Publisher's Synopsis
This is the fourth Caliph of Islam, but he is the first to remember from among all the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad as far as bravery is concerned. This book brings to life the biography of this unique hero of Islam, the gallant lion of the fields, the standard-bearer of the heroes, and the pir, or spiritual guide, of believers. It thoroughly analyses where and how he was raised, the dynamics that formed his personality and what sort of a future destiny lay in store for him. His life has a lot to offer us today, presenting us with many examples and experiences that we can carry into our own social lives.
