A special title was given to one of the closest companions of the Prophet — a title of deep trust.

Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah (RA) was known as Ameen–ul–Umat, which means “The Trustee of the Muslim Nation.” The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) gave him this title because of his honesty, trustworthiness, and strong character.

He was among the ten companions promised Paradise and played key roles in many battles. Despite his bravery and leadership, he remained humble and truthful. He was also chosen as a commander during the time of Caliph Umar (RA).

His character made him one of the most respected companions. He never chased leadership, but leadership naturally came to him because of his qualities.

The title Ameen-ul-Umat is still remembered today to honor his trust and service to Islam.
