On the 18th of Zul Hajja-tul-Haram, 35th year of the Hijrah,
the companion of our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad صلی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ والہ وسلم,
Sayyiduna Usman Al-Ghani رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ was ruthlessly murdered (martyred). He رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ
was the third Khalifah amongst those known as the Khulafah-ur-Rashidin. His
patronymic (Kunyat) is Abu Amr. He رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ is also known as Zun-Nurain; because
Allah’s Nur, the Embodiment of Nur, the Noble Prophet صلی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ والہ وسلم
gave two of his daughters’ hands in marriage one after the other (after the
former’s demise), to the Honorable Usman Al-Ghani رضی
اللہ تعالٰی عنہ.

He رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہ embraced Islam at
the advent [of Islam]. He رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہ is also known as
‘Sahib-ul-Hijratain’ (the one who migrated twice) because he immigrated first
to Habshah (Ethiopia) and then to Madina-tul-Munawwarah.
