The History of Al-Khilafa Ar-Rashidah Textbook

This textbook has been written for the Junior High level. The history of the al-Khilafah ar-Rashidah deals with one of the most important periods of Islamic history. Following the Sunnah, this period established the principles of Shura (Consultation), responsible government, rule of law, the welfare system, and human rights. The age of the "Righteous" Caliphs represents an age whose principles embody the archetypical Islamic State. Yet, this period also saw the Fitnah, a division within the Muslim community. This textbook attempts to make this very complex situation understandable to the adolescent reader.

Twenty-six lessons cover major events that characterized the period of each of the four Rightly Guided Khalifahs, including Abu Bakr As-Saddiq (ra), 'Umar ibn Al Khattab (ra), Uthman ibn 'Affan (ra), and Ali ibn Abu Talib (ra).
