Day of Judgement.^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! معاذ اللہ! Speaking ill of the Companions رَضِیَ اللہُ عنہم is a such a grave sin that the one who commits it will face a severe punishment until the Day of Judgement. This is a sin that can turn one’s grave into a pit of Hell and lead to Hell itself. These are the blessed personalities regarding whom our Beloved Prophet رَضِیَ اللہُ عنہم  said, “My Companions are like stars; whichever one of them you follow, you will be guided.”^[2]

May Allah grant us the ability to honour the noble Companions رَضِیَ اللہُ عنہم.

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہِ وَ آلِہٖ وَ سَلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                          صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِیَ اللہُ عنہ is a Companion of the Prophet.

1. He is the grandson of the Prophet’s paternal aunt, Sayyidah Umm Ḥakīm رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْها. In this way, he is related, so to speak, as a nephew of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

2. He is among the earliest people to accept Islam. He was the fourth or fifth person to embrace Islam.

3. He is also among the (the ten Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم who were given glad tidings of Paradise by the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم).

4. The Prophet  صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  loved Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْها so much that he gave two of his daughters in marriage to him, one after the other. ^[3]

5. After the second caliph of Islam, Sayyidunā ꜤUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ  was martyred, Sayyidunā ꜤUthmān رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ was appointed as the caliph by the consensus of the Muslims. He remained caliph for 12 years. After enduring a major siege for 40 days, he was martyred on 18 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 35 AH.^[4]
