Description from the publisher:
The present work is a translation of the Urdu work, "Mohsin-e-Azam and Mohsanin." The author narrates the story of the life of the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) and his immediate rightly-guided successors: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali (upon them be peace) with the wonder and excitement of a personal discovery. The approach is rational and humanistic in relating the progressive and social values which motivated the early Muslim community and its leaders. The author wrote the present work in 1963 and it is so popular that this its 21st edition. (Originally written in Urdu while the author lived in Pakistan, here translated into English.)
