The Prophet said, “My Sahaba are like stars; whichever you follow, you will be guided.” The Sahaba are our main link to Allah and His beloved Prophet. They preserved the Quran and hadith and transmitted the tradition and spirit of our faith to us in whole. Thus, those who question the integrity of the Sahaba essentially question the divine nature of the Quran and hadith. The purpose of these talks is to bring out the humanity of the Sahaba. Yes, they were legends and heroes, but they were also humans with needs and wants like the rest of us. Yet, they were different from us in that that they suffered all their needs and wants for the sake of Allah and His beloved Prophet. As a result, their shortcomings did not take away from their being granted the eternal pleasure of Allah. By understanding our commonality with them as fallible beings, we are inspired to follow their example to achieve success in this dunya and the Hereafter.
