The Best Companion –
When the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and Abu Bakr Siddique, may Allah be pleased with him, sought refuge in the cave of Mount Thawr during their migration to Medina, they were pursued by the non-Muslims of Mecca determined to kill the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. The non-Muslims of Mecca eventually reached the cave where they were hiding. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, observed that if the non-Muslims were too look down at their feet they would see both him and the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, hiding in the cave. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, made it clear that he was not worried about his own safety, rather he was fearful something would happen to the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. At this the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised him that he should not grieve as Allah, the Exalted, was their third Companion. This has been discussed in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 3922 and in Ibn Kathir’s, the Life of the Prophet, Volume 2, Pages 159-160. Chapter 9 At Tawbah, verse 40:
“…when they were in the cave and he [i.e., the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him] said to his companion, “Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us.”…”
In a divine Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 7405, Allah, the Exalted, advises that He is with anyone who remembers Him.
With the rise of mental problems and disorders, such as depression, it is vital for muslims to understand the importance of this declaration. There is a small chance of a person experiencing a mental issue when they are constantly surrounded and aided by someone that truly loves them. If this is true for a person it is undoubtedly more befitting for Allah, the Exalted, who has promised to be with the one who remembers Him. Acting on this declaration alone would eliminate mental issues, such as depression. It is the reason why being secluded from others or being amongst others did not affect the mental state of the righteous predecessors as they were always in the company of Allah, the Exalted. It is obvious that when one obtains the company of Allah, the Exalted, they will overcome all obstacles and difficulties successfully until they reach His proximity in the hereafter.
In addition, out of His infinite mercy Allah, the Exalted, has not restricted this declaration in any way. For example, He did not declare He was only with the righteous or with those who perform specific good deeds. He in fact, encompassed every muslim irrespective of the strength of their faith or how many sins they have committed. Therefore, a muslim should never lose hope in the mercy of Allah, the Exalted. But it is important to note the condition mentioned in this Hadith namely, to remember Allah, the Exalted. This remembrance includes correcting one’s intention so that they only act to please Allah, the Exalted, and therefore do not expect nor hope for any gratitude from people. Remembrance with the tongue involves speaking what is good or remaining silent. And the highest level of remembrance is to use the blessings one has been granted in ways pleasing to Allah, the Exalted, as outlined in the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. This is the true remembrance of Allah, the Exalted. The one who behaves in such a manner will be blessed with the company and support of Allah, the Exalted.
Simply put, the more one obeys and remembers Allah, the Exalted, the more they will receive His company. What one gives is what they shall receive.
