The Companion Sayyiduna Muʿāwiya رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ

This means we must not conceal the Prophet’s praises as mentioned in the Torah but proclaim and publicise them. When we discuss the praise of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the Torah, we say وَ مُلْکُہٗ بِالشَّام joyfully, but who is also being praised? Whose kingdom is also being described? This is none other than MuꜤāwiya رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ. سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه

The Companions are the standard of faith

The Companions are those whom Allah described as the standard of faith:

فَاِنْ اٰمَنُوْا بِمِثْلِ مَاۤ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِہٖ فَقَدِ اہْتَدَوْا ۚ

Then if they believe the way you have believed, they have attained guidance,^{^[1]}

Tafsīr NaꜤīmī explains this verse:

Those who accept Islam until the Day of Judgement, and believe in Allah, His messengers, and divine books in the way the Companions did; it is they are guided. If they believe in everything but not how the Companions did so, they are misguided. The Companions are the test of faith for all humans and jinn.^{^[2]}

اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَر The Companions رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُم are the standard of faith. By looking at them and learning about their lives, we strengthen our own belief. Bearing all this in mind, imagine the severity of speaking ill about them لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّۃَ اِلَّا بِاللہِ.

May Allah protect us from ignorance and stupidity. The Companions are the greatest creations after the prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام. We will speak
