Our duty towards the Companions of 'Abd Ar-Razzak Al-Badr - IBN BADIS Edition

An Essential Epistle on a Pillar of Faith

The subject addressed in this precious epistle is fundamental: our duty towards the noble companions of the Prophet ﷺ. It is not just a matter of moral respect or intellectual posture, but a structuring element of the Muslim faith, intimately linked to our attachment to Islam.

Cheikh 'Abd Ar-Razzâq Al-Badr, a scholar known for his clarity and rigor, sheds light through this concise and impactful work on:

• The unique status of the companions

• Their place in religion

• The texts of the Quran and Sunnah that call for honoring them

• The behaviors to adopt towards them

• The pitfalls to avoid regarding criticism or denigration of them

A Spiritual and Doctrinal Education

The author begins by emphasizing that our duty towards the companions is part of our duty towards Islam itself. Allah سبحانه وتعالى chose these men to accompany His Messenger ﷺ, not by chance, but by divine wisdom. This choice is mentioned and supported in several Quranic verses.

Among them:

“You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind.”
(Surah Âl ‘Imrân, verse 110)

The primary recipients of this verse are the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, the early Muslims, the faithful conveyors of the divine message.
