Nobility of Sayyiduna Abu Darda رضي الله عنه (English) – Description
Charismatic life of Sayyidunà Abu Darda رضي الله عنه
It relates to those times when the holy land of Madinah was being blessed with the fragrant presence of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ and the clarion call towards righteousness had become revolutionary. That call also inspired Sayyiduna ‘Abdulläh Bin Rawähah رضي الله عنه, eventually leading him to embrace Islam and submitting whole heartedly to the truth. After embracing Islam, Sayyidunä ‘Abdullah bin Rawähah رضي الله عنه learnt that Islam teaches its believers to benefit others and a true Muslim is one who wishes for his brother what he likes for himself. He became worried by the fact that he himself had been saved from the fire of Hell but his real brother Uwaimar was still sunk in the abyss of unbelief.
Hence, in order to bring his brother on the right path, he started consistent individual effort on his brother in a decent and intelligent manner. Eventually, by virtue of his untiring persuasion towards righteousness, wisdom and individual effort, his brother ‘Uwaimar entered the fold of Islam.
No god except Allah عز و جل
Despite the fact that Sayyidunä ‘Uwaimar رضي الله عنه was much impressed by the consistent effort of his brother and the message of Islam, he was reluctant to abandon his traditional beliefs. He had an idol at home which he would keep covered with a piece of cloth. Sayyiduna ‘Abdulläh Bin Rawähah رضي الله عنه was also aware of that. So, one day he came to the house of Sayyiduna ‘Uwaimar رضي الله عنه at such a time when he was not at home. Learning about his absence from his wife he headed straight towards the room where that idol was positioned. Within no time he began to strike and break the idol with his hatchet. He was so spirited that he had been reciting couplets expressing condemnation of Satan declaring that there is none worthy of worship except Allah عز و جل, When the wife of Sayyidunä Uwaimar رضي الله عنه heard the noise, she came running and upon seeing Sayyiduna ‘Abdulläh Bin Rawähah رضي الله عنه breaking the idol, she exclaimed, ‘O In Rawähah, how catastrophic it would be! You have ruined me. However, those words could not affect Sayyiduna ‘Abdulläh Bin Rawähah رضي الله عنه and he left her shedding tears.
