Al-Rashidun: The Way of the Rightly Guided

Book on the four Rightly Guided Caliphs (al-Rashidun), collecting their teachings, words, actions, lives and deaths. Hardcover, by Ilm Forum, for readers aged 16+.

The legacy of the Messenger of Allah is attested to by the greatness of his students, the Ṣaḥābah, and most of all by his four successors, the Rightly Guided Caliphs. His words and deeds have reached us across the centuries and still inspire billions. These men were charged with carrying his teachings to others, and within one short century they spread them across the world.

This book collects the teachings of these four men: their words and their actions, how they lived and how they died. Each was a giant upon whose shoulders scholars and sages, orators and leaders, warriors and heroes, ascetics and mystics in every age of this Ummah have built their places in history. Each 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.
