Salman El-Farsi by Sayed A. A. Razwy

Nice book on the life of Salman El-Farsi by A.A. Razwy.

Some interesting passages:
"...Badr is the most important battle in the history of Islam, and one the most important in world history. Victory in Badr guaranteed the existence of Islam." (pg 115)

"It appears that Ali was chosen expressly by Allah to be His 'instrument' of victory'. Ali was Allah's 'instrument of victory in the battle of Badr, and in every subsequent battle, and each time he brought glory, honour and victory to Islam." (pg 115-116)
There is a nice dua/prayer on pg 120 that the Holy Prophet recited at the wedding of his daughter, the Lady of Light to the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (A.S.):
"O Allah! O Sovereign of the Universe! All praise and thanks belongs to Thee. I commend Fatima and Ali, Thy loving slaves, to Thy protection. Be Thou their Protector. Be pleased with them. Show them Thy pleasure. Bestow upon them Thy boundless bounty, grace and mercy. Bestow upon them Thy best rewards. Make their marriage happy and fruitful, and make them steadfast in Thy love and in Thy service." (pg 120)"
