Rightful Companionship

وَمَنۡ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ فَاُولٰٓئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَنۡعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ وَالصِّدِّيۡقِيۡنَ وَالشُّهَدَآءِ وَالصّٰلِحِيۡنَ‌ ۚ وَحَسُنَ اُولٰٓئِكَ رَفِيۡقًا

جو اللہ اور رسول کی اطاعت کرے گا وہ ان لوگوں کے ساتھ ہوگا جن پر اللہ نے انعام فرمایا ہے یعنی انبیا٫ اور صدیقین اور شہدا٫ اور صالحین کیسے اچھے ہیں یہ رفیق جو کسی کو میسر آئیں

And he who obeys Allah and the Messenger -they shall be with those whom Allah has favoured -the Prophets, those steadfast in truthfulness, the martyrs, and the righteous." How excellent will they be for companions! [4:69]

Obedience to Allah and His Messenger and it’s benefits in this world and its fruits on the Day of Judgment.

The good news of the rewards of this world and the hereafter has been given to those who consider the decisions and decrees of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) absolutely worthy of following in every area of life and leading to salvation.

Attainment of goodness in all respects in the world. Tawfiq of steadfastness in faith. With the guidance of the straight path and the success on the Day of Judgement, righteous people will be blessed with the companionship of the great Prophets, Siddiq, martyrs and righteous people.

 In fact, four types of ranks and positions have been mentioned here with reference to four personalities. Maybe people in heaven will be classified according to these four ranks. If a man tries, he can attain the three ranks to some extent. Among them is to become Siddiq, attaining the status of martyrdom and having a righteous character. As far as the status and place of prophethood is concerned, it is not through actions but rather by Allah's own choice. He can choose whomever he wants for his message and this chain has also reached the end on the person of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

A Siddique means a person who is very righteous, who has the highest level of honesty and righteousness, who always adopts a straight and clear approach in his affairs and behavior, when he supports, he supports the truth and justice only. Give with a sincere heart, and stand firm against what you find against the truth and do not show any weakness. Whose character is so clean and selfless that neither he nor anyone else fears any behavior other than pure uprightness from him.

Shahid literally means witness. It refers to a person who testifies to the authenticity of his faith by the whole conduct of his life. A person who gives his life fighting in the cause of Allah is also called a martyr for the same reason that he proves by giving his life that he truly believed in what he believed in and loved it so much that he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for it. Such righteous people are also called martyrs who are so reliable that the truth of what they testify is accepted without hesitation.

Salih refers to a person who is on the right path in his thoughts and beliefs, in his intentions, in his words & actions and in general has a good attitude in his life.

The person is lucky who has such people for companionship in this world and who will end up with such people in the hereafter as well. If a person's feelings are dead, it is a different matter, otherwise, in fact, living with people of bad character is a grievous punishment in this world, where in the hereafter, a person will face the same fate that is destined for them. That is why the good servants of Allah Ta'ala have always wished to be blessed with the society of good people and to be with good people even after death.
