Category: SAHABAH RA

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’

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala had selected the Sahaba RA to be in the Suhbat (company) of Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam. By being in the company of Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam, they became close to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. Their Imaan was strong and they followed and emulated the practices and teachings of Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam to such an extent that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala was pleased with them …

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala had given them glad tidings in this world …

What is fascinating about these Sahaba R.A, is that besides the common noble qualities that all of them had, if you look into each ones life, there is something outstanding about each Sahabi. They had beautiful and good character in them and it was because of the distinctive quality of ‘Ahklaaq’ that Hazrat Hakeem bin Hizaam (R.A) had displayed, that Allah blessed him with Imaan …

“Each one is a shining brilliant star from the vast ‘Galaxy of Sahaba R.A’ and a great source of inspiration to us all!” (Moulana Naeem Motala Saheb DB)

An excellent continuation of discussions on the ‘Shining Stars’ …

A Sahabi, famous even amongst the young of the Ummat of Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam … A Sahabi that we are all reminded of every single day of our lives … Whenever the call of Adhaan is given, 5 times a day, then a person is automatically taken back to none other than Bilal R.A and the Musjid of Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam …

When we hear the Adhaan, what respect do we have for it? We overlook the Muadhin and ignore them … It is mentioned that on the day of Qiyamah, the Muadhin’s will have the longest necks (meaning they would be outstanding) … They will be honored in the sight of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala … They will be shown special respect on the day of Qiyamah … At any given time in any part of the world there is a Muadhin calling out Adhaan. This no low task but rather a privilege because a Muadhin is selected by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala …

In the discourses of the life of Bilal R.A, one is transported to the era of Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam and is reminded of the very origin of the Adhaan and the ‘Muadhin’ of Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam. Bilal R.A was extremely fortunate that he had been given specific glad tidings of Jannah … Under all afflictions, Bilal (RA) would exclaim:-

‘Ahad’ ~ The One (Allah) … ‘Ahad’ ~ The One (Allah)…

It is reported from Abu Hurairah : At the time of the Fajr prayer Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam asked Bilal RA, “Tell me of the best deed you did after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise.” Bilal RA replied, “I did not do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution during the day or night, I prayed after that ablution as much as was written for me.”

In another narration it is related that he said, “Whenever my whudhu is broken I make new whudhu and pray two raka’ats.”

(Bukhari, Muslim, Musnad Ahmad)
