Hayat us Sahabah – (Urdu) – 3 Volumes – By Shaykh Muhammad Yusuf Kandhelvi
Hadhrat Moulana Muhammad Ihsaanul Haqq q, The Sahabah are the foundation of this Deen and were the first to propagate it. They acquired the Deen from Rasulullaah and conveyed it to us. They were the blessed group whom Allaah had chosen to be the companions of His beloved Rasulullaah . They are therefore most worthy of being role models, whose example deserve emulation. Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Mas’ood used to say, “Anyone wishing to follow the (religious) ways of another should follow the ways of those who had already left the world, namely the companions of Rasulullaah @@, who were the best people of this Ummah. Their hearts were pure, their knowledge deep and pretentiousness (showing-off) was non-existent in their lives. Allaah selected them to be the companions of Rasulullaah and to propagate His
Deen. You should therefore acknowledge their virtue and distinction. Follow in their footsteps and adopt their character and lifestyles with all your strength because they were the ones on the path of guidance.” (‘1
To understand the life of Rasulullaah w,it is only the lives of the Sahabah that can be used as a criterion because they were the fortunate group who benefited most from the lamp of Nabuwaat. The inspiring rays from the sun of Nabuwaat shone directly on them without any screen. It is impossible for anyone after them to acquire the warmth of lmaan and the spiritual illumination that they received. It was only the assembly of the Sahabah , that the Qur’aan pays tribute to by declaring that Allaah pleased with them, they are pleased with Him, and that they were rightly guided people as well as guides for others. It is because of this that the Ummah has always been unanimous about the fact that all the Sahabah without exception were reliable and trustworthy. Any matter on which they all agreed is regarded as an authoritative law in the Shari’ah. Anyone who rejects their virtuousness falls outside the fold of Islaam. The Sahabah were mirror images of Rasulullaah perfect character and the most comprehensive Icons of his attributes. They were the truest
interpreters of his praiseworthy attributes, his excellent character as well as all the rulings and proofs of the Shari’ah. It is therefore necessary to follow them so that the Muslim Ummah may save themselves from all deviated manners
