This book Three Stories From Our Glorious Past contains three annotated texts from the early Islamic period. Each one of them tells a story of a noble act.

As my aim in such works is to bring the readers closer to the language of the Glorious Qurān, and to teach them as many Qurānic words and grammatical patterns as possible, I have given in this book also copious Qurānic quotations to illustrate grammatical points. In order to benefit from these materials to the utmost, the reader is advised to read the āyāt in full and in their contexts.
