Beliefs concerning the Sahabah (Companions)
1. 1. Those Muslims who have seen our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and have died as Muslims, are known as Sahabah. Very great virtues have been mentioned with regard to them. We have to love and think good of all of them. If we hear of any dispute or conflict among them, we should regard it as a misunderstanding or a miscalculation. We should not speak any ill of them. The greatest among them are four Companions: Hadrat Abu Bakr Siddiq radiallahu anhu. He took the place of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and supervised the matters of the Deen. He is therefore called the first Khalifah. He is the best person in the entire ummat. After him comes Hadrat Umar radiallahu anhu. He is the second Khalifah. After him is the third Khalifah, Hadrat Uthman radiallahu anhu. After him is the fourth Khalifah, Hadrat Ali radiallahu anhu.
2. The status of the Sahabah is so high that even the greatest of walis cannot reach a stage equal to the lowest Sahabi.
3. All the children and wives of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are worthy of respect. Among his children, Hadrat Fatima radiallahu anha has the highest status. Among his wives, Hadrat Khadija and Hadrat Aisha radiallahu anhuma have the highest status.
General Beliefs
1. One's Imân (faith) is only complete when one regards Allâh and His Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as true in everything and accepts everything from them. To have a doubt regarding any aspect of Allâh and His Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or to reject it, or to find faults with it, or to mock at it will cause the Imân to go away.
2. To reject the clear meanings of the Quran and Hadith, and to twist their meanings by concocting one's own meaning amounts to disbelief.
3. By regarding a sin to be permissible, one's Imân goes away.
4. No matter how serious a sin may be, as long as it is regarded as a sin, Imân will remain. However, it (Imân) does get weaker (diminish).
5. To be absolutely fearless of Allâh Ta'âla, or to despair of His mercy amounts to kufr.
6. To ask someone of unseen things (ghayb) and to have conviction in them is kufr.
7. No one knows the unseen except Allâh Ta'âla. However, certain things are made known to prophets through revelations (wahi), to walis through manifestations and inspirations (kashf and ilhâm), and to ordinary people through signs.
8. To call a person a kafir by name or to curse him is a major sin. However, we can say in general terms: Allâh's curse be on the oppressors, or Allâh's curse be on the liars. If Allâh and His Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have cursed someone specifically by name, or informed us of them being kafir; it will not be a sin for us to call them kafir or mal'un (accursed).
9. When a person dies and if he is buried, then after he is buried; and if he is not buried, then in whatever state he may be in; two angels come to him. One's name is Munkar and the other is
