Review from Dr Ahmad Abrar

5 stars

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the Caucasus region, Islamic history, and Sufism, with a particular focus on the intersection on these themes. It may be a valuable resource for those interested in the history and culture of the Islamic world, particularly in the regions of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.

This book delves into deeper elements of the making of the great historic figure Imam Shaamil. The author beautifully zooms us through history of the various regions and development of Islamic mysticism and all the elements that brought about the environment in which Imam Shaamil grew into the great man and imam that he did. Along the way, various spiritual and historic heroes like Shaykh AbdulQadir, Berke Khan, Mawlana Rumi, Salahuddin, and many others are explored.

Imam Shaamil is a name that should be known in every household along with a thorough grasp of Islamic history in various regions. What made us reach where we are now? How can we do better and grow the ummah stronger? These questions can be answered by further studying our past and learning from those who struggled day and night to bring us the Islam we now join today. In this regard, this book an inspiring attempt to bring about a new appreciation of Islam, Sufism, Islamic history, Muslim heroes, and Imam Shaamil in specific. May Allah bless this ummah to make more beautiful spiritually-driven heroes to be born who end up lifting the ummah to greater heights.
