Sahaba: Lives of Companions

What's inside

Out of the footnotes, into your hands

Fifty-one companions of the Prophet ﷺ — each told as a full story rather than a paragraph of dates. Where they came from, how Islam reached them, what it cost them, and how their story ended.

Every life, told in order

Each profile unfolds chronologically, section by section. Read how Bilal (RA) endured the rock in the desert, and how Khadijah (RA) tested Al-Amin with a caravan before trusting him with her heart.

Hand-lettered emblems

Every companion carries a unique calligraphic roundel of their name — gold on deep green, drawn from the calligraphy of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi — on every screen, from profiles to widgets.

Reflections that stay

Each story closes with short reflections — what this life asks of ours. Save the ones that strike you and return to them anytime.

Home screen widgets

Meet a Companion of the Day and carry a Daily Reflection on your home screen — a small, steady connection to the first generation.

Honest with the sources

The stories are drawn from the classical sirah and hadith literature. Where a narration is weak or disputed, the app says so plainly rather than presenting it as certainty — love for these people, built on what can actually be known.

Private by design

Sahaba works completely offline. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads, no data collected — nothing between you and the stories.
