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 Medina) seek Allah’s bounty and His goodwill, and are ever ready to succour Allah and His Messenger.  They indeed are the Truthful.

 

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 Paradise! AbuBakr will go to Paradise! Umar will go to Paradise! Uthman will go to Paradise! Ali will go to Paradise! Talhah will go to Paradise! Az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam will go to paradise! Sa'd ibn Malik will go to Paradise! and Abdur Rahman ibn Awf will go to Paradise!  If you wish, I can mention the tenth.’ The people asked: ‘Who is he?’  So he (Hadrat Said ibn Zayd) kept silence. They again asked: ‘Who is he?’  He (Hadrat Said ibn Zayd) replied: ‘He is Sa'id ibn Zayd.’

 

 

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 Paradise, 'O Allah's slave! This is good.' He who is amongst those who pray will be called from the gate of the prayer (in Paradise) and he who is from the people of Jihad will be called from the gate of Jihad, and he who is from those who give in charity (i.e. Zakat) will be called from the gate of charity, and he who is amongst those who observe fast will be called from the gate of fasting, the gate of Raiyan."  Abu Bakr said, "He who is called from all those gates will need nothing," He added, "Will anyone be called from all those gates, O Allah's Messenger (saws)?" He (saws) said, "Yes, and I hope you will be among those, O Abu Bakr."

 

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 Everlasting Gardens of Paradise:

  1. Belief
  2. 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.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
