COMPANIONSHIP OF THE PROPHET

Prophet were blessed with the physical companionship of the Prophet. Believers in later times can be blessed with spiritual or psychological companionship, provided they fulfill the necessary conditions for this— and that is deep psychological compatibility with the Prophet. Companionship is not necessarily about being physically present with someone. It depends entirely on psychological compatibility. In the early period of Islam, among those who accepted Islam were some who had psychological compatibility with the Prophet. They drew great benefit from his company. And those who did not have psychological compatibility with him remained deprived of the benefit of his presence, despite being physically present near him. The difference between the true Companions of the Prophet and the hypocrites was based precisely on this. The true Companions of the Prophet had psychological compatibility with the Prophet. That is why they were able to fully benefit from his company. On the other hand, the hypocrites did not have this psychological compatibility with the Prophet. And, that is why despite being physically present near the Prophet, they remained deprived of the benefit of his company. o Law Of Nature It is a law of nature that the quantum of scope for success is more than the quantum of failure. No failure can stop one's journey, provided one maintains positivity. It is one's positive thinking that matters and not the negative experiences.
