All of the Prophet’s sons passed away at a young age, whereas his daughters lived longer. Ladies Zaynab, Ruqayyah and Umm Kulthūm     رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُنَّ passed away during the lifetime of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, whereas Lady Fāṭimah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا passed away after the Prophet’s passing. The blessed lineage of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم only continued through Lady Fāṭimah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا, so every Sayyid today is a descendant of Imams Ḥasan and Ḥusayn رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُمَا. To learn more about the children of the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, read “Aqa صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم Ke Shehzade au Shehzadiyan”, a small book published by Maktaba tul Madinah.

Punishment for those who have hatred towards the Ahl al-Bayt

Dear Islamic brothers, just as there are many virtues and blessings for loving the blessed family of the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, there are also many warnings for those who have hatred and enmity for the pure family.

ꜤAbdullah b. ꜤAbbās رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُمَا reports that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “If someone offers salah between the Kaaba and Maqām Ibrāhīm, stays there and observes fasts, but dies with hatred in his heart for the Ahl al-Bayt, he will enter Hell.”^[1]

If a Sayyid sins

Dear Islamic brothers, remember, even if a Sayyid sins, it is not permissible to disrespect him. The respect afforded to them will remain
