Description

This book depicts sixty of most extraordinary men the world has ever seen. These Sahaba or Companions of the Prophet changed the course of human history with their undying faith, sincerity and brotherhood. The book presents such heroic figures as Mu'adh ibn Jabal whose judgement was trusted by the Prophet (S) himself and Qais ibn Saad whose cleverness was unmatched. The character of each man and the way he would interact with others described in moving accounts define manhood itself. An invaluable book for presenting role models to young people. While reading this book, we cannot help but be moved by the lives of the Companions herein depicted. How we long to have their awe and reverence for Allah! How we long to spend the same hours in worship as they! How we long to be as brave as they were in the face of danger! How we long to be as patient as they were under torture! This book fulfills the need for the English-speaking Muslim to learn more about that first generation of Muslims. Indeed the Companions -- the men and women who were contemporaries with the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) -- inspire and encourage us. Read these stories and share them with your children, for these Companions are a part of our Islamic heritage that will, Allah willing, strengthen us as a nation if we try to follow their examples.
