(Redirected from Timing of Sahaba becoming muslims)
Among Muslim, the 'timing of Sahaba becoming Muslims' is of importance. Because Muhammad was not a Sahaba, he is not included.
After the Muslim conquests began, a Muslim's standing in the Islamic state depended on his services to the community, and especially on the length of time he had been a member of the community. Early converts (who had faced persecution with Muhammad) had a much higher status than later converts (who may have joined only after there were worldly reasons to do so). The first male convert may thus be presumed to have a special status.
To highlight the importance that was attached, one can see the controversies regarding the Identity of first male Muslim. Also, except for the Sahaba that merited extraordinary accomplishments, Sunni rank all Sahaba according to their time Timing becoming Muslims [1].
Here is a list of the chronological order of them becoming Muslims. Sources are provided in the article of each Sahaba.
