"SubhanAllah, the story of Hazrat Owais Qarni (RA) is a profound example of devotion, love, and sacrifice. Despite never meeting Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in person, his unwavering faith and deep love for the Prophet ﷺ earned him the honor of being called a Sahabi.
Born in Yemen, he devoted his life to serving his blind and ailing mother while living a life of fasting and piety. His desire to meet the Prophet ﷺ was immense, yet he chose obedience to his mother over his longing. When the Prophet ﷺ’s teeth were martyred in the Battle of Uhud, out of love, Hazrat Owais Qarni (RA) broke his own teeth as an expression of solidarity and devotion.
The Prophet ﷺ, acknowledging his unmatched love and care for his mother, gifted him his blessed cloak (Jubbah Mubarak) through Hazrat Ali (RA) and Hazrat Umar (RA). The Prophet ﷺ even requested Hazrat Owais Qarni (RA) to pray for the forgiveness of the entire Ummah.
A timeless reminder that serving one’s parents and unconditional love for Allah and His Messenger ﷺ elevate one’s rank in ways beyond imagination. 💫
