The Conquest begins...

In every class we take, there will always be an introduction. Without an introduction, we will be lost just like a traveler without a map. So, insha'Allah, this introduction will guide us to a better understanding of the class.

We are living on this earth at which someone had placed their footsteps here long time ago. The footsteps of Ar-Rasool and his companions.

What do we get from this class besides studying Islamic history?
1) We will be able to see a map of the real Islam
- the implementation of Islaam by the sahaba.

2) To have shukr (gratefulness, thankfulness) to those who spent their lives for this Deen
- they were not selfish in their Deen and the gave their life out so that today we are called Muslim
- Jazahum Allahu khairan katheera

3) To know our roots and thus, know where to go
- to recognize our purpose of life and our objective
- to implement them in our daily life following the best of all examples

4) To learn about leadership skills of the Khulafaa'
- each of them had their own unique characteristics. Insha'Allah, in this class we will be able to explore them and extract some of them.

5) Has the stories of the Khulafaa' to be passed on to others
- to those who are teaching in Sunday Schools/Islamic Schools, we highly recommend you to use these materials as part of your teaching materials.
- insha'Allah you will be able to benefit it the most, as said,"the knowledge that you benefit the most is the one that you teach to others."

Reference materials for this class:
1) The History if Islaam
2) Al-Bidayah Wan Nihayah - Ibn Katheer
3) Taarikh At Tabari - At-Tabari
4) 'Asr Khilaafatun Rasheedah

To be continued...

May Allah put barakah in our time so that we may be able to benefit them for His sake.

Wassalam,
LPCT
