Q & A

What does ‘Radhi Allah’ mean, and who holds that station?

Foundations of Faith

The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ reached the ultimate station, Radhi Allah, which means that Allah is pleased with them. Purifying is the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, carried on by the Companions, and being purified is the Sunnah of the Companions.

The station of Radhi Allah only belongs to the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, even if they spent a few moments in his blessed company, and besides them no one can attain that station.

As mentioned in the Qur'an: "And the first forerunners among the Migrants and the Helpers and those who followed them with good conduct, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment." [Qur'an, at-Tawbah 9:100]
