Sahabah-e-Karaam (r.a) |
"I believe in ALLAH, in His Angels, His
Scriptures, His Prophets, the Day of Judgment, and in the fact that
every thing good or bad (in the world) is pre-destined by ALLAH the
Exalted, and in the resurrection after death."
"Muhammad is a Messenger of ALLAH, and those who are with him are hard
against the unbelievers and merciful among themselves, thou seest them
bowing, prostrating, seeking bounty and pleasure of ALLAH, their mark
is on their faces, being the trace of prostration. That is their
likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel, as a seed that
puts forth its shoot, then strengthens it, then it becomes stout, then
it rises straight on its stalk, pleasing the sowers that, through
them, He may enrage the unbelievers, ALLAH promises those, who believe
and who, out of them, do righteous deeds, forgiveness and a big wage".
( 29 : 48 ) Al-Quran.
Belief of a Muslim on the Companions (r.a) of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w)
is:
It is unanimously agreed that the noble Companions (r.a) deserve our
utmost respect, and are absolutely trustworthy. As for the discord
which occurred among them, it is to be considered as the consequence
of the sincere exercise of personal conviction and opinion. The
discord was resolved and is a thing of the past. It is not permissible
for us to hold, on the basis of past differences among the Companions
(r.a), grudges and ill will which continue for generations. The
Companions (r.a) are those whom ALLAH has described in the best of
terms. He has praised them upon many occasions. It is not lawful for
anyone to make any accusation against them or cast suspicion upon
them, and there is no benefit to be derived there from.
"And those who believed and emigrated and struggled in the way of
ALLAH, and those who gave shelter and helped, they are the Believers
in truth; for them shall be forgiveness and generous provision". ( 8 :
74 ) Al-Quran.
"And the Foremost, the First among the Emigrants and the Helpers, and
those who followed them in a good way, ALLAH is pleased with them and
they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens
underneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever and ever; that
is the mighty triumph". ( 9 : 100 ) Al-Quran.
"It is for the poor emigrants, who were expelled from their homes and
their possessions, seeking bounty and good pleasure from ALLAH, and
helping ALLAH and His Messenger; they are the truthful ones. And those
who were settled in the city and in Faith before them, love those who
emigrated towards them, and they do not find any need in their breasts
for what has been given to them, and prefer them above themselves,
though poverty be their lot; and whoso is saved from the greed of his
soul those are the ones who will prosper". ( 59 : 8-9 ) Al-Quran.
Muslims love them and recite them as "radhiALLAHu anhu / anha / anhum
(may ALLAH be pleased with them) after their names as appropriate. Out
of thousands of Companions (r.a), Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) proposed
10 Companions (r.a) for the promise of the Heaven in their lives.
Those are as follows:
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (r.a), Hazrat Umar Farooq (r.a), Hazrat Usman
Ghani (r.a), Hazrat Ali Murtaza (r.a), Hazrat Talha (r.a), Hazrat
Zubair (r.a), Hazrat Saad (r.a), Hazrat Saeed (r.a), Hazrat Abdul
Rehman (r.a) and Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (r.a).
Sayings of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) : My Companions are like the
stars, whom you may follow, will get the right path. (Mishkawt)
Note: Companions (r.a) popularly known as Sahabah-e-Karaam (r.a), are
the part of our faith of Islam. Minor to minor negligence or
misbehavior in their name and acts (Sunnah), may cause a Muslim to
suffer the word of Kafir. |
