Saviours of Islamic Spirit

Saviours of Islamic Spirit

Tarikh-i Da'wat wa Azimat byAbu 'l-Hasan Ali al-Hasani Nadwi

A New Revised and Edited Translation

Revised and Edited by Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera

This book, by the late Indian historian and intellectual, Shaykh Abu 'l-Hasan Ali Nadwi, is a story of the ebbs and flows of this Umma; the challenges, the setbacks, and most importantly, the successes. It is a poignant story of the accomplishments, attainments, and triumphs that propelled the Umma forward. It is a story told through extraordinary figures: the revivers, men of courage, vigor, and zeal, an elect group who were graced with divine determination to safeguard the spirit of God's religion on earth. In other words, they were the saviours of the Islamic spirit.

Drawing on the lives of ten of the most influential personalities of the first seven centuries of Islam, from Hasan al-Basri, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and Ghazali to Ibn al-Jawzi and Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi, this work offers comfort and much-needed perspective, given the current situation of Muslims around the world. It aims to inspire Muslim youth and others to virtue and love for Allah, and to provide role models of intellectual and spiritual excellence, at a time when people are looking for motivation from other sources. This history reminds us that we are not in the direst of situations.

"Few have not felt their spirits lifted by reading this book. One of the most widely-read Islamic classics of recent times.''

- Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, Cambridge Muslim College
