About this book

'Uthman ibn 'Affan was among the earliest Muslims, twice the son-in-law of the Prophet ﷺ — hence the title Dhun-Noorayn, 'possessor of two lights' — and known for his generosity and modesty.

Dr. as-Sallabi covers his early life, his service to Islam, his caliphate, the standardisation of the Quran and the turmoil that led to his martyrdom.

Why we recommend it

Uthman was known for his generosity and modesty, married two daughters of the Prophet ﷺ and gave the ummah the standard copy of the Quran we still read. Dr Sallabi covers his life, his caliphate and the tragic fitnah that ended it, with careful analysis. An essential biography for understanding early Islamic history.
