Shaykh Mahdi Rizqullah Ahmad in this exceptional work Al-Thabitun ‘ala al-Islam Ayyam Fitnah al-Riddah fi ‘Ahd al-Khalifah Abi Bakr al-Siddiq, which we have titled “Guardians of the Islamic Legacy: Resolute During the Apostasy,” provides a meticulous study into the turbulent period following the Prophet Muhammad’s salla Llahu `alayhi wa sallam passing. Challenging widely proliferated views, Shaykh Mahdi dives into the Fitnah of Apostasy during Abū Bakr as-Ṣiddīq’s radiya Llahu ‘anhu Khilāfah, drawing attention to those remarkable personalities who remained resolute in their faith. With detailed references, this book elucidates the steadfastness of tribes and leaders across the Arabian Peninsula, rectifying misconceptions about mass apostasy. By doing so, Shaykh Mahdi not only defends the honour of the Prophet’s salla Llahu `alayhi wa sallam generation but also rebuts any aspersions upon the Islamic foundations laid by the Prophet salla Llahu `alayhi wa sallam.
