Encyclopedia > All Sahaba go to heaven
This is a sub-article to Sunni view of the Sahaba.


Sunnis belive that all Sahaba go to heaven, due to the uprightness of all Sahaba. For other views of Sahaba and a short description, see sahaba // Sunni introduction According to the general Sunni school of thought, All Sahaba were truthful, reliable and Upright. ... Sunni Islam (Arabic سنّة) is the largest denomination of Islam. ... In the Islamic religion, the Sahaba (or Asahaaba,الصحابه; both forms are plural--the singular is Sahaabi, which is Arabic for friend, or companion) are the companions of the Prophet Muhammad. ... Michelangelos interpretation of Heaven Heaven is an afterlife concept found in many religions or spiritual philosophies. ...

Undoubtedly, such phrases as "did all the Sahaba enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong? No" shall come as millstones around the neck of their speakers on the Day of Judgment, when they shall be facing the Sahaba - and the Prophet (saw)- in shame. And Allah Most High might ask them: What business did you have reviling the men and women I chose as Companions for My Most Beloved, Most Respected, Most Praised Servant?? [1]
Allah has chosen the sahaba over all of humankind. He has promised them heaven because of their patience and strong faith. [2]
The general body of Sahaba were told about the heavens, whilst the special Sahaba were told about special occurrences. Hazrath Bilal was told about how his footsteps were heard in Heaven (Jannah) because he always remained in a state of ‘ritual purity’ (wudhu) and always performed the two-nafil salaat of wudhu. The ladies were told about how hell will be filled by a majority of women due to their being ungrateful. The Ulema were told about their tongues being cut by scissors of fire because they preached morality but they practised to the contrary.
When he told the general Sahaba about the meetings with the different Prophets, he also mentioned how he saw Musa (Alai' his salaam) in his Blessed Grave. The words of the Hadith are " Kana yusalli fi qabrihi". The word Salaat (yusalli) in Arabic means "namaaz or prayer", and it also means, "to send blessings” (durood / salaam)". So it could mean he saw Musa (Alai' his salaam) reading his namaaz or, my belief tells me that Musa (Alai' his salaam) saw the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and Musa (Alai' his salaam) sent salutations ("durood o salaam”) upon the Leader of the Messengers (Sayyid ul-mursaleen).
When he sat with the most special Sahaba, the four beloveds, (chaar yaar) and those that had deep knowledge coupled with inner illumination (Ashab us-Safa or Ahle Marifa), he told them about his seeing and experiencing of Allah (Didare Ilahi) and the spiritual connotation of the Mi'raj. [3]
