By Shaykh Abdur Razzaq Al-Badr The topic of this discussion is entitled "Our obligation concerning the noble companions" (May Allah be pleased with them); which is an enormous duty and a great demand (by Islam) that is fitting for us all to peek our interest and devote the utmost concern for. The honored reader should also know that our obligation to the companions is a part of our obligation to our religion; the religion of Islam which Allah has approved for His servants. No other religion besides it will not be accepted from them as Allah says, "Truly, the religion with Allah is Islām." [Surah Ali Imran 3:19] Likewise, Allah says. "And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter, he will be one of the losers." [Surah 'Ali Imran 3:85]. And Allah says. "This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." [Surah al-Ma'idah 5:3] Page 97
