Sahaba are criteria and best standard to understand Quran and Hadith islam Aqeedah everything
WHY????????????
1. They were the blessed group whom Allaah had chosen to be the
companions of His beloved Rasulullaah. The Sahabah Karam
Raziallahu Anhu 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 are therefore most worthy of , whose
example deserve emulation.
Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Mas'ood
Raziallahu Anhu 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.
2. Allaah Tabarak o Taala has 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."
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 is 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,any matter
on which they all agreed is regarded as an authoritative law in the Shari'ah.
Anyone who rejects their virtuousness is in danger of falling outside the fold
of Islaam.
The Sahabah were mirror images of Rasulullaah's 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.
