Sahabi (R.A)
The companions of the Prophet (S.A.W) are known as Sahabah Ikraam.
A Sahabi is a person who saw the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) in the state of Imaan and died in the state of Imaan.
The Ummah of the Prophet (S.A.W) is ranked the highest, in comparison to all other Prophets Ummah. A Sahabi has the highest status in Prophet (S.A.W)’s Ummah.
There are Ten Sahabah Ikraam who were rewarded with Paradise during their lifetime.
These are blessed with the title of “Ashrah Mubashrah”.
The Sahabah sacrificed everything for the cause of Islam. They suffered extreme unimaginable torture at the hands of the non muslims. Many loosing their homes, wealth, livelihood, families and in majority of cases their lives in order to uphold the truth (Islam).
Although the Sahabah were few in number, facing a lot of struggle and hardship they stood tall, strong and united alongside the Prophet (S.A.W) and never tolerated any type of disrespect towards Islam or the Prophet (S.A.W).
May Allah (S.W.T) give us the ability to follow in the footsteps of the Sahabah Ikraam (R.A).
Prophet Muhammed Mustafa (S.A.W) has said “My Sahabah are like the stars, whichever one you follow, you’ll find guidance.”
