EPISODE 5 – THE FOURTH FOUNDATION
They consider it obligatory to obey the Muslim authorities as long as they do not command disobedience [to Allāh (ﷻ)]. If they command disobedience, it is not permissible to obey them in that. However, they still must be obeyed in that which is good regarding other matters. They consider prayer behind them, Jihaad along with them, supplicating for them to be righteous and upright and advising them to correct their actions. They forbid rising against the Muslim authorities if they commit an act that is opposed to Islam, as long as it is not an act of disbelief. This is due to the Prophet’s (ﷺ) command to obey them in what is not disobedience to Allāh (ﷻ) as long as they do not commit clear disbelief. This stance is the opposite of what the misguided sects believe.

THE FIFTH FOUNDATION

They love the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) and their hearts and tongues are content concerning them. All of the Companions were just and they were the best of this nation. Attesting to the Companions’ faith and virtue is an absolute well-known fundamental of the religion by necessity. Loving them is the religion and faith, and hating them is disbelief and hypocrisy. Everyone who accompanied or saw the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) (while being a Muslim) is from the Companions. It makes no difference whether he accompanied him for a year, a month, a day or an hour. They refrain from delving into what differences arose between them and their differences is left to their Lord.
Whoever among them was correct he will have two rewards, and whoever among them was incorrect, then he will have one reward. They do not revile anyone of the Companions due to the Prophet’s (ﷺ) statement:
“Do not curse my companions, for by Him in Whose Hand is my soul, if one of you spends an amount of gold equal to Mount Uhud, he will not reach a Mudd or Nasif(measures pertaining to food) spent by one of them.”
(Ibn Majah 161)
They believe that the four Companions, Abu Bakr, ‘Umar,’ Uthmān and ‘Ali (رضي الله عنهم), are the best of this nation after its Prophet (ﷺ), and they are the Rightly-Guided Caliphs. They also love the family of the Prophet (ﷺ), acting in accordance with his statement:
“I remind you to fear Allāh regarding my household (i.e family)”
(Riyad as-Salihin 711)
Among the household of the Prophet (ﷺ) were his wives, the Mothers of the Believers. They believe that the Prophet’s (ﷺ) wives are pure and innocent of every evil. They will also be his wives in Paradise.
