Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqqas: A Short Lifestory
His name was Abu Ishak Saad. the name of His father is Abu Waqqas Malik. The name of his mother is Amna. Hazrat Saad was one of those few who became a Muslim at the beginning of Islam. His brother was Hazrat Umair. He was martyred in the battle of Badr. His mother created a scene when she heard about the Islam of Saad. This story was in the 6th year of Nobuat. Though he converted to Islam earlier, he didn’t tell his mother until the 6th year of Nobuat. She shouted aloud and told Saad to leave Islam. His mother, however, converted to Islam later.
Hazrat Saad was a very close friend of Abu Bakr. He got the news of Islam from that great man. He turned into a Muslim to Abu Bakr’s impression. According to Saad, he was the 3rd man of Islam. He did Hijrat to Medina with all other Muslims. He was a warrior and a true Mujahid. He participated in all the battles of Islam. He was the fighter of Allah and the fighter of the ideology of Muhammad (PBUH). He fought in Badr valiantly.
Hazrat Saad also contributed to the Uhud battle. In fact, he was an instinctive warrior. He was a wise man, as well. He was one of the major weapons of Islam. In the battle of Khondok, he uprooted an eye of a kafir and Rasulullah suddenly laughed at the scene. He was on many important charges during the khelafat of Abu Bakr. He brought a lot of subjugation for Islam during the khelafat of Omar. Hazrat Saad also contributed to the khelafat of Usman. After the martyr of Usman, he didn’t participate in the works of khelafat anymore. After the martyrdom of Usman, Muslims were divided into many groups. They couldn’t uphold the instruction of the Quran and Hadith about unity. They forgot about the teaching of the Quran about brotherhood. At that time, Saad remained neutral. He didn’t take any side. Hazrat Saad was very much worried about the situation of Muslims. He followed the belief that hurting a Muslim is always forbidden.
He was always busy with the thought of a Muslim world, and he always thought of the way to Allah and His Rasul. He was always busy doing welfare for Islam and Muslims. He was one of those ten men who were given the good news of Jannat. Hazrat Saad was the worrier who never left. He always kept himself busy in the works of Islam. He was a true worrier of Rasulullah. He should be an origin of inspiration for us. May Allah dignify him hereafter as he dignified him in the earth.
