Hazrat Usman R.A Great Services to Islam

 Great Services to Islam

Hazrat Usman (R.A) committed his entire life in the way of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ that is why he accepted Islam in the times when his family was in command of Qureysh, yet he chose the Right Path opposed to their wishes.

He served the Religion of Peace in many ways such as:

1. Participated in nearly every battle against disbelievers along with Rasulullah ﷺ except in Badr
2. Bought a well named “bi’r-i-Rumah” from a Madinan Jew for 20,000 Dirhams and made it free to use for Muhajireen e Makkah, who had no water to drink at that time
3. Also purchased a portion of land in order to increase the capacity of Masjid e Nabawi
4. He was a Leading Person in “Sulah e Hudaibiya” (the Peace Treaty of Hudaibiya) in the 6th year of Migration. When false news came out that he was martyred by Makkans, the Holy Prophet ﷺ took an oath to take Usman Ghani`s (R.A) revenge. Such was his great rank near the Messenger ﷺ of Allah that He (PBUH) considered His left hand as that of Usman`s (R.A) and combined it with His right hand and took a promise known as known as“Bai’at al-Ridwan” (the Pledge of Ridwan) in front of remaining companions.
5. Helped in strengthening of the Muslim Army at the expedition of Tabuk by giving gold coins, horses and camels, which earned him the great respect of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, Who said:

“From this day on nothing will harm ‘Uthman regardless of what he does.” (Tirmidhi)

It means Rasulullah ﷺ had declared Hazrat Usman (R.A) as one the upright Muslims because of his selflessness and great service to Islam.
