Description :

An Anecdotal Presentation of the Life and Character of Hadrat Uthman Bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, the Third Caliph in the Order of Rightly-guided Caliphate.

History bears witness to the fact that life accounts of the virtuous people have proved highly curative in bringing a very positive change to ones ordinary life. The present book is nothing more than an effort in the same direction. It is, however, a book with a difference. Rather than presenting the life biography (seerah) of Hadrat Uthman ibn Affan, Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu, in the traditional style of biography, this book gives an anecdotal representation of Hadrat Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him.
