Book: Sword of Allah | Khalid Bin Al-Waleed

A Biographical study of the Greatest Military General in History

"Women will no longer be able to give birth to the likes of Khalid bin Al-Waleed" Abu Bakr (ra)

I've just started reading this book, looks like a good read & guess what? the author of the book doesn't live far from my home village in Pakistan. Lieutenant General A.I Akram wrote this book to fill in a 'void' in history books - A detailed description of the famous battles of Islam written by a Trained Military Mind. He travelled to the lands where KBW fought, and may have even tread in the exact same spot as the Sword of Allah. Can you imagine that? Or even in the same spot as the Prophet (saw) once stood, or even gave a Khutbah!! [wowee... I'm so excited!]

The book although historical, reads pretty much like a novel. It tells the story allowing the reader to create an image in their minds. A bit of a break from the norm. InshaAllah, I might even finish reading all 458 pages of it! [takes deep breath...] Here goes!
