Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah
Abdul Basit Ahmad
The Prophet Muhammad (S) publicly named ten men who he himself
guaranteed would be in Paradise in the hereafter. One of these fortunate
men was Abu 'Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah (R). He was one of amongst who
accept Islam in its early days in Makkah. He took part in the migrations
to Ethiopia and Al-Madinah, for the sake of preserving his faith. He
fought in all the major battles of Islam and spent most of his life as a
soldier fighting for the cause of Islam. He even killed his own father
in battle when his father vowed to slay him for accepting Islam.
Praising his character, the Prophet(S) said:
"Every Ummah has a trustworthy man; Abu 'Ubaidah is the trustworthy man
of this Ummah."
