<\/a><\/p>\nAbdullah bin Abbas<\/h3>\n
Sayyidina Abdullah bin Abbas is the paternal cousin of the Prophet pbuh and he was only 13 years old when the Al-Mukminin passed away. Known as al-Habr al-Bahr (the scholar and vast ocean), he has a deep understanding of the al-Quran.<\/p>\n
Rasulullah pbuh made a dua for him:
\n\u201cO Lord, make him acquire a deep understanding of the religion of Islam and instruct him in the meaning and interpretation of things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sayyidina\u00a0Abdullah bin Abbas has a strong will to gain \u2018ilm and perform ibadah. He is well known to follow the actions of Rasulullah pbuh such as performing tahajjud and always retained what he said and commit them to memory.<\/p>\n
Additionally, besides his deep sea of knowledge, he is always willing to fight and uphold the Deen. During the sovereignity of caliphate Sayyidina\u00a0Uthman bin Affan, Sayyidina\u00a0Abdullah bin Abbas was part of a battle during a da’wah mission in northern Africa. He was also involved in the battle of Jamal and Siffin with the caliphate Sayyidina\u00a0Ali bin Abi Talib.<\/p>\n
Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl<\/h3>\n
The son of Abu Jahl, a well-known Quraisy who hated the Prophet pbuh, Sayyidina\u00a0Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl converted to Islam after being saved from an impending storm in the middle of the sea by the decree of Allah.<\/p>\n
One of the most striking things about Sayyidina\u00a0Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl is him bequeathing his revenge for Rasulullah pbuh and the companions for the death of his father during the Battle of Badr.<\/p>\n
Ikrimah was also purely altruistic and willing to sacrifice himself for others. Says Sayyidina\u00a0Abdullah bin Masud, one of the Prophet\u2019s closest companions, \u201cSayyidina\u00a0Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl, Suhail bin Amar and Haris bin Hisyam are amongst the lines during the Battle of Yarmuk. During the final moments of their deaths, there was a companion who gave them water to drink. However, they prioritise their other companions instead and offered them their drinks and this led to their deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aisyah bint Abu Bakr<\/h3>\n
Ummul Mukminin is the daughter of Sayyidina\u00a0Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and one of the wives of our beloved Prophet pbuh.<\/p>\n
Sayyidatina\u00a0Aisyah bint Abu Bakr married the Prophet pbuh when she was 6 years old and started living with him when she reached 9 years old. When the Prophet died, Sayyidatina\u00a0Aisyah was only 18 years old.<\/p>\n
Sayyidatina\u00a0Aisyah bint Abu Bahr is an unyielding mujahidah. During the Battle of Badr, she and Ummu Sulaym carried buckets of water and quenched the thirst of the Muslims that were hurt from the battlefield. They will continue to and fro to fill up the buckets and help the wounded.<\/p>\n
Also fondly known as Humaira (the red-cheeked) by the Prophet pbuh, Sayyidatina\u00a0Aisyah possesses a plethora of knowledge ranging from faraidh, fiqh, Arabic poetry and history, and the \u2018ilm of genealogy. Ata\u2019 bin Abi Rabah was recorded in al-Bidayah wan Nihayah saying that Ummul Mukminin is someone who has a deep knowledge of fiqh, an ulama of highest knowledge and someone with the highest order of thinking.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These were among the many lessons to be drawn from the accounts of the companions and Dr Daniyal gave a very animated and zealous discussion on them.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h3>\n
The seminar, in my opinion, was a success on the basis that some of the attendees felt that it was beneficial and there was much to be learnt. I certainly enjoyed the lecture as Dr Daniyal was very enthusiastic in his execution of teaching us the backgrounds of these 5 legendary heroes. It was enlightening to know more about them and thinking how immensely different we are from the generation of the Prophet pbuh, the Tabi\u2019in and Tabi\u2019 al-Tabi\u2019in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe seminar was fruitful and Dr Daniyal not only shares stories of the companions, he draws his life experiences to spice things up and make things interesting,\u201d commented Nur Amalynna Juraimy, a youth A.L.I.VE. student from Al-Iman mosque.<\/p>\n
However, not all of the reviews of the seminar were sanguine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt that the event was too short and even though the stories shared by Dr Daniyal were interesting, it is difficult to relate the stories to the modern context,\u201d Nur Humairah Muhleseddin, a student of NUS Faculty of Arts and Social science, remarked.<\/p>\n
Overall, the seminar left the impression that I have much to read up on these outstanding characters that have contributed so much to Islam. The spark to learn was lighted by Dr Daniyal but to exercise a commitment to learning about the Deen and emulating the companions is entirely up to us.<\/p>\n
