About This Book

Heroes of Islam presents short accounts of the lives of some of the great figures and role models of Muslim history. In place of the celebrities and public figures promoted by modern media, it offers examples of people whose achievements came from firm faith and from seeking the pleasure of Allah.

The author explains that Muslims have no need for fictional or mythical heroes, since their history is full of real men and women, from military leaders to scholars to devout ordinary people, whose lives show the qualities worth building in ourselves and our families.
