Why not? What else?--Striver 16:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, im not that sure anymore... --Striver 16:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

No. she is not, for a sahaba is a person who both saw the Prophet Muhammad and believed in him. Amina saw him, but died long before he became a Prophet and began propogating his Message. —Preceding

Actually the definition of a Sahaba is someone who was seen by the Prophet Muhammad (as there were Sahabas who were blind) as was a Muslim. There is a difference of opinion whether the Prophet's parents were Hanif or not and also whether the Prophet was a prophet at birth or not (but started propagating Islam at the age of 40).

Westgate Mall Shooting

I don't think a current event ought to be placed as a entire section of a biography, especially as it is a footnote and not really relevant. There were other shibboleths asked of people this one was anecdotal. Its presence on this page feels at best misplaced, at worst, a means of adding negative content to link the person to unrelated events. 20:28, 23 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by CivEngAlyssa (talk • contribs)

Thanks to whoever cleared the section and made reasonable links. I think this brings the quality of the article up a few notches - great work. CivEngAlyssa (talk) 14:53, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Contradiction

Says on this page Muhammad's father died two months before his birth, but [Muhammad's page] specified it was six months. 108.19.84.216 (talk) 02:37, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Typo in calligraphy image.

The spelling in the calligraphy is wrong; the name does not contain a ي and is just آمِنَة. Munshii (talk) 20:12, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

"Fate in the afterlife"

I find the name of this section out of place in the article since it is part of a religious narrative and is preceded by two historical sections. Maybe something like "In Islamic tradition" would be a more appropriate section title with "Fate in the afterlife" as a sub-heading. Chronikhiles ^(talk) 10:03, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

• 'Amina → Amina bint Wahb
• Amina (given name) → Amina

– First off, we need a move because no initial hamza (the ' in 'Amina) should be written per WP:MOSAR.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that the prophet's mother is not the wp:primary topic for Amina, i.e., I believe that it is not more likely to be the topic sought after when typing "Amina" than all other possible topics combined, since there are a lot of notable Aminas listed at Amina (given name). This includes both people named Āmina (long a, short i; like the prophet's mother) and people named Amīna (short a, long i), which both need to be spelled "Amina" per WP:MOSAR's basic transcription rules.

If 'Amina is moved to Amina bint Wahb, Amina should be a disambiguation page with the content currently on Amina (given name).

If someone believes that the prophet's mother is the primary topic for Amina, I'm fine too with simply moving 'Amina to Amina. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 19:03, 27 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Seawolf35 ^T--C 10:27, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Removing pictures of Hazrat Amina and Halima Sadiya

These types of pictures hurts our religious beliefs, a picture depicting Halima Sadiya is breastfeeding to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ,and Amina giving birth to prophet ﷺ,it is very inappropiate, and we will not allow it be shown, I can give hundreds of proofs from Sahih al bukhari, muslim, nisai ,ibn maja. These images, on the basic level, is against the rule of Aniconism, but on the major level, these images hurts us. so, don't upload that types of images again in this page.

Amina and Abdullah being in Hell

According to the article, specifically citing "Misquoting Muhammad" I presume, where it dramatically states that the Sunni position is that theological beliefs regarding Ahl al-Fatrah mean that the belief of Sunni Muslims is claimed to be that they believe that the Hadith regarding Aminah and Abdullah being in Hell are unreliable. However, two main issues arise from this generalization: firstly, Sunni Islam is markedly diverse in how Hadith and Qur'an should be interpreted (as seen by Sunni maddhabs), and secondly, this is actually not always considered the dominant position from my understanding. The renowned Sunni scholar Al-Nawawi for example accepted that the Hadiths regarding them being in Hell were true, contradicting the article.

In essence, Amina and Abdullah being in Heaven or Hell seems to be a much more nuanced debate rather than simply "Sunni Muslims believe [X position regarding this]", so I don't know if the section needs to be expanded but I do think it is inaccurate to state that all Sunni Muslims hold this belief, as the Hadiths regarding this topic have been argued for and against by Sunni Muslims.
