Publisher's Synopsis
This is an inspiring biography based on the teachings of Ibn Katheer, At-Tabari, As-Suyuti, Dr. Ali Muhammad al-Sallabi, and other Scholars (Allah have mercy on them). To this day, the biographies of the four rightly Caliphs are among the most important sources of authentic Islamic knowledge. The foundations of Islamic knowledge are undoubtedly the Quran and the Sunnah. Next comes the lives of the rightly guided Caliphs - Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali (Allah be pleased with them).Particularly in the troubled times that we live in, there is an urgent need for Muslims to learn about the virtues and noble qualities of the Prophet's Companions and the impact the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) direct teaching methods had on their lives.Without a doubt, the most important figure in Islam is the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), whose every action and every saying gives Muslims an important lesson. Next in importance is Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him), who, due to his lifelong friendship with the Prophet, developed noble qualities that all Muslims should imitate.
