Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of Ali-ibn-Abu-Talib, unlike any other, is based on the primary sources of eighth and ninth century Islamic history. It owes its freshness and directness of approach to the words of the men and women who heard Ali speak and witnessed the events of his life. Nothing remotely compareable exists in Urdu, or any other Indo-European language for that matter. With an unusual gift of story telling, Professor Zaidi has adopted a style that reflects both simplicity and the grandeur of the story he tells.The Author completed a BA Hon's in English from the University of Lucknow and two Masters degrees from the University of Sindh -- General History and Islamic History. Professor Zaidi taught history at various institutions for more than twenty five years.
