This is the first volume in a series of three in relation to the family of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, known as the Ahlul Bayt. The books will encompass as much sound knowledge as possible on the lives of these great figures. This first volume will speak more specifically in regard to the virtues of Amir al-Muminin, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib.
The sections go through a chronological journey through the life of Ali ibn Abi Talib. They explain how our master entered Islam through the blessed hands of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his belief system, his life in Mecca, the Hijrah to the city of Madinah al-Munawarrah, his blessed marriage to Sayyidah Fatima az-Zahra, the births of Imams Hasan and Husayn, his glory in battle, the influence of his knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet, his journey to Allah through his recitation of the Quran and his love of it.
An excellent and very accessible read, that serves as a good introduction towards understanding the life of one of the greatest men to have ever lived, Sayyiduna al-Imam Ali (ra). Most certainly worth a read; time well invested.
A great, easy read for those who want a religious introduction into the person of 'Alī, especially from a Sunni perspective. All of the reports collected here are wonderful to read. My only criticism is that the formatting and grammar are quite poor throughout, and I believe the work would be enhanced if these issues were corrected in a future edition.
Amazing compilation and translation of hadiths from Sunni sources about the virtues of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, aleyhi salam. A great contribution to Islam in the english language.
