7 Companions of the Prophet Who First Embraced Islam and Their Inspiring Stories

In the early days of Islamic preaching, a group of people became known as As-Sabiqunal Awwalun, meaning the first to embrace Islam. They included Siti Khadijah RA, the Prophet's wife, who was the first to accept his message, along with seven main companions: Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqash, Zaid ibn Harithah, Uthman ibn Affan, Zubair ibn Awwam, and Talhah ibn Ubaidillah. Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq was the first adult male to embrace Islam, given the title Ash-Shiddiq because he confirmed the Isra Miraj. Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, entered Islam at the age of 10. Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqash embraced Islam at 20 after being invited by Abu Bakr, despite his family's opposition. Zaid ibn Harithah was the first slave to embrace Islam and was later freed by the Prophet. Uthman ibn Affan entered Islam early in the preaching, even though his tribe, the Banu Umayyah, opposed it. Zubair ibn Awwam, the Prophet's cousin, embraced Islam at 15 and was known as a brave warrior. Talhah ibn Ubaidillah shielded the Prophet with his body at the Battle of Uhud. https://mozaik.inilah.com/dakwah/7-sahabat-nabi-yang-pertama-masuk-islam-beserta-kisah-singkatnya
