i wanna be like..

I wanna be like Siti Khadijah, who was a super woman. Great in doing household chores and taking care of her family, a great wife to Prophet Muhammad SAW, as well as being a great businesswoman..totally inspiring.

I wanna be like Aishah binti Abu Bakar who was a great woman and a great wife to the Prophet SAW. She was a bright and intelligent woman and had a formidable memory. She transmitted many hadeeth and even the Companions would ask Aishah on any difficult matters. She was a great teacher and had a very clear and persuasive manner of speech.

I wanna be like Abu Bakar, who was a mild and gentle person but stern when necessary. Known as As-Siddiq. A great leader and a great companion to the Prophet SAW. And, one of his good deeds are as much as the stars in the sky. MashaAllah!

I wanna be like Umar Al-Khattab who was a strong, courageous and fearless man before and after accepting Islam. He was known as Al-Farouq and his power and strength had help Islam to stand against the musyrikin. His faith is so strong that even the shaytan will walk the other road if they see him. When he passed away, Ibn Mas'ud said nine-tenth of all knowledge vanished with him. That knowledge is the knowledge on Allah.

I wanna be like Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud who knew about the Qur'an more than anyone else. Allah has given him the talent to recite and understand the Qur'an to the extent that the Prophet directed his Companions to follow his example. He was also a brave man. He was the first person to recite the Qur'an aloud to the Quraish.

I wanna be like Uthman bin 'Affan who was a wealthy man. He was a generous and extremely kindhearted man and looked upon his wealth as a means of helping others. He was also the first person to give up his hearth and home for the cause of Allah. Tears used to roll down his face because of his fear of Allah and he was a strict follower of the sunnah of the Prophet.

I wanna be like Mus'ab bin Umayr who stay firm in his faith even though his mother stand against him. Whose faith and good personality had helped in the spreading of Islam in Madinah. He gave up his luxury and wealthy life in the cause of Allah.

I wanna be like Ali bin Abi Talib who was very brave to sleep in the place of the Prophet during the migration to Madinah. He was the hero of many battle fought in the lifetime of the Prophet SAW. He was a good judge too and the other three caliph agreed he was the best among them.

These are one of the many role models that I look up to. Reading their stories amazed me and there are still lots of other stories of the Companions that I haven't read yet.

What about you? ^______^
