Ashab e Suffah Aur Unki Hayat o Khidmat by Maulana Ashraf Ali Ilahi Qasmi. Suffa is the first madrassa not only in the history of Islam but also in the history of the world, where the Holy Prophet (PBUH) arranged education for the poor and incapable companions. But it is a strange coincidence that no permanent book is available on this subject, not only in Urdu but also in Arabic and Persian.
Congratulations to Mr. Maulana Ashraf Ali Qasmi for choosing a completely new topic for his work and covering all aspects of his research work. In this book, he mentions the history of Suffah, method of teaching, discipline, management and administration, method of training, condition of guardians, and the names of 95 Companions who were educated from Madrasa Suffah. Maulana has prepared a reliable document by recording the detailed circumstances of all these Companions.
These Islamic schools of thought, which are now based on all corners of the globe, are related to the Madrasa e Suffah, which is the first madrasa of Islam on the earth, whose founder and administrator, teacher, and mentor is the benefactor of humanity, Hazrat Muhammad PBUH. The students of Madrasa Suffah are the pillars of Islam, the armies of Islam, the youth of Allah’s army, and the special companions of the Prophet of Islam. The ones who were the best believers, the most benevolent, the most God-fearing, and God’s friends.
People wrote about the angels, the biographies of the Prophets, stories of the Sahaba, the biographies of the Sufis, the biographies of the scholars, and Written about the masters of the Islamic madrassas. Maulana Muhammad Ashraf Ali Ashiq Elahi Qasmi has written a huge book on this subject. I haven’t read the book yet, but a cursory glance has given me a good idea. One is that there are detailed biographies, and the details of all the companions of Suffah have been searched and collected as much as possible. Secondly, there is a complete arrangement of references. Hardly anything is written without reference, and the author’s work is fully appreciated. Therefore, this book is reliable insha’Allah. May Allah Almighty make it a source of the Hereafter for the author, and may the Muslim Ummah benefit from it. When good people are mentioned, God’s mercy is revealed, so reading this book is not without mercy and blessings. May Allah grant the author more strength to do such good deeds. Ameen
