ACHIEVEMENTS

Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique رضي الله عنه  was completely humble and led a most simple life, yet he is the greatest after the Ambiyaa(Alaihimus Salaam). He was the first Khalifa to succeed
Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم  and, as has been mentioned, the 8 gates of Jannat will all call out to him to enter Jannat through them, on the Day of Qiyaamah. Is success like this, both in this worldly life as well as the next, not an achievement ?

Hazrat Umar رضي الله عنه  ruled over two thirds of the then known world during his Khilafat yet we find him sleeping under a tree, dressed in patched clothing and considering himself to be utterly insignificant.

On one occasion, a thought passed through his mind : “O Umar, You are great. Ambassadors from huge empires come to meet you….” What did he do ? He took a water bag, filled it and began to distribute water. (They did not have taps at that time).

Someone asked him : “O Umar, why are you distributing water in this heat ?”

Hazrat Umar رضي الله عنه  explained : “The thought came to my mind that I am great.” …Considering this a spiritual weakness, he remedied it with humble, menial work. In fact, we will find that such great personalities did not consider it beneath their dignity and rank to do humble, domestic work.

Hazrat Uthman رضي الله عنه  was extremely wealthy and is well known
for his generosity and liberal spending in the path of Allah. Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf, who is one of the Ashara Mubashara [the ten Sahabah رضي الله عنهم  who were given the glad tidings of Jannat] was also one of the wealthiest Sahabah رضي الله عنهم . He was so wealthy, that it is even mentioned in one narration that he emancipated 30 000 families of slaves, besides giving thousands in Sadaqa and in other causes of Deen.

Great, great Auliya Allah thought nothing of themselves, but they will be remembered till the Day of Qiyamat.
