told you not to cry for the death of your loved ones as these emotions show the sympathy and kindness and a person who does not sympathize with others is not blessed by God Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib peace be upon him the commander of the faithful took care of the gusl of the body of Abraham and shrouded him a group of Banu Hashim performed the funeral processions with the prophet and buried him in the cemetery of Al-Baqia that is what we have for you today for Abraham the son of Muhammad peace be upon him and his family we pray that you benefited from this program and we ask Allah to grant us the divine guidance so that we may continue to serve him by serving you peace be upon you وسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
