Book Cover & Preview Text
If you wish to see the struggle of one man, a unique and peerless man, to protect his faith and to disseminate it among the public as he faced monumental challenges, how he had to suffer banishment from home in Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) to be lodged in exile near the Iran-Russia border..., this book will provide you with all this knowledge and much, much more. Perhaps what is more interesting is the fact that the vast majority of the Muslims of the world are not at all familiar with the events and incidents this book details.
