"If I lived in the time of the Prophet Muhamed as time I would be a better Muslim!" How do you know? You could have lived during that time & ended up like Abu Lahab? Or other enemies of the Prophet a.s. Not everyone became Abu Bakr r.a. & Omar r.a but we have a reward of 50 companions !! If we follow the steps of our Prophet a.s without having seen him. He cried for us & called us " his brothers & sisters" Sallalahu alayhi was salam. He spent nights crying in prayer, for us. :(
