    About this ebook

    The fourth of the Knights of Arabia series of books and the second in the Muslim Knights line, this book contains some interesting and illuminating stories.

    If you're looking for some good books about Islam and Muslims, or just stories with a moral, then this is the book for you! Come and read some great anecdotes about famous Caliphas and Sahabis and their equally famous descendants.

    Here you can read about:

    Story #1: Sa'ad bin Muathe and Musab bin Umair - The first, a leader of the Owes tribe of Yathrib, the second, a devout man from Mecca, when the two meet their views clash, and some truly surprising things happen.

    Story #2: Muhammad (peace be upon him) - Goes on Hijat Al-Wada'a (the Farewell Pilgrimage) and gives his people many things to think about, not the least of which is the sanctity of human life and how respectfully people should treat one another.

    Story #3: Qais bin Sa'ad bin Ubada and Muhammad bin Al-Hanifiya - Two well-known Muslim heroes are summoned before the Amawai Calipha Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan to face two challengers sent to him by a Roman Emperor.

    Story #4: Abdullah bin Umar - Young and wishing to feel as important as his elders, Abdullah prays for a dream vision and gets more than he bargained for.

    Story #5: Muhammad (peace be upon him) - The Sahaba [companions and apostles of Muhammad (peace be upon him)] share what they learned about how in Islam slaves are to be treated as brothers.

    Story #6: Muhammad (peace be upon him) - After a disappointing and hurtful impromptu meeting with an important leader of the Thaqeef tribe, Muhammad (peace be upon him) is given a startling offer by an angel.

    Story #7: Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Salman Al-Farisi - Muhammad (peace be upon him) explains about the the dual rewards of fasting, and he corrects a confused Udai bin Hatim about when to start fasting for the day. Meanwhile, Salman Al-Farisi chastises a friend for not balancing his family and spiritual lives better.

    Story #8: Abu Bakur Al-Siddiq - Tired of the Qurashi persecution of all Muslims, Abu Bakur packs up and leaves Mecca for Al-Habasha, a Christian kingdom in Africa, but is forestalled when he meets an old friend.

    Story #9: Sa'ad bin Abi Waqas - When his controlling mother learns he became a Muslim without her permission, she starts a hunger strike to try and force him back into line. Sa'ad stands up for his right to believe in whatever he wants and confronts his manipulative mother for the first time in his life.

    Story #10: Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar - While praying at Al-Masjid Al-Haram (the central mosque of Islam) Salim is greeted by Amawi Calipha Sulaiman bin Abd Al-Malik who tries to grant Salim a boon. Salim takes the opportunity to teach the well-meaning Calipha a lesson in humility.

    Included in this ebook is a map illustrating the locations of the cities and areas mentioned in the stories.

    Aisha Bilal

    Aisha Bilal is a confirmed bookworm who grew up reading all the Arabic and English books she could find. As she read about King Arthur and his Knights, she realized that most of the people who enjoyed reading those stories would probably never read about the real-life Arabian Knights. So began her pet project: to share the stories of the many Knights of Arabia with a whole new audience.Although there will be no flying carpets, there will be lots of great stories in the Knights of Arabia books. So come explore a wonderful ancient culture rich in adventure and romance.Currently, Aisha Bilal lives in Mecca, Saudi Arabia where she spends her free time reading, writing and trying to sketch her cat. She plans to write and illustrate a children's book and hopes to have it ready for publishing soon.

      Chapter 1: Sa'ad bin Muathe and Musab bin Umair - A Gift of Faith

      Kaan Ya Makaan, Fee Qadeem Al-Zamaan…

      There was a Place, in Times of Old…

      Called Yathrib, a town that lay over a month's journey by camel to the north of the town of Mecca.

      Yet somehow, Sa'ad bin Muathe thought irritably as he strolled along the streets of Yathrib, the people of Mecca have managed to send their troubles here, to my town and my people.

      Sa'ad bin Muathe was a very wise, very clever man. He was also an excellent warrior, a devoted husband and father, a caring kinsman and despite his youth, the leader and bulwark of his tribe. Whenever anyone needed anything be it advice, food, shelter, protection or just a fair judge to settle a dispute, they went to Sa'ad bin Muathe and he never let them down.

      That's why when he saw his cousin, Sa'ad bin Zurarah, and a man from Mecca named Musab bin Umair calling the people of Yathrib together and proselytizing, he felt it was his responsibility to do something. Even more personally vexing to Sa’ad bin Muathe was the great success the two men seemed to be having. The people would gather and listen to the Sa’ad bin Zurarah and Musab bin Umair for a while and then, for no apparent reason, become Muslims!
