All the praises and thanks be to Allaah, Sustainer of the
Universe, and blessing and salutation to be the most distinguish of
the Messengers and foremost among the Prophets, our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allaah be on him and on his wives,
children and Companions.
Facts according to Aqaaidul-Islaam!
All the Sahabah-e-Karaam (Radhiallaahu anhum) were fair, just and pious people, especially the Khulfaa-I-Rashideen. They were forgiven for any sin that they might have committed. They were most loving and merciful to one another, strong, powerful and severe against the Disbelievers.
Glorious
Qur’aan and the Ahadeeth of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) are replete in bearing testimony
that the Sahabah (RA) are virtuous people and are a criterion of truth.
The lowest ranking Sahabi (RA) is far greater in rank than most pious follower
of Rasulullaah Sallallahu alaihi Wa-sallam. They are most high in rank
after the Ambiyaa Alaihi-mussalaam. Love and reverence for
all the Sahabah (RA) is an important constituent of Imaan. To follow them is to follow Muhammad (SAW).

Allah
has forgiven the Prophet (SAW), the Muhajirun (Muslim emigrants who left their
homes and came to Al-Madinah) and the Ansar (Muslims of Al-Madinah) who
followed him (Muhammad SAW) in the time of distress (Tabuk expedition, etc.),
after the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated (from the Right Path),
but He accepted their repentance. Certainly, He is unto them full of Kindness,
Most Merciful.

2nd PROOF from Glorious
Qur’aan!
Surah:
48. Fat-h Verse: 29 Juz: 26 Revealed: Madinah
Muhsin
Khan
Muhammad
(SAW) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against
disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling
down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure.
The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the
traces of (their) prostration (during prayers). This is their description in
the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a
(sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes
thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may
enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who
believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet
Muhammad SAW till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds,
forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. Paradise).

These
glad tidings are most certainly for the Muhajireen and Ansaar Companions (RA)
of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for they were the first to accept Islaam
and have PERFECT Imaan. They (RA) had sacrificed their wealth and their lives
for the cause of Islaam and/or Allaah. They (RA) stood with Rasulullaah (SAW)
and his cause in the battles of Badr, Uhud, Hudaibiah, conquest of Makkah, and
after the demise of Muhammad (SAW) they has upheld the spirit of Jihaad and
Islaam, leading to conquests of Rome, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and more, thus,
spreading Islaam to the four corners of the world.

will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as
He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority
to practice their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And
He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear
(provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in
worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fasiqun
(rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

When

made them stick to the word of piety (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah), and they were well entitled to it and worthy of it. And Allah
is the All-Knower of everything.

MERITS & VIRTUES OF THE SAHABAH (RADHIALLAAHU ANHUM رضى الله عنهم) IN THE AHADEETH OF RASULULLAAH SALLALLAHU
ALAIHI WA SALLAAM!
1st Hadeeth!
“With
regard to my Companions, do not make them target after me for your abuse and
slander. He who loves them does so due to his love for me, and he who hates
them does so because of his hatred for me. He who harms them has harmed me and
whosoever causes harm to me has indeed displeased Allaah.”
2nd Hadeeth!
“The
like of my Sahabah (RA) in my Ummah/Ummah is like that of salt in food- the
food cannot be perfect without salt.”
3rd Hadeeth!
“The
Best of the people are those of my time, then those who follow after them,
thereafter those who follow after them.”
4th Hadeeth!
“None
of you should speak ill of my Sahabah (Companions), for if one amongst you were
to spend in charity as much gold as Mount Uhud, it would not amount to as much
as one mud (bushel) or even half a mud given by a Sahabi (RA).
5th Hadeeth!
“The fire of Johanna will not touch those, who have seen me, nor those, who have seen those, who had seen me.”
The TEN
Companions of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) who were promised PAPADISE in their
lifetime!
The TEN most blessed Companions
(Ashram Mubasharah) who were given the glad tiding of Paradise in their
lifetime, by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that they would dwell in Paradise
forever after their death were/are:
1.
Abu Bakr
As-Siddiq
2.
Umar bin Al-Khattab
3.
Uthman bin Affan
4.
Ali Ibn Abi Talib
5.
Talha bin Ubaidullah
6.
Zubair bin Al-Awwam
7.
Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf
8.
Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas
9.
Sa’id bin Zaid
10. Abu Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah
The above TEN are the best and most noble among Sahabah
(Radhiallaahu Anhum رضى الله
عنهم)
of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). They had sacrificed their wealth and
lives for the cause of Islaam and learned EVERYTHING from the BEST OF THE
CREATIONS, MUHAMMAD (SAW).
The above facts are not even a drop in
the ocean, since there is a plethora of facts available. What astonishes that
Murtad Osama Abdallah has the nerve to LIE through his teeth about the rightly
guided Caliphs, other Companions and wives of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
contrary to Aqaaidul Islaam.
One example of the perfection of
Hadhrat Umar bin Al-Khattab is that ELEVEN Ayaat were revealed for what Umar
(RA) suggested to Prophet Muhammad (SAW). That Allaah (SWT) DECREED in His
revelation confirming and/or supporting his (Umar {RA}) words, advice and/or
heartfelt feelings. The Adhaan (Prayer call) was also the suggestion of Umar
(RA). The verses that supported and/or confirmed the words of Umar (RA) are as
follows:
All the Sahabah صحابه
رضى الله عنهم
و رضواعنه (Companions) are the people of Paradise!
In support of above fact, I would like to present the evidence from Glorious Qur’aan and Ahadeeth that is as follows:
Surah At-Tauba 100
وَالسَّابِقُونَ
الْأَوَّلُونَ
مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ
وَالْأَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِينَ
اتَّبَعُوهُمْ
بِإِحْسَانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ
عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا
عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ
لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ
تَجْرِي تَحْتَهَا
الْأَنْهَارُ
خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا
أَبَدًا ذَلِكَ
الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
And the foremost to embrace Islâm of the Muhâjirűn (those who migrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah) and the Ansâr (the citizens of Al-Madinah who helped and gave aid to the Muhâjirűn) and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allâh is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.
Surah Al-Hadid 10
وَمَا
لَكُمْ أَلَّا
تُنْفِقُوا فِي
سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَاثُ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
وَالْأَرْضِ لَا يَسْتَوِي
مِنْكُمْ مَنْ
أَنْفَقَ مِنْ
قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ
وَقَاتَلَ أُولَئِكَ
أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً
مِنَ الَّذِينَ
أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ
بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا
وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ
اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَى وَاللَّهُ
بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
خَبِيرٌ
And what is the matter with you that you spend not in the Cause of Allâh? And to Allâh belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. Not equal among you are those who spent and fought before the conquering (of Makkah, with those among you who did so later). Such are higher in degree than those who spent and fought afterwards. But to all Allâh has promised the best (reward). And Allâh is All-Aware of what you do.
Someone asked Muhammad ibn Ka’b al-Qurazi, ‘what do you say about the
noble Companions of the Prophet Muhammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم?’ He said, ‘Sahabah صحابه
رضى الله عنهم
و رضواعنه, all of
them, are in Jannah- irrespective of whether mistakes and sins may have been
committed by some of them.’ The man again asked him, ‘on what basis did you say
that”’ He (Qurazi) said, ‘Read the Ayaah 9:100 of the Glorious Qur’aan.’
I found the 2nd Ayaah i.e. 57:10 to be more
solid proof. Beside that in Hadeeth, the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه
وسلم has been reported to have said, ‘the
fire of Jahannam (Hell) جهنم cannot touch the Muslim who has seen me or has seen those who
have seen me.’ [Tirmidhi from Jabir رضى
الله عنه]
