MCQ Detailed View

Hazrat Uthman ibn Affan (R.A), one of the earliest and most respected companions of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), accepted Islam at the age of 34. He was among the first individuals to respond to the call of Islam through the efforts of Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A), who invited him to embrace the new faith in its earliest days in Makkah.

Hazrat Uthman (R.A) belonged to the noble Umayyad clan of the Quraysh tribe and was known for his honesty, humility, and generosity even before Islam. His acceptance of Islam at a relatively young age was a crucial development, as he brought with him strong moral character and immense wealth, which he used extensively in service of the Islamic cause.

His early conversion also made him one of the ten companions promised Jannah (Asharah Mubasharah) by the Prophet (ﷺ). Despite facing persecution from his tribe and family, he remained steadfast in his faith and later migrated to Abyssinia and then to Madinah. His support of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Muslim community was continuous, particularly in financial matters, such as funding the expansion of Masjid al-Nabawi and equipping the army during the Battle of Tabuk.
