I want
to ask a question that some people cursing the Companion of Beloved Prophet
(SAW) ,these companion were awarded paradise in their live by Prophet Muhammad
(SAW) but their own Dai and Scholar says that do what we say and you will go to
heaven, mean they beleive their scholars more than Prophet

Answer:
Curse revile pm companions
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verse 100:
100 The vanguard (of Islam), the first of the
‘Muhajirs’ (those believers who forsook their homes and migrated
with the Prophet (saws) from
Makkah to Madinah) and of the ‘Ansaars’ (those
believers in Madinah who gave them aid) and (also) those who
follow them in (all) good deeds: well pleased is Allah with them as are
they with Him: for them hath He prepared Gardens under which rivers flow to
dwell therein for ever: that is the Supreme Felicity.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 59 Surah Hashr verse 8, in
appreciation of the early companions of the Holy Prophet (saws) who migrated from
Makkah to Madinah with him; and Allah is our witness brother,
Hadrat Abu Baqr, Hadrat Umar, Hadrat Uthman, Hadrat Ali, etc. were definitely
amongst them:
They (the companions
who migrated from Makkah to
Allah Subhanah Himself Declares in His Glorious Quran that
the first of those who believed, and the first of those who forsook their homes
and migrated with the Prophet (saws) from Makkah to Madinah, and the first of
those believers in Madinah who gave them help and welcomed them….well pleased
is Allah with them, and He has prepared Gardens for them under which rivers
flow to dwell therein for ever!
My dear and beloved brother in Islam, history has recorded
that companions of the Prophet (saws) like Hadrat Abu Baqr, Hadrat Umar, Hadrat
Uthmaan, Hadrat Ali, Hadrat Bilaal, Hadrat Ammar, etc. were amongst the
earliest reverts to Islam in Makkah and they forsook their homes and migrated
with the Prophet (saws) from Makkah to Madinah.
The curse of Allah is reserved for the disbelievers,
polytheists, and the hypocrites….how can one who sincerely believes in Allah
and the Last Day even think of reviling or pronouncing the curse of Allah
Subhanah on those whom Allah Subhanah Himself Declares in His Glorious Quran
that: ‘well pleased is Allah
with them as are they with Him: for them hath He prepared Gardens under which
rivers flow to dwell therein for ever: that is the Supreme Felicity.’
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4632 Narrated by Sa'id ibn Zayd
AbdurRahman ibn al-Akhnas said that when he
was in the mosque, a man mentioned Ali (r.a.). So Sa'id ibn Zayd got up and
said: ‘I bear witness to the Messenger of Allah (saws) that I heard him (saws)
say: ‘Ten persons will go to Paradise: The Prophet (saws) will go to
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.18 Narrated by Abu Huraira
I heard Allah's Messenger (saws) saying,
"Anybody who spends a pair of something in Allah's Cause will be called
from all the gates of
Sahih Muslim HadithH 6167 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘Do not
revile my Companions! Do not revile my Companions! By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if one
amongst you would have spent as much gold as Uhud it would not amount to as
much as one ‘mudd’ (a small measurement of food) on behalf of one of them, or
even half of it!’
Leave alone pronounce the curse or ‘laanah’ of Allah on
eminent and close companions of the Prophet (saws) like Hadrat Abu Bakr, Umar,
and Uthmaan….it is absolutely against the commands and guidance of the
Messenger of Allah (saws) to ever revile even the weakest of any of his noble
companions! Such is the rank and status
of the noble companions of the Prophet (saws) in the Sight of Allah, that even
if one were to spend as much gold as the mountain of Uhud in the Cause of
Allah, it would not equal in merit in the Supreme Scales of Allah to even a
small measurement of food which his noble companions spent for Islam!
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.2 Narrated by Imran bin Husain
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "The
best of my followers are those living in my generation (i.e. his companions),
and then (2nd best are) those who will follow them (the first
generation), then (the 3rd best are) those who follow them."
Allah is our witness it is nothing but ignorance and
absolute misguidance to revile, rebuke, or curse any believer who has professed
belief in Allah and His Messenger (saws); leave alone pronouncing the curse of
Allah on such eminent and close companions of the Prophet (saws) like Hadrat
Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, etc., especially when Allah Subhanah has Himself
Declared that He is well pleased with them and has prepared Gardens for them to
dwell therein for ever!
Your Question:
…..but their own Dai and Scholar says that do what we say and you will go to
heaven, mean they beleive their scholars more than Prophet
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 32 Surah
Sajdah verses 18-20:
18 Is then the man who believes no better than the man who is
rebellious and wicked? No equal are they!
19 For those who believe and do righteous deeds are Gardens
as hospitable homes for their (good) deeds.
20 As to those who are rebellious and wicked their abode will be the
Fire: every time they wish to get away therefrom they will be forced thereinto
and it will be said to them: "taste ye the Penalty of the Fire the which
ye were wont to reject as false.”
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 42 Surah
Ash-Shura verses 22-23:
22 Thou wilt see the wrongdoers in fear on account of what they have
earned and (the burden of) that must (necessarily) fall on them. But those who believe and work
righteous deeds will be in the luxuriant meads of the Gardens: they
shall have before their Lord all that they wish for: that will indeed be the Magnificent
Bounty (of Allah).
23 That is (the Bounty) whereof Allah gives Glad Tidings to His
Servants who believe and do righteous deeds.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verses 9-10:
9 To those who believe and do deeds of righteousness hath Allah
promised forgiveness and a Great Reward.
10 Those who reject faith and deny our signs
will be companions of the Hell-Fire.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verses 50-51:
50 Those who believe and work righteousness for them is
forgiveness and a sustenance most generous.
51 But those who strive against Our Signs to frustrate them, they will
be Companions of the Fire."
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verses 56-57::
56 On that Day (of Judgement) the Dominion will be that of Allah: He
will judge between them: so those who believe and work righteous deeds
will be in Gardens of Delight.
57 And for those who reject Faith and deny Our Signs there will be a
humiliating Punishment.
Dear and beloved brother in Islam, time and time again The
Lord Most High Declares in His Glorious Quran the two characteristics that will
entitle the people to enter the Eternal and
- Belief
- Good
righteous deeds
The choice or decision each individual has to make is extremely
simple: who has a bigger right to say the Truth: Allah Subhanah the Lord of the
Worlds and everything that exists, or their self-proclaimed and self-appoint
high-priests!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah
An-Nisa verse 122:
The promise of Allah is The Absolute Truth, and who
can be truer in his Word than Allah?
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 10 Surah
Yunus verses 35-36:
Ask them, “Is there any of the partners you have
set up with Allah, who guides to the Truth?”
Say, “It is Allah Alone Who guides to the Truth.” Very well, then tell, “Who is more worthy to
be followed: He Who guides to the Truth,
or the one who cannot guide unless he himself is guided? What has then gone wrong with you that you
make perverted judgements?” The fact is
that most of them are following mere conjecture, whereas conjecture cannot in any way fulfill
the requirements of the True Knowledge. Allah has full knowledge of what they are
doing.
Your Statement:
……mean they beleive their scholars more than Prophet
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verse 31:
They have made their scholars and their monks as
their ‘Rabbs’ besides Allah!
Only Allah and His Messenger (saws) have the Exclusive
Right that every Command of theirs is to be obeyed absolutely unconditionally
by the believers, if indeed they fear Allah and the Last Day.
Every other person, regardless of who or what they may claim
to be, will only be obeyed or followed upon the condition that their command is
in accordance and in alignment with the guidance of Allah and His Messenger
(saws).
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah Taubah
verses 34-35 :
O you who believe! There are indeed many among the priests
and the holy men who devour the wealth of others by evil means, and debar the
people from the Way of Allah.
Give them the good news of a painful torment, who hoard up gold and
silver and do not expend these in the Way of Allah. The Day shall surely come when the same gold
and silver shall be heated in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded
their foreheads, their bodies and their backs.
(And it will be said): “Here is that treasure you had hoarded up for
yourselves! Taste now the evil of your
hoarded treasure!”
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
