Stories from Islamic History introduces children to Muslims whose exemplary behaviour earned them a place in the annals of our heritage.

Each story highlights an occasion when a person of outstanding character stood up for his faith in Allah. Some tales are from the Sirah while others depict Caliphs, sahabah, martyrs and other pious Muslims. Accounts often focus on critical moments in their lives when they chose to follow the Straight Path rather than take an easier way. These personalities became role models for all time when they adhered to the same Islamic principles that govern our lives today.

Also covers such topics as obligations to parents and teachers, choosing the right company, racial and color equality, purity, modesty, and chastity. Contains end of chapter review questions.

The present book, originally written in fine literary Arabic introduces the Hadith discipline and its development in the early period of Islamic history, up to the production of the six famous anthologies known as the Six Authentic Collections, or al-Sihah al-Sittah. It then tackles the role of Hadith in shaping the social climate in Muslim societies. Together, the two explain the need for Hadith in any Muslim community, and the reliability of its sources. As such, they are useful to most readers, including those who are well versed in the discipline. Abul-Hasan Nadwi shows that without Hadith, no Muslim community can have the sort of social environment that Islam always produces.
