About Course

Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ commanded us to follow his Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs after him, but their conduct—despite its strength and the numerous lessons we can learn from it—is difficult to implement in our contemporary reality due to differing circumstances and environments.

So, this series is here to help our students benefit from the inspiring and strong legacy of the caliphs in this era, and teach us how can Muslim communities and the future leaders of this Ummah utilize the mechanisms of their rise, and their driving values to produce more prudent management experiences.

This is a unique program that teaches not only the history of the guided caliphs, the major events that happened to this Ummah in their time, but also the art of decision-making through their wisdom and their genuine understanding of Islam. Leaders  are evaluated by their actions, actions are evaluated by their decisions, and decisions by their results and consequences. Every situation is a decision, and the decision can only be understood in the context in which it was made. There is often a successful choice among possible options, and this single choice yields the most gains or the least losses.

Students will have a fresh perspective on the caliphs’ seerah, putting themselves in their position and attempting to comprehend why they chose this course of action over another teaching them the valuable skills needed for good decision-making.

What Will You Learn?

  • His era is famously known for the Great Fitna. After the murder of Uthman, he assumed the caliphate under difficult circumstances, although he was neither pleased with it nor inclined toward it. He was known, may Allah be pleased with him, for his sound judgment and foresight. He was preoccupied with the wars against the opponents in fierce battles like Siffin, Jamal, and Nahrawan. As a result of the emergence of the instigators of discord in Medina, who directed public opinion in the city toward seeking retribution from the murderers of Uthman r.a., a word of truth intended to mislead, this caused a split among the ranks of Muslims. He was treacherously killed at dawn on the 21st of Ramadan in the year 40 AH at the age of 58. So that the caliphate after him would be for his son Hasan, thru whom Allah completed the righteous caliphate to be thirty years, as our Prophet, peace be upon him, informed us in the hadith: Imam Ahmad (220/5) narrated from Sa'id ibn Jubayr from Sufyanah, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say: "The caliphate will last for thirty years, then there will be kingship after that." Al-Hasan r.a., relinquished the caliphate to Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan r.a., to unite the Muslims on a single matter so that they would not differ or dispute; this year is known as the Year of Unity. And this was the Caliphate of the last guided caliph, Ali Ibn Abi Taleb, may Allah be pleased with them all.
