The Best in Jahiliyah become the Best in Islam

Throughout history and even in our communities today we see those select few who have surpassed others in greatness. We see those who go above and beyond and they achieve what most people think is impossible. We look at those people and we recognize that they are the best of us. We celebrate their achievements and benefit greatly from their efforts! The quintessential example of this is the great companion and knight of Islam, Khalid ibn al-Walid! When we visit the story of Khalid, we recognize the signs of his greatness even before he accepted Islam. We start to realize why the Messenger said “The best of you in the days of ignorance are the best of you in Islam”.
