Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 438 I Wish to See the Standard of the Companions ra in My Jam a ‘at I wish to see this very standard of the Companions ra in my Jam a ‘at—that they should give precedence to Almighty Allah without letting anything stand in their way. They should con- sider their property and life as insignificant. I see some people’s postcards come in. If they suffer a loss in any trade or other interest, or any other type of affliction comes their way, they suddenly give into doubts. In such a condition, everyone can understand how far they are from the true objective and purpose. Reflect upon how great the difference is between the Companions ra and these people. The Companions ra wanted to please God Almighty irrespective of the extremity of hardships and atrocities they would have to bear in this path. If one did not face suffering and hardship and he had to wait, he would cry and scream. They had realized that the title and treasure of God’s pleasure lay hidden beneath those afflictions. یں وقم را قح دادہ اتس ک� رہ الب اتس اہنبدہ رکم جنگ آں ر ز�ی� Every trial that God has decreed for this nation, Has a treasure of God’s blessings concealed beneath it. The Holy Quran is full of their praise. Open it and see. The life of the Companions ra was the practical proof of the truth of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. The height achieved by the Companions ra has been described this way in the Holy Quran: 1 ْمُهْنِم ْنَّم ىٰضَق ٗهَبْحَن َو ْمُهْنِم ْنَّم ُرِظَتْنَّي ْمُهْنِم ْنَّم ىٰضَق ٗهَبْحَن َو ْمُهْنِم ْنَّم ُرِظَتْنَّي 1.
