One of the most beautiful gifts of Islam is the legacy left behind by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the noble companions who walked with him — those whose hearts were purified, whose faith was unwavering, and whose sacrifices are the very reason Islam reached us today.

Yet, how many people today have forgotten their status?

The companions of the Prophet ﷺ are not just historical figures. They are the pillars of this Ummah, handpicked by Allah to support His final Messenger. They carried the message of Islam with sincerity, wisdom, and courage.

“And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhājirīn and the Anṣār, and those who followed them with good conduct, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him…”
(Surah At-Tawbah 9:100)

The Prophet ﷺ himself warned us:

"Do not revile my companions. By the One in whose hand is my soul, if any one of you were to spend the equivalent of Mount Uhud in gold, it would not equal a handful—or even half a handful—of what they gave.”
(Bukhari & Muslim)

Dear brothers and sisters, we must understand:
🛑 It is not befitting of a believer to speak ill of those whom Allah has praised and whom the Prophet ﷺ dearly loved.

To do so is a sign of deviancy and disrespect one that may lead a person far away from the straight path.

Sadly, some today utter painful and baseless claims, such as suggesting that Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) were not saddened by the death of the Prophet ﷺ, and that they were focused on leadership before even burying him.

Such statements are not just historically false they dishonor the best generation of this Ummah.

It was Abu Bakr (RA) who comforted the shocked companions with words of unshakable faith, saying:

"Whoever used to worship Muhammad, then Muhammad has died. But whoever used to worship Allah, then Allah is Ever-Living and never dies."
(Narrated in Bukhari)


And it was Umar (RA) who was so overcome by grief, he initially refused to believe the Prophet ﷺ had passed — until Abu Bakr reminded him of the verse:

"Indeed, you (O Muhammad) will die, and indeed they will die."
(Surah Az-Zumar 39:30)

These are not men who lacked emotion or loyalty they were mountains of strength, preserving the unity of the Ummah in the Prophet’s absence, despite their hearts being broken.

Their love for the Prophet ﷺ was unmatched. But they also understood that leadership of the Ummah could not be left in a vacuum. The Prophet ﷺ had just returned to his Lord, and the fate of Islam—his mission—depended on stability. So they immediately moved to secure leadership, not out of selfishness or coldness, but out of a deep sense of responsibility.

Leaving a community without leadership, especially after the passing of a central figure like the Prophet ﷺ, could lead to division, chaos, or even apostasy. Their actions were noble, wise, and deeply rooted in foresight and love for the Deen.

As believers, we must be cautious not to let sectarian ideologies or distorted historical claims turn our hearts against those whom Allah has honored. This can lead to misguidance, and perhaps even destruction — for questioning those who transmitted the deen is a threat to the deen itself.

Instead, we must:

✅ Refrain from speaking ill of any companion
✅ Love and honor the companions and their legacy
✅ Follow their example in faith, character, and leadership
✅ Hold firmly to the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

Let us not waste time in division or suspicion. Instead, let us preserve our hearts, strengthen our faith, and walk in the footsteps of those who gave everything for Islam.

May Allah protect our hearts from misguidance, increase us in love for the Prophet ﷺ and his companions, and make us firm upon the Sunnah. Āmīn.

Ma sha Allah 🙏

May Allah be pleased with them all. These are people that should be our Heroes and Role Models. I particularly love Abu Bakr but the Personality of Umar Ibn Khattab awed me always.

Sheik, is it Permissible to have a favourite amongst these Noble Companions?

If you are, you will have no issues with Sheikh Muhammad Ali Jabata. He's the only one hammering on bidiah and calling to follow the Sahabahs NOT the scholars unlike others

how come people are afraid to comment in the section

how come people are afraid to comment in the section

It's for intellectual and probably because of the long episode.
May Almighty Allah bless the writer and everyone. Amin

I commend seun for removing that question are u a Muslim...is a sign of justice to both religion....Muslims comment on Christian topic without restriction.....but to the matter here human beings have a healthy consciousness to good and evil, people know when they're doing good or wrong....doing good carry that lovely feeling of peace and joy but evil carry guilt eventhough evil people somehow feels indifference in doing evil....so choose good over evil and God will bless you

Islam is a false religion that has experienced stages of adjustments over the centuries.

For example, Mecca didn't exist whenihamme was purpoed to be alive. The uestion now is:

In which Mecca did Muhammed live?

Nigerians are waiting to see if KWAM1 will have his day in court. The law is clear.

Applying the law in a selective manner is the height of injustice and lawlessness

A beautiful sermon from the writer.
May Allah reward you with jannah and guide you and us to the right path.
Increase our love for the companion of Rasullilah

I have an observation. One of the interesting doctrines of Islam is that Islam, from the words of Muhammad is a religion with diminishing purity as the years roll by.
Muhammad said his generation is the best Muslims and those who come after him are better than those who come after them and so on. What this tells us is that Muslims nowadays are very far from the pure Islam that was practiced by Muhammad. In other words, the best Muslim nowadays is fake when compared to the worst Muslim in the era before them.
The big issue is that the early era of Islam was characterized by acts such as murder, rape, robbery and slavery. If these are the best of Muslims then it means Muslims today have to endeavor to be like those times.
Lastly, this doctrine introduces a contradiction to the notion that there are multiple prophets of Islam all equal in importance for their periods. This is because since the graph of Islamic purity trends negatively downwards, then the best Muslim ever should be Prophet Adam and not Muhammad

Jummah Mubarak. Looking forward to make genuine muslim friends here.

This makes sense. Mind you, Islam is full of contradictions.
