Circle 3: The Structure of the Companions (ra)

The Prophet (saw) started the da’wah by first conveying to those whom their acceptance of the da’wah was obvious to him regardless of their age, status, gender or race.

Rasulullah (saw) used to culture all those who accepted Islam with shari’ah rules and made them memorize the Qur’an, to the extent that the number of the companions (ra) from the time he was ordained Prophethood to when Allah(swt) ordered him to openly proclaim the da’wah had reached approximately forty individuals majority of them being youths:
