Learn the Sahaabah Series

The Sahaabah Radhiyallahu Anhum form part of the very foundation upon which our Deen is built. It is through their diligence in imbibing, preserving and propagating the teachings of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam that we have Imaan today. Minus the Sahaabah and we would never have heard the Quran nor known the Sunnah of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam.

Abdullah bin Masood Radhiyallahu Anhu has stated: “Verily Allah looked into the hearts of his servants. Thus He selected Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam). He sent him with his message and He chose him out of his perfect knowledge. Then Allah again looked into the hearts of His servants and He chose the companions of His Nabi . He made them the helpers of His Deen and the ministers of His Nabi.”‘Musnad Abi Dawud’

This series will Insha’Allah focus on some of the most eminent Sahaabah and give us a glimpse of their many virtues.
