"And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajireen and the Ansaar and those who followed them exactly [in faith]. Allah is well pleased with them as they are well pleased with Him", {Surah At Taubah: 100}
The first generation of Muslim were no doubt the greatest Muslims in terms of their faith, their sacrfice and their honour of having met the greatest of creation, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم. And yet, most Muslims today know less about them than they do about the celebrities they see around them in the media. How can we possibly aspire to follow in their footsteps and reach their ranks when we spend more time learning about the lives of celebrities than the lives of these great men, whom Allah Himself is pleased with.
This course is aimed at those who wish derive benefits from the lives of those who were closest to the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم in his times of need and in making Islam victorious, without whom, undoubtedly Islam would not have reached us.
In this course you will learn:
- How were they related to the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم?
- Who were his closest male Companions?
-Which of them were the most virtuous and why?
- What effect did they have on his life and Da'wah?
- Why are Khulaafa held in such high regard?
- What revelations were revealed concerning them?
- How did they defend the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم?
- How did he deal with companions in his life?
- What examples have they left for the believing men of today?
- What lessons can we derive from their lives?

"I have been studying at Tayyibun Institute since 2008 and last year I moved to Saudi Arabia. Although I was very happy, I soon realized that I could not seek knowledge without first learning the Arabic Language. Whilst learning Arabic I also wanted to seek Islamic knowledge. I saw some online courses but felt that it would not be as good as Tayyibun Institute, so I was very happy when I found out that they have online courses. Even though one might think that their online courses are not as good as the centre, it turned out to be better than going to the centre, not only because I live in Saudi Arabia but mainly because you will be able to study in your own time. From what I have experienced I can say that the courses at Tayyibun Institute (and online) are very much practical. Jazaahum'Allahu Khairan"
