Editor’s Note: The topic of this Friday Sermon was about Family Relations. A must-watch for all of us!
Categories: The Muslim Times
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you….Matrimonial matters of young men and women, and latter family matters are such issues, which cause distress and unrest in homes from time to time…..
Post-marriage, family problems do not cause troubles only for husband and wife, but they cause anguish to parents of both sides. Not only this, if children are born, these problems make suffering for them too and sometimes they go astray in worldly life and religion-wise too. It causes series of troubles for parents and larger family.

Wisdom, Advice, Patience & Promised Reforms Destined to Win over Ignorance, Extremism & Terrorism
=============================================================
“….When you debate with someone, debate with wisdom and virtuous advices, which should be with softness and politeness. Yes, it is true that many ignorant and unwise clergy of this era, due to their foolishness, have very idea that to spread religion with Jihad and sword is thing of very much reward. And they live life behind cover and hypocrisy. But they are very wrong to have this thought. At their wrong understanding, blame cannot be at Divine Book. In fact, truths and realities are never dependent of any compulsion, rather compulsion proves that spiritual arguments are weak…..” MORE @

Translation: O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may become righteous. (Holy Quran ch2:v184)
Alhamdolillah we are being privileged to pass through another Ramadan.

At this, a person pleaded, O Prophet of Allah what are excellences of Ramadan. He (s.a.w.) said, surely Jannat is decorated from the beginning to end of year for Ramadan.

Most Islamic Clerics seperate between the worldly work and the work for the sake of God. Most Islamic clerics command Muslims to seek the work for the sake of Allah and forget the worldly work. The result of this thought is Poverty in almost Islamic countries. Most Islamic clerics include Ahmadiyyah mislead Muslims.
Whereas the worldly work is also for work the sake of Allah. There is no difference.
I urge Muslims Around the world and Ahmadiyyah Muslims : seek paradise hereafter, but do not forsake the worldly paradise. Muslims have to seek 2 paradise.
My dear Somi: Ahmadiyya Imams always teach to seek paradise in this world and the next. I do not know what Khutbas you listen to. Try to listen to the Khutbas of our beloved Khalifa at http://www.alislam.org and you will see for yourself.
Promised Restoration of Real Salaat (Prayer) === ” …Offer Salaat-s with proper regularity. Some people offer Salaat of only one time, they should remember Salaat-s are not exempt, even not exempted for messengers. It is in a Hadith that a new group visited Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and they sought exemption of Salaat. He (sa) said, the religion which does not have practice, that religion is nothing.”……… “The real Salaat is of what kind, and how it should be offered, Hazrat Promised Messiah (as) explains:
Remember, this Salaat is such a thing that, by it, worldly life becomes good and Deen (religion) too……..” ……..” Salaat is that thing, that by offering it, human is saved from every kind of bad-deeds and indecencies.”

Allah the Exalted pronounced that doers of virtuous deeds as best creature, as said, ‘innallazina aamanu wa amelussalehate olaeka humul khairul bariyya’ i.e, surely the people who believed and did virtuous deeds these are the best creature.
Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) explains about this verse that human should fulfill his obligation, and make progress in virtuous deeds.

In reality on the ground, most Muslims live in poverty, their life depand on others from melitary, economy, science peace etc. There is something wrong with Islamic teaching today. We have to investigate Islamic teaching before blame others.
Ahmadiyyah was born more 100 years ago. Millions Ahmadiyyah Muslim cannot produce one product that can use milion people around the world. If you have, show me !
Also we cannot see in Malls a product “MADE IN SAUDI ARABIA”
It means most Islamic teaching around the world teach people about HALAL ( lawful thing ) AND HARAM ( unlawful thing). — Very sad
My big hope to Ahmadiyyah is to urge Muslims to do enterprice as Prophet did instead of employee.
A Employer is much better than an employee. I want to see in my life, Ahmadiyyah Muslim can follow Job Steve who create million job from his invention ( iphone ).
@ Somi Tempo …Ahmadiyya-Muslims follow real Islam, taught by promised messiah mahdi and his khilfat…. first teaching of true religion is to bring human close to God and live peacefully with fellow human….then comes inventions and science etc…..perhaps u do not know first ever muslim scientist who was ahmadi-muslim @https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdus_Salam
— bring people closer to God is not by praying and zikir many times but by doing enterpricing as Prophet did.
Most Christian and others follow our prophet, in contrary,most Muslims do not. It seems to me thats wierd/ odd.
We claim that we a good follower of our prophet, but actualy NOT. It is a deception, right? How many percent of Ahmadiyyah Muslim follow prophet doing enterprice ?
correction= khilfat should be read as khilafat
@ Somi Tempo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdus_Salam
@ promoseoeace—…Ahmadiyya-Muslims follow real Islam, taught by promised messiah mahdi and his khilfat….
If ahmadiyyah is real Islam, do you mind if I criticize Ahmadiyyah faith here?
I found something wrong with Ahmadiyyah. Can I tell it here?
Whenever you ‘found something wrong’ I actually found that you are not understanding things properly. We explain again and again and you follow the same old path without, it seems, even trying to understand the explanations. You need to pray for open heart and guidance.

In this verse, Allah the Exalted has mentioned that subject, which is always understood well, only by those believers who offer sacrifices in the way of Allah the Exalted.

Whether he be rich or poor, Allah is more regardful of them both (than you are). Therefore follow not low desires so that you may (be able to) act equitably. And if you conceal (the truth) or evade (it), then (remember that) Allah is well aware of what you do.
(5:9) O ye who believe! be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be (always) just, that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah. Surely, Allah is aware of what you do.
(7:182) And of those We have created there are a people that guide (people) with truth and do justice therewith.

STRIVE ON SPIRITUALITY AND PROSPERITY.
I strongly believe that peace will not come if people live in poverty. People who hungry create violence and unjust.
I urge the young Ahmadiyyah to concentrate not only the spirituality but also concentrate in strengthening economy of Muslim.
How our prophet Muhammad pbuh EARNED money for living and became a the wealthy or richest namely by doing trade or enterprice like Mr Trump etc.
If Ahmadiyyah has 5 people like Mr Trump, woow, I cant imagine it, ahmadiyyah do not need to collect money from the member of Ahmadiyyah every years. The 5 the richest Ahmadiyyah will create millions jobs for poor Ahmadiyyah around the world.
I believe Ahmadiyyah will become a role model of Islam to the world. Woow. My dream?
May Allah will make it happen Amin

TRUTH AND METHOD TO KNOW TRUTH FROM GOD === Telling the method of knowing the truth, Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) says: “If truth is to be known then one will pray to God the Exalted in his salaats and I am sure if human, by being pure of prejudice and stubbornness, pay attention to God the Exalted for the manifestation of truth, then one chilla (40 days of prayers) will not pass, truth will open at him. https://vk.com/dawudtalut

” Hazrat Abu Bakr (r.a.) : Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) wrote: Once when commandment was given to offer wealth in the path of truth, Hazrat Siddiq e Akbar (Abu Bakr Siddiq) brought all things of house. When Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) asked what was left in house, he (r.a.) replied, he has left God and Messenger in house. He was rich of Makkah but he wore poor person’s dress after being Muslim.
About his humbleness: Once Hazrat Abu Bakr ra and Hazrat Umar ra had argued, voices rose. Later Hazrat Abu Bakr went to Hazrat Umar for regret but he did not accept. Hazrat Abu Bakr met Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) and mentioned the incidence, and requested for pardon. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said, may Allah the Exalted forgive…After sometime, Hazrat Umar too felt remorse for mistake and went to house of Hazrat Abu Bakr to say sorry but he was not at home. Then he went to Holy Prophet (s.a.w.). Seeing him, Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) face become reddish. When Hazrat Abu Bakr saw Holy Prophet was so much displeased with Hazrat Umar, he sat on knees, and requested, mistake was mine, please forgive Umar……Such was Hazrat Abu Bakr (r.a.)’s humbleness and fear of Allah the Exalted and Hazrat Umar (r.a.) came to seek forgiveness. Regret was from both sides.
This was the pure society established by Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) and its habitants received pleasure of Allah the Exalted.

Along with it, sign of believer mentioned that they do such spending for the sake of pleasure of Allah the Exalted. ‘..wa ma tunfeqoon illabtegha-aa wajhillah’ ..and ‘you do not spend except for getting pleasure of Allah’.

Even though when we see the early state of Arabs, they are seen laying in very low state. They were occupied in idol-worshipping, they were bold and fearless in usurping wealth of orphans and in all kind of evil deeds, they would do live like dacoits. In short, they were sunk in filth from head to feet.”
But, he (s.a.w.) created such revolution in them, example of which is not found in other nations and this miracle of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) is so great that it is enough to open eyes of the world.
“It is difficult to reform a person but here a nation was prepared which showed such model of their Eman (belief) and sincerity that, for truth they were slaughtered like sheep and goat, which they had opted. Reality is this, they did not remain earthly but teaching of Messenger of Allah, (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) guidance and effective advice had made them heavenly, holy properties were developed in them. It is that model of Islam, which we present before the world. Due to this correction and guidance, Allah gave the name Muhammad to Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) as prophesy, by which his praise took place in earth, because he filled the earth with peace, conciliation and excellent morals and beneficence.”

==16 Examples of Acceptance of Prayer, Worldwide – Philosophy and Requirements of Acceptance of Prayer == Peace and mercy of Allah be on you… Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said about philosophy of acceptance of prayer, at an occasion:
“ A child, when being restless with hunger, cries out and screams for milk, then milk comes in the breast of mother with excitement. Baby does not even know the name of prayer but how his screams attract milk….Sometimes, it is seen that mothers even do not feel milk but crying of baby attract milk…Then, when our cries are in Huzur (the Presence) of Allah, cannot they attract anything. Comes and everything comes but blind eyed, who consider themselves proficient and philosopher, they cannot see. The relation, the baby has, with his mother, if human ponders on philosophy of prayer by keeping that connection and relation in his mind, it looks very easy and simple.”
==
Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) explained that, It is great favour of Allah the Exalted to us, Ahmadis, that many of our young and elders understand that we bow before Allah the Exalted with eagerness, pleading, humbleness and prayer is done, Allah the Exalted accepts prayers…….Sometimes such events due to acceptance of prayer take place, which surprise others too. Many people write to him, sometime they have such condition that they have no hope from anywhere. At that time when they bowed before Allah the Exalted, He did fazl / favor which caused strength in their Eman (belief). Some of such events come in reports.
==
1) Naazir dawat elallah, Qadian writes, that Amir of Hoshiarpur district said, few years ago people of his village Kharar Achharwal were quite worried due to lack of rain. Even, the well-water had reached to lowest level. Hindu majority of that place asked Muallam (our religious teacher, in eastern panjab, Muallam … is called ‘mian ji’) to do prayer …. They were sure if they would ask Ahmadi-Muallam for prayer, rain would come. Our Muallam firstly told them etiquette of Islamic prayer and attributes of Allah the Exalted then he lead the prayer….. Allah the Exalted accepted the prayer of this Muallam of Jama’at Ahmadiyya and poured torrential rain within two or three hour, and gave proof of His ‘samiuddua’ (listener of prayer)…..By the fazl of Allah the Exalted, very good effect took place on whole village and they openly said that rain came by the acceptance of Ahmadis. ….more @ https://www.religiousforums.com/threads/16-examples-of-acceptance-of-prayer-worldwide-philosophy-and-requirements-of-acceptance-of-prayer.205053/
Two Prayers for Security – Requirements and Deep Meaning ===
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you….
Translations of verses:
[40:1] In the name of Allah, al-Rahman (limitlessly Merciful, Who grants, without one asks), al-Rahim (repeatedly Merciful).
[40:2] Ha (Hameed: the One Who has praise) Mim (Majeed: the One Who has majd / glory).
[40:3] The revelation of this Book is from Allah, al-Aziz (Who has complete dominance), al-Aleem (Who has perfect knowledge),
[40:4] Ghafer iz zumbe (The Forgiver of sin) and Qaabelit taube (the Acceptor of repentance), Shadid il eqaabe (Severe in punishment), Zit tol (Who grants a lot, and Who has vastness). There is none worthy of worship except Him. Towards Him is the final return.
===
[2:256] Allah – there is none worthy of worship except Him, al-Haai (Always Alive), al-Qaiyum (Exists by Himself). Slumber seizes Him not, nor sleep. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that will intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them; and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He pleases. His kursi / kingdom extends over the heavens and the earth; and the care of both of them burdens Him not; and He is al-Ali (Who has very great glory) al-Azim (Who has great magnificence).

Revealed Prayers to Understand Oneness of God and to Get Safety from God
===========================================================
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you…. A momin, a person who claims he believes in Allah the Exalted, he should always keep this commandment of His before him that Allah the Exalted has made us for ‘ibadat’ (worship, devotion), as He says ‘wa ma khalaqtul jinna wal insa illa leyabodoon’ — I have made jinn and ins (hidden and common people) for ibadat.
==
Allah the Exalted told us, ways of ibadat, which contain apparent movement and pauses, and also words of prayers which can also be called ‘zikr’.
Salaat contains both these things i.e. apparent movements and zikr / prayers too. But, in addition to Salaat-s, a momin should do zikr and prayers and keep remembering God the Exalted.
In Holy Quran, Allah the Exalted taught us various prayers, in reference to various Prophets, which we can recite in Salaat and also as zikr while moving here and there.
==
Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) said that often people ask him that they have lot of worries and troubles, please tell any prayer and zikr for keep repeating for removal of their difficulties and troubles….. Huzur (a t) said, he usually writes them to pay attention to Salaats, pray during sajdas / prostrations, pray during Salaat and seek help from their God the Exalted. But today he wanted to tell about a zikr which is a Sunnah of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) too and prayers revealed by God the Exalted. By reciting with pondering at its meaning, as human gets understanding of Tauheed (Oneness) of Allah the Exalted, he also comes in safety and shelter of Allah the Exalted, and remains secure from all kind of evils.

Fulfillment of a Grand Prophecy in Promised Revival of Faith – Musleh Moud – The Promised Reformer Son
=================================================================
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you…. These days, Jalsas (gatherings) with respect to Musleh Mo’ud Day (Promised-Reformer-Day), are being arranged, wherever chapters (Jama’ats) are established. February 20, is the date, on which Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) prophesied about the birth of a son by getting news from Allah the Exalted. He (a.s.) published a leaflet about it on 20 February 1886, various properties of the promised son were mentioned in it.
In accordance to this, Musleh Moud Day is observed on 20 th February, wherever it is possible, however if appropriate facilities are not available on this date, the date is moved forward or back.
To observe Musleh Mo’ud Day and to organize Jalsas in this regard, is actually due to fulfillment of a majestic prophecy of Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace), it is not due to the birth of Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad, Khalifatul Messiah II (may Allah be pleased with him)… This clarification is done because members living in West, youth of new generation or people who lack knowledge ask, as Musleh Moud Day is observed, why do birthdays of other Khulafa not celebrated….In this regard, it should be clear, this day (20 th February) is not day of birth of Hazrat Musleh Mo’ud (r.a.). He was born on 12 th January 1889.
Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) further presented:
1- Words of Divine Prophesy about Musleh Mo’ud (promised reformer), as Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) presented.
2- It is evident from writings of Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) that, according to him, prophesy was fulfilled in person of (his eldest son) Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (latter, Khalifatul Messiah II r.a.)
3- Likewise Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah I (may Allah be pleased with him) and some other pious members had same view (as above).
4-Various properties and signs were prophesied about the promised son. Some examples are mentioned, how these signs were fulfilled and our own people and others mentioned and felt it.
Words of Divine Prophesy about Musleh Mo’ud (promised reformer son), as Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) presented. (Translation)
“..Prophesy – which is about this most humble, today on 20 February 1886 which coincides with 15 Jamadi ul awwal , with consideration of conciseness and brevity of sentences of revelation – is written as sample. And will be written in detail in booklet. If Allah the Exalted Wills.
First Prophecy, with revelation and declaration by Allah the Exalted and Majestic.
God, Who is Repeatedly-Merciful, Noble, Respected and High, Who is Capable to do everything (Great is His status and His name is honored) said by addressing me with His revelation.
I give you a sign of mercy, according to what you asked for from Me.
Hence I heard your supplications and gave place to your prayers to the rank of acceptance by My mercy.
And blessed your journey (which is journey of Hoshiarpur and Ludhianah) for you.
Hence the sign of power, mercy and nearness is given to you.
Sign of favour and benefaction is granted to you.
And you get the key of opening and victory.
O victorious, peace be on you.
God said it, so that those who seek life, should get salvation from the clutch of death,
And those who have been buried in graves, should come out,
And so that dignity of religion of Islam and of status of the Word of Allah should become manifest to people,
And so that truth should come with all is blessings and false should run away with all its misfortunes,
And so that people should understand that I am Capable what I desire I do,
And so that they should be sure that I am with you,
And so that those should get a manifest sign, who do not believe in the Being of God and see God and God’s religion and His Book and His holy Messenger Muhammad the Chosen one (s) by way of denial and belying,
And the way of criminals should become evident.
Hence good-news to you, that a honorable and holy boy will be given to you.

He will come in world and will free many from diseases by the blessing of his Messianic self and spirit of truth.
He is Allah’s word because mercy and keen-sense-of-honour of God has sent him with His glorifying word.
He will be very brainy and understanding, and humble at heart, and will be filled with external and internal knowledge.
And he will be maker of three into four.
It is Monday the blessed Monday.
(Persian) Son, delight of heart, high ranking, noble.
(Arabic) A manifestation of the First and the Last, a manifestation of True and the High as if Allah has descended from heavens.
Whose advent will be very blessed and cause of manifesting of Divine Majesty.

And nations will get blessing from him.
Then, will be raised to place for his soul in heaven.
(Arabic) And it is a thing decreed.”

== For Peace in Homes and Society – Need to Adopt and Practice Excellent Morals ==
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you…. In Islam, as much teaching is given with the smallest detail to adopt excellent morals and to practice them at every occasion, in homes, in society and at each level with own and other people – such detail is not mentioned in any other religion.
But unfortunately, the very Muslims usually, are considered at lowest level in this regard. Non-Muslims point finger at them that they do not practice their teaching.
Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), on various occasions and by his practice, repeatedly stressed on his Ummah to obtain high levels of morals.
Muslims usually claim love of Messenger (s.a.w.) but their practice at his (s.a.w.) words and Sunnah is equal to none.
Keeping this state of Muslims in view, as it was to happen, Allah the Exalted sent Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). But, they deny to pay attention to this, rather some people have reached to extreme in opposition in some countries and use severely foul language of a moral less person, against Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) and his believers, and due to it they are facing the result too as everywhere in the world non-Muslims disgrace them, as is mentioned earlier.
This state of them should draw attention of us, Ahmadis, that we should make effort with all our capacities to adopt high morals which is teaching of Islam and whose model was established by Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) before us or he (s.a.w.) guided about these morals in any way. Otherwise, there is no benefit for us to be, and to be called Ahmadi.
We see remarkably high levels of morals in practices of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
In domestic conditions, somewhere Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) shows great dislike to one wife who mocked about smaller height of other wife, that no one should be given emotional pain. Somewhere he teaches one wife there should be no slightest dislike about any act of other wife.
At an occasion, he (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) guides to raise morals of children that they should not waste semi-ripened fruits of people by throwing stones at trees. He (s.a.w.) told a child if he was very hungry he should eat fallen palm-dates from ground. But he (s.a.w.) also advised that the best thing is, I pray for you that may such condition never come to you that you have to eat fallen dates, you may never be so desperate, may Allah the Exalted keep making means for you.
With this prayer, Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) drew attention of child that he should turn to only Allah the Exalted for fulfillment of desires, not getting the possessions of people in wrong way……. Though such fallen things are allowed in desperate situations, but he (s.a.w.) asked to use high morals and it is virtue.
A child was eating quickly and moving his hand all over the plate. Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) asked him to first recite ‘bismillah’ (with the name of Allah), eat with right hand and eat from in front of him.
So, children should be trained in this way so that they get high morals when they grow.

== Lessons from the Companions’ (ra) Sacrifices, Status and Blessings upon them ==
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you… About sacrifices, status and bounties of Allah the Exalted on Sahabah (Companions: may Allah be pleased with them) of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), Hazrat Aqdas Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said: “Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave all his wealth and possessions in the path of God the Exalted. And himself, wore blanket. But what did Allah the Exalted gave him at this; made him king of all Arab and made Islam alive by his hand from new point. And showed again to make apostate-Arabiya alive. And gave him all that which was not in fancy and thought of anyone. In short, sincerity and purity and loyalty and regard of those people is follow-able of each Muslim. The life of Sahabah was a such life that this example does not exist in any Prophet’s life from life of all Prophets… The real thing is that, as long as human, by getting separated from his desires and aims, does not come in the Huzur (Presence) of God the Exalted, he does not obtain anything, rather he does his own loss. But if he gets separated from his all self’s desires and aims and go to the Huzur of God the Exalted empty handed and with pure heart, then God gives him, and God the Exalted does his help. But the very condition is this, that human should be ready to die and become sayer of goodbye to disgrace and death in His path….Look, world is a mortal thing, but its delight is received by those who leave it for the sake of God. It is the very reason, the person who is freind of God the Exalted, God the Exalted spreads acceptance for him in the world. It is the same acceptance, for which the one who is absorbed in world, do thousand efforts, so that, by any way, may a title is obtained or chair is obtained in any place or in Court and name is written in chair-sitters. In short, all worldly honors are given to him and his magnificence and acceptance is given in each heart, who becomes ready to leave and to lose everything for God the Exalted, not only ready but leaves. So it is, that everything is given to those who lose, for God the Exalted……. For earthly governments, the one who loses even very little, they get reward. So the one who loses for God, then will he not get reward. They do not die, until they get manifold than it which they have given in the path of God the Exalted. God the Exalted does not keep loan of anyone to Him. But it is sad, there are very few people who believe these things and know the reality of these.”
==
We see the models of those who show this sincerity and purity, benevolence and regard, with such splendor that surprises human. The power of spiritual cleansing of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) not only changed the directions of their loves from earthly life to God, but gave such heights to the standards of those loves whose example was nonexistent in world before….. How beautifully Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has mentioned the example of this rising and height, said: “The example of this standard of love and sacrifice by them is not even present in the lives of previous Prophets.” …….And as the state of followers of those prophets is concerned, it was very low as compared to Sahabah. These Sahabah were clean of all their self’s desires. They lived their lives by being clean heart and being pure for Allah the Exalted and only and only to get pleasure of Allah the Exalted. When this is the state, God the Exalted blesses and blesses limitlessly. We see these things in the lives of Sahabah. The events of some Sahabah are being presented how they brought their selves under God the Exalted and what models they showed.
