The Ten Companions Who Were Promised Paradise

A Companion is someone who sees the Beloved of Allah once, or is seen for a moment by Rasulallah with his heart filled with the light of faith. The Messenger of Allah himself said, “My Companions are like stars; whichever you follow, you will find the right way!” Companions are not only the highest and most advanced layer of human beings after the prophets and messengers, but also in degrees and layers within themselves… They were dis-tinguished from each other by the degrees as-signed to them by the Master of the Universe with a special measure.
