Re: Was she a muslim???
009.113
SHAKIR: It is not (fit) for the Prophet and those who believe that they should ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even though they should be near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are inmates of the flaming fire.
009.114
SHAKIR: And Ibrahim asking forgiveness for his sire was only owing to a promise which he had made to him; but when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, he declared himself to be clear of him; most surely Ibrahim was very tender-hearted forbearing.
Ok so lets look at these two ayats together,
9:113 Prophet had to be told by god to stop seeking forgiveness for his kafir uncle (as stated in the hadith) .
9:114 Ibrahim declared himself clear of his father when it became clear to him that his father was an enemy of Allah.
(One prophet had to be told, as apparently his love for his uncle was far greater than his love for God and his religion while with Ibrahim its the other way round)
**Do you guys still want to insist that the above ayat 9:113 was revealed about Rasool Allah seeking forgiveness for Hz Abu Talib?? **
If so then for you Ibrahim should be of better character then Rasool Allah, but for me Rasool Allah would never do something that even Hz Ibrahim finds not suitable for himself.
The father of Ibrahim :as: was an enemy of Allah :swt: because he wanted to extinguish the life of a Prophet…Trying to extinguish the Message = Enemy of Allah :swt:…
The uncle of the Holy Prophet :saw: may have been a Kafir but he was supporting Islam by supporting the Holy Prophet :saw:…He was not an enemy of Allah…
