Praise be to Allah, Lord of all creation, peace and blessings are upon our Prophet Mohammed bin Abdullah, the last prophet and his companions and followers to the Day of Judgment.

Hereafter,,

The Islamic history is a great treasure and a rich resource, where exhortation, Cues, the story and the incident, the lesson and Transients, are found. You can find also the former news and how years passed on them.  As Blessed and Exalted be  Allah recounted  to us in the Holy Quran , As well as our Prophet Muhammad  peace be upon him when  told us the stories about  The Children of Israel  and other nations and centuries , aiming to benefit us from thier News to  take cautionary notice and advise   . Blessed and Exalted be Allah said: (Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding) . Surah Yusuf 111: and said:  (He it is who drove out the disbelievers among the people of the Scripture (i.e. the Jews of the tribe of Bani An-Nadir) from their homes at the first gathering. You did not think that they would get out. And they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But Allah's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see) ) Surah AlHasher 2.

​

The aim from mentioning their stories is to consider the good and bad, it motivates us to acts well, and get away from all that is ugliness.

​

Historians mastered in their authoresses and writings displays, some of them wrote about the whole history like Ibn Katheer when he wrote ALBEDAIAH w ALNEHAIAH (Which means Since the beginning of creation to the end of its time) Then he wrote the epilog NEHAIAT ALBEDAIAH W ALNEHAIAH (which is the end of life by the presence of the Signs of the Judgment Day etc .. ). Other scholars wrote manuscripts about a certain period of time; such as the books about Seerah (the biography of Prophet Muhammad (SAWS)), other writers  confined to write the history focusing on the caliphs History only, others confined to write about only the history of the caliphs and kings. There are authors who wrote the history books, mostly in the form of poetry and prose.  Some also wrote the history as extrapolation like Ibn Khaldoon in his great introduction. 

​

Between your hands dear reader, an easy and fluent book, that has been written in away  far from complexity and lengthening,  with  alot of citation  and witticisms, authored by Allah blessed his soul in  the form of two hundered( 200 )  line of poetry as words relented to him to reflect what Simmered in his soul.

​

During my  readings among the longest  Islamic history books like  Ibn Katheer & Ibn Atheer &Ibn Jareer, i always noticed that our author always a head of me translating the words of these books as lines of poetry in a summarized amazing way averting the reader k from being bored   as he mentioned .

​

​

​

​

​

​

 Otherwise it would take me a long period of time to stop in every line to explore the deep meanings, and expand in the most important works of all of caliphs  with there advantages, disadvantages and the most important events of their times , but it is known always  that the lengthening lists alienation , for that I referred to the most important  references’ and manuscripts  to make it easier for the reader .

​

I have confined  in this book to using tabulation ; identifying the reference and page number for all information, also included in the marginal notes some comments that I felt it should be mentioned. I expanded somehow in the details of certain events as The First Fitna and assisnation of the Rightly Guided Caliphas Osman, Ali also the Tatars (Asian tribes who under the leadership of Genghis Khan devastated much of Asia and eastern Europe in the early 13th century )    and other events and accidents that the reader may need to return to. Also I adjusted the formation of poetry verses and researched deeply in the meanings of some of these lines and phrases especially that contains anecdotes.

​

For the sake of raising the interest, and the science  thrill  of the readers helping them to enhance their imagination to feel they are living that era ,  I added  images of the Collectibles  of Prophet Muhammad  peace be upon him such as  his Holy Hair , Beard , Footwear , Garment , Flag and the holy stamp , in addition to  photo shots of Swords of his noble Companions May Allah bless them all. Then I showed photographs of the Islamic art in calligraphy, engraving, Architecture, Pottery, carpets & Islamic ornamentation.  Then it came into my mind to add some photographs’ of coinage &currencies that was used in the era of each caliph, for this aim  i invited the respected, The Sublime Muslim scientist Ibrahim Jaber AL jabber to participate in this work who thankfully accepted with lenience which enriched this book by all means with all due respect to him . Then I presented the book to the Islamic moralist scientist Alsheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman AlAreefi who has been a brother & a close friend since we joined the same high school and university together, he graciously favored me and read the book and introduced it to the readers with all due respect to him for his time and efforts.

​

Lastly I would like to present my sincere gratitude to the esteemed and noble personae who helped me in directing this book starting with my dear brother and cousin/  Mr.Ahmed bin

Mohammed Ghannam Albuainain who gifted me a copy of an old version of the poetry book , and  my kind Uncle Dr. /Abdulrahman bin Ali Al Buainain who raised in myself the Enthusiasm to work on this piece of Art , As well as  My brother Mr. / Ahmed Bin Mansour Al Buainain the  brother  of the old book author May Allah mercy their souls who supplied me with the necessary information i used in the translation of the poetry book  Allah blessed his soul, also he supplied me with copies of the author works and books ,knowing that the kinship tie between me and the author is closed as he was the uncle of my father and my father was his cousin  may Allah give mercy on them all .

 

In conclusion, I am very pleased to communicate with readers for discussion and amendment, if any modification worth to be added or deleted. Backing to certainty , seeking rewards from Allah in the hereafter.
