Hazrat Umme Haraam bint Milhaan — Page 7
Hazrat Umme-Haraam ra 7 accepted Islam right away. Hazrat Sulaim ra , the second brother of Hazrat Umme Haraam ra , was also martyred in this expedition. 3 Such a passion for Islam was not only seen in Hazrat Umme Haraam’s ra brothers, it was also evident in her sister, Hazrat Umme Sulaim ra. She presented her ten- year-old son, Anas, to the Holy Prophet s as and said to him, ‘It is my great desire that he should serve you. Please include him among your servants and pray for him. ’ The first marriage of Hazrat Umme Haraam ra was with Hazrat Amr bin Qais ra , who was among the first followers of Islam. By the Grace of Allah, their young son, Hazrat Qais bin Amr ra was also among the first people to accept Islam. It is evident that the light of Islam illumined the entire household and all of them, men, women and children, were ready to sacrifice their lives for Islam and the Holy Prophet Muhammad s as.
