Books on Islaam tend to concentrate on either the prophet, peace be upon him, and the major Companions, or to deal with the problems of mdern times. Why, it might be asked, is it so important to learn about the lives of the Muslims during the first two centuries after the Prophet’s death, a period of history which is so often ignored?

Perhaps the most important lesson we can take from this early period is the attitude and action of the Companions and the Tabi’un when confronted by that most dangerous of trials – fitna or cival war. In Arabic, fitna means ‘civil strife, discord, sedition, temptation, trial’. It used to refer to those disagreements in the community which develop into factions and then into outright armed conflict. This is extremely important because we continue to be constantly confronted by fitna wherever we turn. We can learn a great deal from how the early Muslims dealt with it.
