About This Book:
Maulvi Abdul Aziz's four-volume classic, "The History of Islam (Four Rightly Guided Caliphs)," immerses readers in the captivating stories of Islam's first four caliphs. These books take us to the period between the death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the rise of the Umayyad kingdom.
1. Abu Bakr As Siddiq the First of the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs:
Our trip begins in the first volume with the life of the first caliph, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq. Abu Bakr, revered for his close friendship with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was instrumental in the early spread of Islam. His administration was characterized by shrewdness and fairness, firmly establishing him as one of the renowned "Rightly Guided Caliphs."
2. Umar IBN Al Khattab the Second of the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs:
Umar's steady and strong leadership guided the Islamic world to unparalleled growth. He is remembered for his administrative improvements, such as codifying Islamic doctrine and establishing a systematic revenue system.
3. Uthman IBN Affan the Third of the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs:
The third volume immerses readers in the life of Uthman ibn Affan, the third caliph. Uthman, a wealthy businessman known for his compassion and piety, became embroiled in a scandal owing to alleged partiality. Tragically, this turbulent period ended with his tragic death at the hands of rebel elements.
4. ALI IBN ABI Taalib the Last of the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs:
Many considered Ali to be the appropriate successor because to his strong familial links to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), but his leadership faced a stiff challenge from Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan, who claimed the caliphate. This conflict was a watershed moment in Islamic history."
