The Description of the Ten Companions Who were Given the Glad Tidings of Paradise.
Strong Muslims are capable of malting a choice of personality to mimic and remain steadfast on it, while the weak and ignorant are prone to get mislead. So, more than ever, it is incumbent upon us to talk to our youth, and even we adults should reflect on the greatness of our great Muslim heroes from our Islamic past, who built the most glorious and powerful civilization of all, who took a crass society of measly people and gave them Islam that dramatically improved their lives.
Darussalam is presenting this book to our youth hoping that they will find in it great examples, persons and models to follow and develop their own personalities accordingly.

All praise belongs to Allah. We praise Him, seek His forgiveness, and seek refuge in Him from evil inclinations and from the evil of bad deeds.

The enemy of Islam is Shaytan. He comes in many disguises, and spares no effort to turn Muslims away from their religion and its sublime principles and teachings. Disbeliever people are threatened by the Muslim’s superior lifestyle that is spotless and beyond reproach. They are well aware that as long as Muslims adhere to their religion, all attempts to corrupt them will be futile, because Islam is the source of their power. Islam is that which raises a mere individual into something higher and more dignified. And, for this reason, Islam is severely attacked through all forms of non-Muslim media. It is a cheap attempt to corrupt young minds away from something great to something pitiful: the life outside of Islam. Through following Islamic guidance, we glorify our Creator, Allah, and we become the best example of human beings.

The enemy (Shaytan) tries to convince us that the material world is the way to all success and power. This attack tries to convince Muslims that their weakness stems from their adherence to their religion, its creeds and principles. The media, or so called entertainment, is the vehicle which smears all young minds, so Muslim families should be especially careful of what this entertainment has the proven power to do: corrupt our youth’s pristine values, slowly, without notice. Instead of taking on the Prophet Muhammad’s personality that is without any blemish, unknowing youth sadly mimic fictitious personalities in the movies or on the television, and this is how Shaytan wins.
Strong Muslims are capable of making a choice of personality to mimic and remain steadfast on it, while the weak and ignorant are prone to get mislead. So, more than ever, it is incumbent upon us to talk to our youth, and even we adults should reflect on the greatness of our great Muslim heroes from our Islamic past, who built the most glorious and powerful civilization of all. Who took a crass society of measly people and gave them Islam that dramatically improved their lives. These were civilizations that encompassed both sublime Muslim morals, and great material progress simultaneously.

We want to present this book ‘The Precious Pearls – the Description of the Ten Companions Who were Given the Glad Tidings of Paradise’ to our youth as a legacy hoping that they will continue on toward finding the higher and real values that Islam suggests to acquire. In it are the models to follow instead of mimicking inferior, fictitious and corrupt personalities presented to us by non-Muslims.
