Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard that how greatly Allah Almighty blessed Sayyiduna Bishr Haafi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه due to his love and following of Ahl-e-Bayt-e-Athaar and the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم that he was blessed with beholding the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم as well as attained the highest rank among his contemporary Awliya رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی. We should also live our life while having their love in our hearts and following their footsteps. Moreover, avoid the company of those who disrespect them and adopt the company of those devotees of Rasool who mention the eminence and dignity of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم profusely. Adopt the company of those who recite out of respect upon taking their names.

Remember! Respect for the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم is mandatory for every Muslim. After the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام, the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم are the most deserving of reverence and dignity among all the people. They are those sacred personalities who showed submissiveness to the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم when he invited them to Islam. When they embraced Islam they became determined to spread the universal and eternal message of Islam in every corner of the world sacrificing their wealth, life and soul. History is evident that these sacred personalities gave such incomparable sacrifices in order to spread the teachings of Quran and Hadees and hoisting the flag of Islam high that today one cannot even think about it. Beholding the beautiful face of the Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is such a great privilege that no other blessing of this entire world can equate to it; and the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم are those who beheld the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and attained blessings from his blessed company day and night. They heard the Holy Quran and Deen from the blessed tongue of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and were the addressees of the commands of Allah Almighty directly without any chain in between. Allah Almighty showers limitless blessings and grace upon these sacred personalities. Therefore, in order to succeed in both worlds, we should develop the love for these sacred personalities in our hearts and try to spend our lives following their footsteps.
