The two sheikhs - Taha Hussein

The two sheikhs, the two rightly-guided caliphs, who exhausted the caliphs who came after them; As no one after the era of prophecy reached their level of justice and wisdom: “Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq” and “Umar bin Al-Khattab”. Taha Hussein tells us about them in this book. The author found that the books of those who preceded him went in the history of these two personalities and the events of their era, the doctrine of exaggeration at one time and negligence at another; Some exaggerated their veneration to the point of reverence, and transmitted unreliable accounts of their time and relegated them to the status of established facts, while others underestimated them to the extent of denying or underestimating their achievements. As for Hussein, he presents with great objectivity and fairness aspects of the personalities of Al-Siddiq and Al-Farouq, extrapolating from what was authentically reported about them the approach that each of them took in: governance and politics, upholding the banner of Islam, uniting the word of Muslims, and repelling the arrows of the aggressors and seditionists.
