Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib: The Lion of Allah and the Lion of His Messenger
Contents
The 15th of Shawal marks the martyrdom of Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib
Men who were graced with the light of existence, beyond count, since Allah the Almighty created Adam until the Day of Resurrection. Their transition from the first existence to the afterlife was like their transition from the world of wombs to the world of the living. No one ever mentioned them. They were like raw materials upon which the millstone of time ground them because they saw nothing but themselves and never went beyond the limits of their selfishness, thus becoming targets of time and victims of misfortune.
However, those who stepped forward into the battlefield to uphold the truth and confront falsehood, some of them had their names, struggles, and sacrifices etched onto the tablet of time and history. How much more so if their blood became the ink to write their own history?! Among those men was Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib, the uncle of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family.

Al Islam
(Friday Sermon - May 4, )
For some time, in my sermons, I have been narrating the incidents from the lives of the Companions that included the Badri Companions [those who participated in the Battle of Badr] and some others as well. However, at first, I thought that I should only speak on those Companions, who participated in the Battle of Badr for they had a special rank. These were the people, with whom Allah the Exalted was pleased, and they attained His pleasure.
Background
Today, I will speak about Hazrat Hamza(ra) bin Abdul Muttalib. A detailed account of him, in particular the way he converted to Islam, has been given in history and in the Ahadith. The same is true for the incident of his martyrdom.
