Abuzar al-Ghaffari By Ahmad Loqmani Abuzar was a truthful, strong and pious disciple, who from the outset of his conversion to Islam till the last moment of his life, didnt stray from the Path of Truth. He fought against oppression and fully supported Prophethood and Vilayah and was among the first people to convert to Islam. In fact, he was the 4th or 5th person to become Muslim and because of this he is considered among the most eminent in Islam.” 1 He was the first person in Mecca to make his conversion public and with his distinct manner aired his belief in the ‘Oneness of Allah near to the Holy Ka’ba.2 The Messenger of God (SAW) praised Abuzar and said to him: May Allah bless you, O Abuzar! Truly, you live alone, die alone, rise alone and enter heaven alone! Fortunate and amongst the delivered are those who will attend the ceremonial washing of your body after your death and your burial. The sky has cast no shadow and the earth received not one more truthful than you
