Asslamoalaikum, sisters brothers and friends we are discribing biography of Sahabierasool HAZRAT UBAADAH IBN AS–SAAMIT
(A Representative in Allah's Party )!

As one of the Ansaar he was mentioned in the Prophet's words "If theAnsaar chose to move in a certain direction, I would follow them. By Allah,if there had been no emigration, I would have chosen to be one of the Ansaar."`Ubaadah Ibn As-saamit was not only one of the Ansaar, but also one of theirreknown leaders whom the Prophet (PBUH) chose to represent their peopleand tribes. When the first Ansaar delegation arrived at Makkah to make theoath of allegiance to the Prophet (PBUH), Ubaadah (May Allah be pleasedwith him) was one of the 12 believers who pledged allegiance to the Prophet(PBUH), embraced Islam, and clasped the Prophet's hand in support and loyalty!In the Second Pledge of Al `Aqabah, `Ubaadah was one of the leaders of the70 men and two women and also one of the representatives of the Ansaar whogave his pledge to the Prophet (PBUH) during the Hajj season.

Ever since, Ubaadah never missed a battle or fell short of a sacrifice, as the arena at that time offered a kaleidoscope of self- sacrifice, valor, courage, and defiance. Since he chose Allah and His Prophet, he exerted himself to fulfill his obligations towards his religion. Therefore, his loyalty and obedience to Allah and his relationship with his relatives, allies, and enemies were all molded in a way so as to be compatible with the faith and conduct that a Muslim should have.

In the past, `Ubaadah's family had been tied in alliance with the Jews of Bani Qainuqaa' in Al- Madiinah. Since the Prophet and his Companions emigrated to Al-Madiinah, the Jews pretended to be on good terms with them; but after the Battle of Badr and a little while before the Battle of Uhud the Jews of Al- Madiinah began to show their true colors. Consequently, one of the Jewish tribes, Bani Qainuqaa', fabricated reasons for commotion and strife against the Muslims.

As soon as `Ubaadah realized their real intention, he decidedly threwaside their ancient treaty and said, "I take Allah, His Prophet, and thosewho have believed in Him as my protectors." The Qur'aan descended on theProphet (PBUH) to support, salute, and praise `Ubaadah's loyal and steadfastattitude saying, " And whosoever takes Allah, His Messenger, and those whohave believed as Protectors, then the party of Allah will be victorious"(5: 56).

Thus, the glorious verse announced the establishment of Allah's party, the members of which were the believers who stood firm by the Prophet's side and advocated the banner of right guidance and truth.
They were regarded as the blessed blossom of the seed sown by their predecessors, who did their utmost to support their Messenger and invite people to believe in Allah the Ever-Living, the One Who Sustains and Protects all that exists. This newly born party of Allah would not only include the Companions ofthe Prophet, but also encompass the true believers of all future generationsand times until Allah inherits the earth and whatever is with Him.

`Ubaadah, whose loyal and faithful attitude the verse praised, was not only a representative of the Al-Khazraj tribe, but was also one of the leaders of the pious and righteous Muslims who would always be looked upon by future generations throughout the world as a symbol of chivalry and discipline. His immortal history will forever resound throughout the world.

One day `Ubaadah heard the Prophet talking about the responsibilitiesand obligations of commanders and governors and the punishment that awaitedany one of them who abused his authority and manipulated the money entrusted to him. His words shook him so severely that he swore never to accept command, even over two people. He kept this oath. When the Commander of the Faithful `Umar Ibn Al- Khattaab (May Allah be pleased with him) became the caliph, he could not prevail on `Ubaadah to accept any influential position except educating and instructing people in Islamic religion. Indeed, this was the appropriate field for `Ubaadah, away from influential positions that might jeopardize his faith with precarious arrogance, power, and wealth.
