The Rashidun Caliphs are the eminent stars of the Holy Prophet who led Muslims not just physically but also spiritually. The policies and rules they implemented in their respective eras were the true reflection of the teachings of the Holy Prophet. This is why the Rashidun era was the golden era of the Muslims. Implementing the teachings of Prophet Mohammad, made them not only the pioneers in introducing the concept of the welfare state, but they also set its exemplary foundation for the world to follow. This book is unique because unlike other history books it provides proofs of Imam Hassan as the fifth rightly guided Caliph. The end of Rashidun Caliphate was the beginning of downfall of Muslims because the Muslims let go the spiritual values of Prophet Mohammad given to them by the Rashidun Caliphs. The author, Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman in an unbiased manner and picturesque words has described the incidents from history for the readers to decide for themselves who was at fault and what caused the end of Rashidun Caliphate. He has also mentioned the spiritual orders that emerged from each rightly guided Caliph. These spiritual orders are definitely a medium of guidance for the seekers of Allah. #sultanulfaqrpublications @sultanulashiqeenbooks #therashiduncaliphate #khulfarashideen #englishbooks #biographyofkhulfarashieen #rashiduncaliphs #rashiduncaliphate #abubakrsiddiq #umarfarooq #umaribnkhattab #usmanibnaffan #aliibnabitalib #hazratali #hazratusman #hazratumar #hazratabubakr

He also highlights the Islamic reinterpretation of biblical traditions.

Parable and Politics in Early Islamic History

Tensions Among The Prophet's HouseholdAbu Rafi' (rA) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said to 'Ali, "There will be an issue between you and 'Aisha." He said, "Me, O Messenger of Allah?!" He said, "Yes." He said, "Me?!" He said, "Yes." He said, "Then [in that case] I would be the worst of them (all people)." He said, "No, but when this occurs, return her to her safe quarters."] Just prior to her clash with 'Ali (rA), when 'Aisha (rA) heard dogs barking near Basra at a place called Haw'ab, she said, "Perhaps I must return home, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us (his wives), 'Which one of you will be barked at by the dogs of Haw'ab?'"Hopeful that her presence would effect a resolution, and that this was only a prophecy and not a prohibition, 'Aisha (rA) decided not to abort her journey.

Cultural Life in Al-Kufa During Rashidun and Umayyad Ages

Kalifat Rashidun charakteryzuje się dwudziestopięcioletnim okresem szybkiej ekspansji wojskowej, a następnie pięcioletnim okresem wewnętrznych konfliktów. Armia Rashidun u szczytu liczyła ponad 100 000 ludzi. W latach sześćdziesiątych kalifat oprócz Półwyspu Arabskiego ujarzmił Lewant na Zakaukaziu na północy; Afryka Północna od Egiptu po dzisiejszą Tunezję na zachodzie; oraz płaskowyż irański do części Azji Środkowej i Azji Południowej na wschodzie. Abbasyd Kalifat był trzecim kalifatem islamskim, który zastąpił islamskiego proroka Mahometa. Został założony przez dynastię wywodzącą się od wuja Mahometa, Abbasa ibna Abdula-Muttaliba (566–653 n.e.), od którego pochodzi nazwa dynastii. Rządzili kalifami przez większość kalifatu ze stolicy w Bagdadzie we współczesnym Iraku, po obaleniu kalifatu Umajjadów w rewolucji Abbasydówz 750 roku n.e. (132 AH).

Islam: od Rashidun do kalifatu Abbasydów

The Rashidun Caliphates (Rightly Guided Caliphs; Arabic: الخلفاء الراشدون al-Khulafāʾu ar-Rāshidūn), often simply called, collectively, "the Rashidun", are the spiritual and political successors to the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Sunni jurisprudence of Islam, refers to the 30-year reign (632-661) of the first four caliphs (successors) following the death of Muhammad, namely: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman ibn Affan, and Ali of the Rashidun Caliphate, the first caliphate.

The Rightly Guided Caliphs Book ( كتاب الخلفاء الراشدون )

The Prophet and the Age of Caliphates is an accessible history of the Near East from c.600-1050AD, the period in which Islamic society was formed. Beginning with the life of Muhammad and the birth of Islam, Hugh Kennedy goes on to explore the great Arab conquests of the seventh century and the golden age of the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates when the world of Islam was politically and culturally far more developed than the West. The arrival of the Seljuk Turks and the period of political fragmentation which followed shattered this early unity, never to be recovered. This new edition is fully updated to take into account the considerable amount of new research on early Islam, and contains a completely revised bibliography. Based on extensive reading of the original Arabic sources, Kennedy breaks away from the Orientalist tradition of seeing early Islamic history as a series of ephemeral rulers and pointless battles by drawing attention to underlying long term social and economic processes. The Prophet and the Age of Caliphates deals with issues of continuing and increasing relevance in the twenty-first century, when it is, perhaps, more important than ever to understand the early development of the Islamic world. Students and scholars of early Islamic history will find this book a clear, informative and readable introduction to the subject.

The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates

Christophe Picard recounts the adventures of Muslim sailors who competed with Greek and Latin seamen for control of the 7th-century Mediterranean. By the time Christian powers took over trade routes in the 13th century, a Muslim identity that operated within, and in opposition to, Europe had been shaped by encounters across the sea of the caliphs.

Sea of the Caliphs

Chronicles the history of Islam from the birth of Mohammed to the independence of former Soviet Muslim States, covering a wide variety of themes, including philosophy, arts, and architecture.

Historical Atlas of Islam

This endlessly informative history brings the classical Islamic world to lifeIn this accessibly written history, Amira K. Bennison contradicts the common assumption that Islam somehow interrupted the smooth flow of Western civilization from its Graeco-Roman origins to its more recent European and American manifestations. Instead, she places Islamic civilization in the longer trajectory of Mediterranean civilizations and sees the ‘Abbasid Empire (750–1258 CE) as the inheritor and interpreter of Graeco-Roman traditions.At its zenith the ‘Abbasid caliphate stretched over the entire Middle East and part of North Africa, and influenced Islamic regimes as far west as Spain. Bennison’s examination of the politics, society, and culture of the ‘Abbasid period presents a picture of a society that nurtured many of the “civilized” values that Western civilization claims to represent, albeit in different premodern forms: from urban planning and international trade networks to religious pluralism and academic research. Bennison’s argument counters the common Western view of Muslim culture as alien and offers a new perspective on the relationship between Western and Islamic cultures.

The Great Caliphs

The life and legacy of one of Mohammad’s closest confidants and Islam’s patron saint: Ali ibn Abi Talib ﻿Ali ibn Abi Talib is arguably the single most important spiritual and intellectual authority in Islam after prophet Mohammad. Through his teachings and leadership as fourth caliph, Ali nourished Islam. But Muslims are divided on whether he was supposed to be Mohammad’s political successor—and he continues to be a polarizing figure in Islamic history. Hassan Abbas provides a nuanced, compelling portrait of this towering yet divisive figure and the origins of sectarian division within Islam. Abbas reveals how, after Mohammad, Ali assumed the spiritual mantle of Islam to spearhead the movement that the prophet had led. While Ali’s teachings about wisdom, justice, and selflessness continue to be cherished by both Shia and Sunni Muslims, his pluralist ideas have been buried under sectarian agendas and power politics. Today, Abbas argues, Ali’s legacy and message stands against that of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Taliban.

The Prophet's Heir

A popular history of the Arab invasions that carved out an empire from Spain to China Today's Arab world was created at breathtaking speed. Whereas the Roman Empire took over 200 years to reach its fullest extent, the Arab armies overran the whole Middle East, North Africa and Spain within a generation. They annihilated the thousand-year-old Persian Empire and reduced the Byzantine Empire to little more than a city-state based around Constantinople. Within a hundred years of the Prophet's death, Muslim armies destroyed the Visigoth kingdom of Spain, and crossed the Pyrenees to occupy southern France. This is the first popular English language account of this astonishing remaking of the political and religious map of the world. Hugh Kennedy's sweeping narrative reveals how the Arab armies conquered almost everything in their path. One of the few academic historians with a genuine talent for story telling, he offers a compelling mix of larger-than-life characters, battles, treachery and the clash of civilizations.

The Great Arab Conquests

The Rashidun Caliphate, established in the 7th century, marked the pivotal early years of Islam's expansion, characterized by the leadership of the first four caliphs, who were close companions of the Prophet Muhammad. This period is renowned for its rapid territorial expansion, military conquests, and the spread of Islamic faith and culture across vast regions. Under the leadership of the Rashidun caliphs, particularly Umar ibn al-Khattab and Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, the caliphate grew to encompass a significant portion of the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. Their governance principles, rooted in Islamic jurisprudence, emphasized justice, consultation, and adherence to the Quran and Sunnah, laying the foundation for the subsequent Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties and influencing the development of Islamic civilization.
