Hazrat Usman Shaheed By Muhammad Bin Yahya Bin Abi Bakar Maliki Tahqeeq Dr Mahmood Yousuf Trans By Kokab Shadani.
Hazrat Usman (R.A) faced the resistance from so-called Muslims who had declared him as the third caliphate of Islam and Muslims. One day when He (R.A) was reciting the Sacred Book of the Almighty Lord in his home, he (R.A) was brutally martyred by heretics. Thus, He (R.A) attained the great status of being called a Martyr and as He (R.A) was assassinated on Friday, 17th of Dhul Hijjah, 35 A.H, at the age of 84. Ibn Umar (R.A) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) mentioned a fitnah (trial) by saying:
“This innocent one will be killed in that, referring to Usman bin Affan.” (Tirmidhi)
The contributions of the third Caliph of Islam, Hazrat Usman (R.A) are wide range from acceptance of Islam to helping the poor Muslims with his wealth, working for the peace as a caliphate and expanding the outreach of Islam to distant regions, assisting others in religious matters to compiling the entire Holy Quran on one recitation. Hence, he (R.A) truly served the Religion of Islam unselfishly and got the greatest of the possible reward from Allah SWT by naming him among the most righteous companions of the Holy Prophet (SAW) in Paradise. Hazrat Usman (R.A) was a great person and leader. We should follow his lifestyle and teachings in our life.
