Letters from the Companions

This religion did not reach us on a silver platter, but rather on a platter of toil! It reached us on the bodies of the Companions, pierced by spears and torn apart by swords! It reached us on a river of their blood and mountains of their remains! It reached us with their wealth, their migration, their jihad, and their steadfastness! … These are three hundred letters from the Companions. I chose them to be comprehensive of all aspects of life: relationships and dealings, love, marriage and family, neighbors, work, and friends. I linked them to reality and applied them. These Companions were not reformed by time or place. These are the ones who reformed time and place.
