Islamic History - Book Two

The four Rashidun Khulafah, or 'Rightly Guided' Caliphs of Islam, strove tirelessly to establish the new religion after the passing of the Prophet Muhammad ¿. They did this despite rebellions, threats from the great empires of Rome and Persia, false prophets and dissensions. In this eventful account, which is based on sources from traditional Sunni scholars and historians, we build a fascinating and inspiring account of the lives of Abu Bakr as-Siddique, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, 'Uthman ibn Affan and 'Ali ibn Abi Talib who were all extraordinary examples of leadership and excellence of character. Ideal for older children and teenagers and adults, with plenty of full-colour illustrations and original battle maps.
