This book opens a bright window into the history of the first Islamic state, founded by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in Medina. It is a state that laid the foundations of justice, mercy, and solidarity among humankind. The author takes us on an intensive journey through the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), from his noble birth until the establishment of the state, highlighting the conquests he fought in defense of faith and truth. He then moves us to the era of the Rightly-Guided Caliphate and the momentous events and major shocks it witnessed, such as the assassination of the three caliphs: Umar, Uthman, and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them). In a smooth and concise style, the book sheds light on the values ​​upon which this state was built and how it was able to change the course of history, becoming a beacon of civilization for the entire world. It is a book that combines a fragrant biography with political history, presenting the reader with a concentrated and inspiring summary of the beginnings of Islam and the lessons that remain valid for all times.
