Āmir ibn 'Abdullāh ibn al-Jarrāh RA - (583-638)
--------------------------------------------
(Arabic: أبو عبيدة عامر بن عبدالله بن الجراح), more commonly known as Abū 'Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrāh, was one of the ten companions of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) who were promised Paradise as mentioned in early Islamic historical accounts and records. He remained commander of a large section of Muslim armies during the time of Caliph 'Umar ibn al-Khattab RA and was on the list of 'Umar’s appointed successors to the Caliphate.

Abu 'Ubaidah was born in the year 583 CE in the house of 'Abdullah ibn al-Jarrah, a merchant by profession. Abu 'Ubaidah belonged to the Quraishi clan of Banu al-Harith ibn Fihr. Even before his conversion to Islam, he was considered to be one of the nobles of Quraish and was famous among Quraish of Makkah for his modesty and bravery.

Conversion to Islam
By 611 Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) was preaching the oneness of Allah to the people of Makkah. He began by inviting his closest companions and relatives in secret to the way of Islam. He embraced Islam just a day after Abu Bakr RA in the year 611.

Migration to Abyssinia
Abu 'Ubaidah lived through the harsh experience that the Muslims went through in Makkah from beginning to end. With other early Muslims, he endured the insults and oppressions of Quraysh. As the first emigration to Abyssinia succeeded, this violence against Muslims renewed itself with much conviction and became stronger in its force. Being the only person in his clan to have accepted Islam, Abu Ubaidah was foremost amongst them. Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) suggested that the remaining Muslims who were specially subjected to the atrocities of the people of Makkah migrate as well. Consequently, Abu 'Ubaidah RA migrated to Abyssinia along with a delegation of 83 men and 20 women.

Migration to Medina
In 622 CE, when Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) migrated from Makkah to Medina, Abu Ubaidah also migrated. When Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) arrived in Medina, he paired off each immigrant (Muhajir) with one of the residents of Medina (Ansari), joining Mu'adh ibn Jabal with Abu 'Ubaidah making them brothers in faith. Muslims remained in peace in Medina for about one year before the Quraish raised an army to attack Medina.

During Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)'s era
In the year 624, Abu 'Ubaidah participated in the first major battle between Muslims and the Quraysh of Makkah, that is, the Battle of Badr. In this battle, he was attacked by his father Abdullah ibn al-Jarrah, who was fighting alongside the army of Quraysh. Abu 'Ubaidah avoided fighting with him but eventually his father succeeded in blocking Abu Ubaidah's path. Abu 'Ubaidah then attacked him and killed him. The following verse of the Quran was written about this display of character by Abu 'Ubaidah: read more

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen:

Terwyl die Teoloë en Akademici van ons land se Christelike Kerke, soos Allah wil, al meer skryf oor die feit dat die vergoddeliking van Jesus oor 'n tydperk van jare onstaan het, is die gewone Kerklidmate salig onbewus daarvan dat hulle "saligmaker" toe nou nie so 'n betroubare waarborg tot die Hemel is nie. Die vraag wat Moslems hulleself moet afvra is: "Wat doen ek om te help om my Christen vriende en -kliënte van hierdie tragedie bewus te maak.

Wel, hoekom verwys jy nie net jou vriende na hierdie Webtuiste en Blog toe nie? Mens weet nooit, soos Allah wil...: www.koraninafrikaans.com en: www.letterdash.com/saad"

It is Makruh (undesirable) for all the Muqtadis (followers) to be on a higher place than the Imam unnecessarily. However, if there is some need, for example, there are many people and the place is not sufficient, then in such a case it will not be Makruh. It is also permissible for some Muqtadis to be on the same level as the Imam, and for others to be on a higher place.
