Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is reading the biographies of the Companions and knowing their positions with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) considered among the means that draw one near to Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
Answer:
Yes, it is among the means of drawing near, and it is also part of the creed. This is part of the creed, because one of the foundations of the creed is loving the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). You will not know their virtue and their status unless you read their biographies, their biographies and their conditions. Yes.
