The reason for Abu Lahab doing this was to cause pain to the blessed heart of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam). However, in reality, this divorce was a source of Allah Ta\u2018ala\u2019s mercy. One after the other, both these daughters were eventually married to Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), due to which he was honored with the title \u2018Zun-Noorain\u2019 (the possessor of the two lights). From all the companions of the one hundred and twenty four thousand Ambiyaa (\u2018alaihimus salaam), only Hazrat \u2018Uthmaan (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) had the honor of getting married to two daughters of a Nabi, thereby earning the title Zun-Noorain.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Extracted from Seeratul Musatafa 1\/174)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Abu Lahab was the uncle of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), he always remained in the forefront of causing harm to Islam, just as Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) always remained in the forefront of supporting Islam.
