Description :



Synopsis: A compilation of stories from the Qur'an, Hadith and other authentic [historical and classical] sources about the necessity of Allah's existence, about the Beloved Prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, the other noble Prophets of Allah, Peace be upon them, and about the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs of Islam, May Allah have mercy upon them.


 
The First part proceeds with the mention of The Lord and Creator; Almighty Allah. These stories illustrate in unequivocal terms the necessity of Allah's existence and the Oneness (tawhid) of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.


The Second section looks at the exemplary and unique character of the Master of the Worlds, Sayyadina wa Mawlana Muhammad Rasool-Allah, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa saabihi wa Sallam. These stories reflect upon the special attributes of the Final Prophet. They highlight the belief (aqeeda) of the 'Ahl al-Sunnah w'al Jama'ah' - (The majority group of People who follow the Sunnah) among others that the Beloved Prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, was created out of a part of the Divine Light (Noor) and that he was the first and best of Creation.


The Third part of this volume looks at the life and times of the other Prophets of Allah the Almighty, alayhis salaam ajma'een. These stories illustrate clearly how the Noble Prophets were sent for guidance to mankind and how they were given special miracles and qualities no-one else in their respective Ummah's had.


The Final section looks at the life and times of the Khulafaa-e-Rashideen, Radi Allahu ta'ala anhum. These stories reflect upon the noble and exemplary characters of Sayyadina Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq, Sayyadina Umar Farooq, Sayyadina Uthman ibn Affan, Sayyadina Ali-e-Murtaza, Radi Allahu ta'ala anhum ajmaeen.


 
This book is divided into Four sections of true stories and incidents. At the end of each story, a reference is given, as well as a short summary or moral to reflect upon, and to highlight the main point again.



What these stories show is that the aqeeda (belief) of the Ahl as-Sunnah w'al Jama'ah today is the same as it was over 1400 years ago.
