HIS BOOK, by the late Indian historian and intellectual, Shaykh Abū
'1-Hasan Ali Nadwī, 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 re-
ligion 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-
'Azīz, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and Ghazālī to Ibn al-Jawzī and Șalāḥ al-Din al-
Ayyūbī, 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 Alläh, 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."
