Why Every Muslim Must Love the Sahabah (RA) | Swindon Jamia Masjid | 26/06/2026

The Status of the Sahabah (RA) in Islam In this powerful Islamic reminder, we reflect on the honoured status of the Sahabah (Companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) as described in the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah. Allah ﷻ chose Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as the best of creation and then selected the Sahabah (RA) to be his companions, supporters, and the carriers of Islam to the generations that followed. This lecture explains why loving and respecting the Sahabah is an essential part of our faith and why Muslims should be cautious of misinformation, especially on social media. As the blessed month of Muharram continues, this reminder encourages Muslims to strengthen their understanding of Islamic history through the Qur'an and Sunnah rather than unreliable sources or emotional narratives. Topics Covered: • Who are the Sahabah (RA)? • Why Allah ﷻ chose the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ • Quranic verses about the Sahabah • The importance of following the understanding of the Sahabah • Loving the Sahabah as part of Iman • Protecting ourselves from misinformation on social media • The dangers of attacking or disrespecting the Companions • Preserving authentic Islamic knowledge through the Qur'an and Sunnah May Allah ﷻ grant us love for the Sahabah (RA), strengthen our Iman, and keep us steadfast upon the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
