After listening to so many biographies of the Sahaba RA (guiding stars), we should pose a question to ourselves … What is our condition? What lessons have we learnt from their lives? What positive changes have we made in our lives?
‘”There is no doubt that after Ambiya AS, this world has never seen, nor would ever see a group like the Sahaba RA’ … Before accepting Islam the Sahaba RA were non-entities, but after accepting Islam they became prominent personalities. Allah gave them such honour, dignity and respect!” …(Moulana Naeem Motala Saheb DB)
We should make a firm intention and some effort, to imitate and ingrain the teachings, advices, Akhlaaq and character of Sahaba RA (guiding stars) in our life. Then Allah rewards us, opens the way, protects us from evil, saves us from sin and lights up our heart!
Moulana, discusses an incident in the life of Hazrat Abdullah RA (‘Zulbijaadain’ – possessor of two sheets), which inspires and makes us desirous to have the fate of this poverty-stricken Sahabi. After accepting Islam and being disowned by his disbelieving uncle, he was discovered by Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam at His doorstep wrapped in two sheets. Yearning for death as a Shaheed (Martyr), this close companion was struck with severe fever and was blessed to be buried at the ‘Hands of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam’
