The building of the Sahaba
Serialisation of book : From darkness to light Chapter 3 (part i)
Rasool-Allah (Sallalahu alaihi wa Sallam) was calling to a deen of truth. It was a call to Tawheed (oneness) and a call to do good deeds. This call was to be delivered to a people whom had long rejected the idea of worshipping Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) and whose foundation for life was based on all that was evil of tribalism, feudalism, maldistribution of wealth, the oppression of the weak and the abusing of the wayfarer. They blindly followed what they found their forefathers doing and willingly wallowed in their stubbornness and ignorance. How was Rasool-Allah (sallallahu alaihi wassallam) to find warmth from a community whose hearts were as cold as the stones that they worshipped? Warakah had warned Rasool-Allah (Sallalahu alaihi wa Sallam), and the reality of the matter soon became clear. However within this pit of darkness, there were a few sparks of light to be found in the sacred valley. It is these sparks of light in the guise of the Sahaba (ajma’in)
