The true promise

In this exquisite book, the Dean of Arab literature, Dr. Taha Hussein, reviews the biography of six of the best of the Sahaba who were the first to support the religion of Allah, namely Bilal ibn Rabah, Suhaib ibn Sinan, Abdullah ibn Masud, Khabab ibn al-Arat, Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfa, and Ammar ibn Yasir.. Despite their differences in lineage and social status, they gathered to endure all kinds of torture in the valleys of Mecca at the hands of the disbelievers led by Abu Jahl, and they were not tempted away from their religion nor did they deviate from their faith. Dr. Taha Hussein records their biographies with his flowing style and captivating language, then takes us to Medina to witness what they did during the time of the Rashidun Caliphate, and the roles they played in serving and elevating the religion, moving between their biographies in a seamless narration that weaves a tangled story rich in details.
