After the era of the Companions, such Islamic scholars and pious predecessors continued to arrive who advanced the great work of calling to righteousness though their character. Kingdoms continued to be formed and they perished as well, governments came into existence and perished as well, cities were constantly built and deserted as well, however those pious people of Allah Almighty never abandoned the important task of calling to righteousness. When these people implemented the laws of Allah Almighty on themselves, He Almighty established their rule and governance over the hearts of people and He placed the crown of His sainthood on their head.
