Why Did They Become Muslims

Not so is the case with Rasûlullah’s ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa
sallam’ relatives.
65– Each person’s progeny goes down through a chain of sons.
However, Muhammad’s ‘alaihis-salâm’ progeney goes down from
his daughter Fâtima. This fact is stated in a hadîth-i-sherîf.
66– True Believers carrying his blessed name will never enter
Hell.
67– Every statement he made is true, and so is everything he
did. Every ijtihâd he performed was corrected by Allâhu ta’âlâ.
68– It is farz for everybody to love him. He stated, “He who
loves Allâhu ta’âlâ will love me.” The indication of loving him is
to adapt yourself to his religion, to his way, to his Sunna, and to
his moral beauty. He was commanded to say, as is purported in
the Qur’ân al-kerîm, “If you follow me, Allâhu ta’âlâ will love

them means enmity towards me. He who hurts them will have hurt
me. He who hurts me will have hurt Allâhu ta’âlâ. And Allâhu
ta’âlâ will torment those who hurt Him.”
71– Allâhu ta’âlâ created four assistants to Muhammad
‘alaihis-salâm’, two in heaven and two on the earth. They are
Jebrâîl, Mikâîl, Abû Bakr, and ’Umar ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’anhum
ajma’în’, respectively.
72– Every human being has a jinnî friend, who is a fiend, an
unbeliever, and always infuses qualms into his heart, trying to
take away his îmân (belief) and to beguile him into committing
sins. The Rasûl ‘alaihis-salâm’ converted his jinnî friend to
