Sad ibn Abi Waqqas - A Hero Among the Asharah Al-Mubashsharah
An inspiring life story with timeless relevance
The history of the early Muslims is characterized by courage, determination and deep faith. One of the most outstanding companions of the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ was Saʿd Ibn Abī Waqqāṣ - a man whose life is a shining example of steadfastness and devotion. As one of the ten companions who were promised paradise during their lifetime (ʿAšarah Al-Mubaššarah), he played a key role in the spread of Islam. With this book, Erden Karsli offers readers an in-depth examination of the personality and achievements of this extraordinary man.
A role model for every generation
Saʿd Ibn Abī Waqqāṣ's life path impressively shows how faith can strengthen a person and guide him even under the most difficult conditions. His story begins in Mecca, where he was one of the first to embrace Islam and was subsequently faced with significant challenges, including family pressure and social rejection. Despite these obstacles, he remained true to his faith and developed into a staunch defender of Islam.
The book vividly describes his role in major battles such as Badr, Uḥud and Qādisīyah. These historical events are not only presented factually, but placed in a larger spiritual context so that the reader can understand the significance of these battles for Islamic history and their lasting lessons.
A work of wisdom and lessons for the present
One of the special values of this book lies in its ability to connect past events with today's reality. The trials Sa'd went through are universal and affect Muslims in the modern world as well. How can one maintain one's faith when living in a secular environment? How can one deal with family conflicts arising from religious beliefs? How can one cultivate perseverance in everyday life?
Karsli answers these questions by not only providing historical facts but also providing practical insights that make the reader think and reflect. It becomes clear that Saʿd Ibn Abī Waqqāṣ was not only an important figure of the past, but a timeless role model for every believer.

In addition, the book offers a unique comparison between Saʿd Ibn Abī Waqqāṣ and the other outstanding members of the ʿAšarah Al-Mubaššarah, allowing the reader to better understand the individual strengths of these significant figures.
