Sahabah

In Islam, the Ṣaḥābah were the companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Quotes The vanguard (of Islam)- the first of those who forsook (their homes) and of those who gave them aid, and (also) those who follow them in (all) good deeds,- well-pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him: for them hath He prepared gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that is the supreme felicity. Qur'an, Al Tawba 9:100, Yusuf Ali. All the political, economic, administrative, and scientific issues of our times were unknown to the Prophet's companions. They did not sit on chairs in front of cameras, they had no media, no satellite TV. Does this prove that we are not allowed to use them? The fact that something did not exist in the past does not mean that it is forbidden.
