Prophet Muhammad (S) said, "My Companions are like the stars; whoever among them you use for guidance, you will be rightly guided." Stars have aided travelers for centuries, helping them navigate open waters, arid deserts and climb the highest peaks. Similarly, the companions of the Prophet can brighten our journey along the straight path. They have provided us with examples of impeccable manners, unwavering faith, and brilliant leadership skills. Join us to learn about the companions and the distinguished characteristics that we should all strive to emulate.
