By Ibn Katheer, At-Tabari, As-Syooti and Other Historians. Biographies Of The Rightly-Guided Caliphs [Sirat-Ul Khulafa]. The four Rightly guided Caliphs Abu Bakr As-Sideeq, Umar ibn Al-Khattaab, Uthmaan Ibn ‘Affaan and Ali Ibn Abi Taalib. The Biography of Umar Ibn Abdel-Azeez who is regarded as one of the Rightly Guided Khaliphs is also included in this book.
It is with great pleasure and pride that we present The Four Righteous Caliphs to our readers hoping that it will prove of some interest and use to them. Needless to say, compiling the life histories of the leading figures in Islamic history was by no means an easy job. Every care has been taken to include aspects of their
characters and situations in their lives that are of particular significance to readers. We therefore invite every reader of the book to step outside the present realms of time and space and to prepare to encounter people, the likes of whom the world has no longer known since their demise. The book is indeed a trip into a world of absolute virtue, genuine unshaken faith as well as admirable fear of Allah. A reader can only marvel at those unique Muslims who deservedly merited Allah’s satisfaction and handsome reward. We pray that readers will come to enjoy reading the book and also be able to benefit from it, leaving no
chance for enemies of Islam to attempt to dig holes in our venerable Islamic history.
