Zubair ibn al-Awwam (The Ten Promised Paradise) L. Khadija

This book is the second of a series dedicated to the “Ten Promised Paradise”: ten Companions who received glad tidings of Paradise on the same occasion during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). These ten Companions are considered the elite of our community. Among them were the four great Caliphs (RA). Zubair ibn al-Awwam was one of the ten as well. Zubair was one of the greatest Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Prophet even said, “Every Prophet has a hawari (disciple or special helper), and my hawari is Zubair ibn al-Awwam.” (Bukhari) We have so much to learn from his life and so much to teach our children. They will love his extraordinary strength and bravery! They will also admire his mother, Safiya, and his amazing wife, Asma bint Abi Bakr!
