Al-Rashidun – The Way of the Rightly Guided Caliphs | Islamic History Book on Khulafa al-Rashideen

A powerful Islamic history book exploring the lives, leadership, and legacy of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs after Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

From Author:

The legacy of the greatest teacher the world has known, the greatest man to ever walk the Earth, the Messenger of Allah, is attested to by the greatness of his students: the Ṣaḥābah. None more so than his four successors, the four men famed as the Rightly Guided Caliphs. The Blessed Prophet’s words and deeds have reached us from across the centuries and still inspire billions. It was these men who were charged with carrying those teachings to others, and within one short century spread them across the breadth of the world.


This book collects the teachings of these great men; their words and their actions; how they lived and how they died. Each of them was a giant upon whose shoulders the great scholars and sages; the orators and leaders; the warriors and heroes; the ascetics and mystics in every age of this Ummah have built their places in the halls of history. Each of them was shaped for greatness by the blessed hands of the Beloved in a singular and unique manner. Together, they built a community, an empire, and a legacy that shall inspire this Ummah until the end of time.

Introduction
Adrift upon a storm-wracked sea of trials and doubts, in the long black night of a world without an Islamic caliphate, the wmmah is confronted on all sides by mountainous wave after wave of test after test. Amongst it all, we look for hope, a light to lead us all once more to harbours safe, at which to moor and anchor ourselves against the tides and currents of the times, whichever seek to sweep us away. We shall only find it, as every generation of this Ummah ever has, in the great formative Stories of the beginning of Islam.
For, too often, when we look to the celebrated scholars and academic sag- es of our time, and make them our heroes and models for success, we set our-
selves up for heartbreak. Rarely in this age of ours do we find a guide who does not in some way fall short. Gazed upon from afar on the high pedestals of awe we have fashioned for them, they seem like the titans of old. Up close, we see them for what they are: as human as the rest of us, as much the victims of the vices of the time, and as equally prey to the world's temptations as we are. Many a celebrity scholar has found himself ensnared in scandal, his private vices made public and laid bare for all to see. Positions of trust are abused to sate an ego's lusts. Heterodox stances are taken simply for the sake of standing out. Even great minds become mired in petty politics or fall foul of the liberal zeitgeist of our age. Meanwhile, great scholars of the past are targeted without shame, for the sake of sheer spectacle, or to make a show of being an equal to gain stature and fame. As the old saying goes, "If you wish to make a name for yourself, find a person of note and start a fight with him.
