ISLAMIC BELEIFS
The Companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم
A Sahabi (Companion) is that Muslim who has assisted in the holy court of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم - in the Holy Prophet's presence - and has
passed away from this world with faith.
All sahabis are of praise and are pious.
They are also sincere in their Islamic judgement and in their Islamic actions. When there is talk of a
Sahabi, it is compulsory that it be with praise.
To have bad beliefs for any of the Sahabis is mis-guidance and belonging to the wrong sect.
To speak ill of the dignity of Sayyiduna Amir
Mua'awiya, Sayyiduna Amr Bin Aas, Sayyiduna Wahshi رضي الله عنهم , etc. is to curse them and this is a Shi'ite belief.
According to islamic Jurists, to insult the Shaikhain Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar رضي الله عنهماor to reject their position as caliphs is infidelity.
Regardless of how high a rank a Wali is, they would never reach the grade of a Sahabi.
to call Sayyiduna Amir Mua'awiya Cruel, treacherous, etc., is all strictly forbidden and not allowed.this is in fact a curse and the person is a Shi'ite.
Even among the Sahaba, some of them are more excellent in status than others. After the Ambiya,
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique
holds the greatest status, then Sayyiduna Umar,Sayyiduna Usman and Sayyiduna Ali رضي الله عنهم . After these Khulafa-e-Raashideen come
the rest of the Ash-harah Mubasharah (those who were given glad tidings of Jannah by the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم then Sayyiduna imam Hassan and imam Husain, sahabis of Badr and
Sahabis of Baitur Ridwaan. All of them will go to Jannah.
