"The best people are those of my generation, and then those who will come after them …" – (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)

This book focuses on the lives of those who followed the best of generations. Using authentic sources, it shares anecdotes about their lives, emphasizing their personalities, worship habits, decision-making, social interactions, simplistic lifestyles, and, above all, their love for and obedience to Allah and His Messenger.

As the reader progresses through the book, he or she will quickly realize that many of these virtuous believers were confronted with the very same dilemmas we face as an ummah today: issues relating to division and civil strife among Muslims, religious extremism or fanaticism, love of worldly possessions, tyranny and oppression, and a lack of respect for moral and spiritual values.

Sometimes, as this compilation will show, Allah only needs to inspire one person, who then succeeds in significantly impacting society as a whole. Insha’Allah, this book will ensure that those we should consider our role models are not forgotten in history books.
