Book Name:Shan-e-Sahaba
Dear Islamic sisters! Remain associated with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami, a Madani movement of devotees of Rasool, in order to develop the love and affection for the Sahabah Kiraam and support Dawat-e-Islami for serving religion. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Dawat-e-Islami is busy propagating call towards righteousness all over the world in approximately 104 departments. One of them is Maktaba-tul-Madinah. Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami, was set up in 1986. In the beginning, only audio cassettes of speeches were released and then by the grace of Allah Almighty and mercy of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, it made a great progress. Now not only is Maktaba-tul-Madinah publishing hundreds of thousands of VCDs of Sunnah-inspiring speeches and Madani Muzakarahs and sending them all over the world, but it is also publishing the Urdu translation of the books written by Imam Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, furthermore, books written by A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, Ameer Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه and the books of Al-Madina-tul-‘Ilmiyyah are also being published in a large number and made available for the public.
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic sisters! The way a major act of righteousness of any [ordinary] Muslim cannot equate to the smallest act of righteousness of a Sahabi رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, similarly, no matter how big Wali, Ghaus or Qutb one becomes and numerous saintly-miracles are manifested through him, still he cannot reach to the level of any Sahabi.
Shaykh-ul-Hadees, ‘Allamah Mufti ‘Abdul Mustafa A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: All the [Islamic] scholars and great thinkers of Ummah have consensus upon the fact that the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم are “the highest ranked Awliya”; i.e. even if all the Awliya until the Day of Judgement attain the highest ranks in Wilayah [sainthood], still they cannot reach the excellences of Wilayah [sainthood] of any Sahabi at all. Allah Almighty blessed the ardent devotees of His Beloved Habib صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with such exalted rank of Wilayah and such great saintly miracles that are not even possible to think for any other Wali. There is no doubt in the fact that the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم did not manifest as many saintly miracles as have been narrated for other blessed Awliya رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی. However, it shall be clear that the abundance of saintly miracles is not a proof to be superior in Wilayah [sainthood]; because Wilayah actually means to have closeness to Allah
