A Debt Owed

This book is a compelling invitation to rediscover the rank, sacrifices, and enduring legacy of the Sahabah radiya Llahu `anhum—the generation chosen by Allah to stand beside His final Messenger salla Llahu `alayhi wa sallam and carry Islam to the world. In this authoritative work, Shaykh Khalil ibn Ibrahim Mulla Khaṭir rahimahu Llah demonstrates, through decisive evidence from the Qur’ān and the authentic Sunnah, that the Sahabah were the finest of this Ummah after the Prophets, uniquely selected to preserve the religion and transmit the Sunnah with integrity and precision.

At a time when faith demanded exile, hunger, persecution, and death, they believed, endured, and prevailed. This translation brings to the English reader a rigorous defence of their honour, while clearly outlining the Ummah’s obligation to love them, respect them, and refrain from any form of disparagement or doubt concerning their integrity.

More than a historical study, this book is a call to the heart and conscience—reminding the reader of the immense debt owed to the Sahabah and urging a return to reverence, gratitude, and sincere following. Carefully researched and firmly grounded, it leaves no doubt that Allah, in His perfect wisdom, chose them to be the Companions of His Prophet salla Llahu `alayhi wa sallam and the guardians of His Dīn.
