The Noble Companion Rifa’a bin Abdul Mundhir Al-Ansari: A Study of His Biography and His Impact on Islamic History
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them in general, and the Ansar in particular, contributed to building the state of the Prophet, peace be upon him, in Medina. They sacrificed themselves, their money, and their children for the sake of spreading this religion and establishing the Islamic state. Academic studies have overlooked the role of the honorable companions in building the Islamic state in Medina. This study is about the life of one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah and his impact on the history of the Prophet’s biography.
The researcher adopted several research methods to uncover some historical facts that may be surrounded by some research ambiguity. In order to achieve the objectives of the study and answer the questions raised, the descriptive method was used, which presents the scientific material, presents it, and arranges it in a way that serves the elements of the research, and the critical method, which is based on the basis for documenting and interpreting historical phenomena, ensuring their authenticity and truthfulness, as well as the analytical approach to information transmitted from sources until the facts are reached.
The study was divided into five sections. The first section deals with his name, surname and lineage. The second section includes his conversion to Islam. The third section is dedicated to his position in the era after hijra. The fourth section handles his scientific role. The fifth section deals with his death.
