They were the best generation of humans to walk this earth. But they were still men and women, rich and poor, slave and freemen. What is it that made them so great?

In this Double-Weekend-Degree seminar, Dr. Reda Bedeir will take us on a journey through the lives of companions of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam - from their spiritual journeys to life-changing lessons.

This seminar will enlighten you with:

• Knowledge of the categories and classifications of the sahabah
• Their status in light of Islam
• An explanation of the meaning of "Ahl ul-Bayt."
• The correct opinion on the rights and status of the Ahl ul-Bayt
• How we – as Muslims living in the modern era - can learn to emulate the example of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam and his beloved Companions.

It is said that the Arabs during the age of jahiliyah were among the most ignorant and corrupt of mankind. They killed their daughters, beat their slaves, and treated each other unjustly. But then came Islam and with it came a transformation of hearts and minds. Their entire society, indeed, the whole of mankind, has benefited as a result of their faith. What can you learn from the lives of these great Companions that will inspire similar changes in your life and the lives of those you love?

By the end of the class students will:

• Learn the conditions and categories of what makes a Sahabi
•  Understand the special status and rights of the Sahabah
• Appreciate the sacrifices of the Companions to spread Islam
• Understand the approach of the Sahabah to solving the social, economic, and religious challenges they faced
• Understand the correct status of the Ahl ul-Bayt in the Aqeedah of Ahl al-Sunnah wa Jama’ah
• Beautify your character by learning and implementing the characteristics of the Sahabah in your life
