He was described by the beloved Prophet as the most generous, the most magnanimous, the most modest of his Companions. Uthman ibn Affan was one of the Four Rightly-Guided Caliphs of the Muslim state. Uthman was always the first to respond to the call for help. A wealthy merchant, he constantly donated his wealth, enlarging the Medina mosque, buying a well for the people, feeding and equipping the army and helping the poor and needy. This book brings to life the great caliph Uthman, the embodiment of the tenets of Islam and an inspiration and example for all Muslims today.

Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (the Truthful) ranks among the most important and influential figures in Islamic history. Throughout his life he provided an exemplary example to all those around him. The other Companions admitted that no one could outdo Abu Bakr in exemplifying the true faith. His uprightness and sincerity earned him the honor of being the first Caliph of the Muslim world after the Prophet's death. He served the people with the greatest humility, dying almost penniless at the age of sixty-three. This book brings to life the remarkable character of Abu Bakr from his birth onwards through the early years of Islam.
