\"\"<\/a>The Qur\u2019aan Majeed and Mubaarak Ahaadith are replete with the praises of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum). In the Qur\u2019aan Majeed, Allah Ta\u2019ala praised them to such an extent that Allah Ta\u2019ala made their Imaan the benchmark of success. Allah Ta\u2019ala says:<\/p>\n

\u0641\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0627\u0670\u0645\u064e\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0628\u0650\u0645\u0650\u062b\u0652\u0644\u0650 \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0670\u0645\u064e\u0646\u062a\u064f\u0645 \u0628\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0641\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0650 \u0627\u0647\u0652\u062a\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0648\u0627<\/p>\n

So if they (the people) believe as you (O Sahaabah) have believed, then indeed they are on the right path.<\/em><\/p>\n

In many places of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed, Allah Ta\u2018ala has declared His Divine pleasure and happiness with the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) by saying \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0645 \u0648\u0631\u0636\u0648\u0627 \u0639\u0646\u0647 (Allah Ta\u2018ala is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him). This honour of receiving the Divine pleasure of Allah Ta\u2018ala, which the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) had received in this very world, is the honour which the people of Jannah will receive after entering Jannah.<\/p>\n

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas\u2019ood (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) mentioned that Allah Ta\u2018ala looked at the hearts of all His servants and chose Muhammad (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) (on account of his heart being the best and purest of hearts). Allah Ta\u2018ala then sent him with His Divine message (to this ummah) and endowed him with His special knowledge. After choosing him, Allah Ta\u2018ala again looked at the hearts of his servants and selected companions for him. Allah Ta\u2018ala made them assistants in propagating His Deen and deputies of His Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam). Therefore, whatever the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) regard as good, is good in the sight of Allah Ta\u2018ala, and whatever they regard as unacceptable, is unacceptable in the sight of Allah Ta\u2018ala. (The Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) are the gauge and criteria for this ummah in determining good and evil). (Hilyatul Awliyaa 1\/375, Musnad Abu Dawood Tayaalisi # 243)<\/p>\n

Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) reports, \u201cWhoever wishes to follow a people, then he should follow those who have passed on. These were the companions of Muhammad (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), who were the best of this ummah. Their hearts were most pure, their knowledge was the deepest and they were most humble, without any formalities in them. They were people whom Allah Ta\u2018ala had chosen for the companionship of His Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and for the propagation of His Deen. You should emulate them in their character and ways. By the qasam of the Rabb of the Ka\u2019bah! The Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) were on the straight path.\u201d (Hilyatul Awliyaa 1\/305)<\/p>\n

From the abovementioned verse of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed and the Mubaarak Ahaadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), we understand that without this Ummah holding firmly to the ways of the Khulafaa-e-Raashideen and the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) and emulating them in all works of life, they\u00a0will never attain salvation and success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
