Was not Ebubecher the first to embrace the faith? Was not Omar the brave champion of the Mahometan religion against the Christians? Was not the one who organized and distinguished the chapters of the Alchoran—the sacred text—the wisest among men? Was not Halt the brave and learned bearer of the Zulfsay, the “Sword with two points”? Were not Imam Hajjan and Imam Husein martyrs of the faith in the deserts of Kerlela?
These early figures set the foundation of the religion through courage, learning, and devotion. They are remembered for their service to God and the Prophet, for defending the faith, and for guiding others in law, prayer, and moral life Daily Ephesus Tours.
The Warning of Predestination
Mobomet himself said to Halt: “For your sake, there are two types of people predestined to Hell—one that loves you and one that does not.” This shows the importance of loyalty, good conduct, and proper devotion to the family of the Prophet. Those who claim the red turban, yet live wickedly and disregard the teachings of the Prophet, are condemned. Their actions, words, and moral choices separate them from the true followers of the faith.
Respect for the Prophet’s Friends
Christians honor the relics of Christ, such as the house He lived in or the objects He touched, placing them in cases of gold and silver. They treat these relics with great reverence, believing that contact with them is a blessing.
Yet, those who claim to be disciples of the Prophet of God, and who descend from the family of His closest companions, often act in the opposite manner. Instead of showing respect, they curse and blaspheme against these holy friends of the Prophet immediately after prayer, even though the Ezan calls people to worship. Such behavior dishonors both the Prophet and the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for the faith.
The early leaders of the faith were models of courage, devotion, and moral life. True followers are expected to honor these examples, to respect the family of the Prophet, and to avoid curses and blasphemies. Those who fail in these duties, while claiming the title of red turbans or disciples, undermine the faith they profess and bring shame upon themselves. True devotion requires both correct belief and proper conduct in daily life.
