Hadhrat Ammaar (R) and his parents

Bushra Nasrin, D/o Maulana Arshad Kabir Khaquaan Diyaganj, Araria, Bihar

Hadhrat Ammaar (Radhiyallaho anho) was one of the Muhajirun in the history of Islam and, for his dedicated devotion to the cause, he is considered to be one of the most loyal and beloved companions of Muhammad Sallallahu alaihe wasallam and Hadhrat Ali Radhiyallaho anho and to Muslims.
Thus, he occupies a position of the highest prominence in Islam. Historically, Ammar ibn Yasir is the first Muslim to build a mosque.
The parents Hadhrat Ammaar (Radhiyallaho anho) along with him were subjected to the most difficult afflictions. They were mistreated on the scorching sands of Mecca.
The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) while passing by them would enjoin patience giving them glad tidings about paradise. Ammaar's father Yasir (Radhiyallaho anho) died after prolonged sufferings at the hands of persecutors, and his mother Sumayya (Radhiyallaho anha) was killed by Abu Jahl, who put his spear through the most private part of her body, causing her death. She had refused to renounce Islam in the face of terrifying torture in her old age. The blessed lady was the first to meet martyrdom in the cause of Islam.
He fought against the enemies of Islam with great determination and strength. Once he was fighting in a battle when he said rejoicingly:
"I am to meet my friends very soon, I am to meet Muhammad (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam] and his companions."
He then asked for water. He was offered some milk. He took it and said:
"I heard the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) saying to me, Milk shall be the last drink of your worldly life."
He then fought till he met his end. He was then aged about ninety-four.
