Umar bin Abdulaziz & Sahaba e Karam - Dr Israr Ahmad

Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the relative merits of Umar bin Abdulaziz and Abu Bakr Siddique, clarifying the concept of absolute versus partial excellence among prophets and companions. He explains that while Umar bin Abdulaziz achieved a high spiritual station, Abu Bakr Siddique holds the position of absolute excellence among the companions, and all companions are superior to non-companions. The lecture highlights that partial excellence can be observed in various prophets, such as Moses and Jesus, but the complete and absolute excellence rests with Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Dr. Israr Ahmad also emphasizes the significant transformation in Umar bin Abdulaziz’s life from a life of luxury to one of austerity and devotion, while acknowledging the exceptional status of those companions who participated in battles alongside the Prophet. He cites the example of a companion whose horse was wounded during a battle with the Prophet, stating that even that wounded horse holds a higher status than Umar bin Abdulaziz due to its direct association with the Prophet's struggles.
