The Ten Granted Paradise

Dr. Nakshawani in the following work not only corrects the widespread misconception that the Shi’i intellectual tradition despises and curses all Companions, but also clarifies the reason for which some Companions were considered people of Paradise in the Shi’i (and usually the Sunni) tradition. In a few places, the author notes reasons for which the Shi’i tradition does not venerate certain Companions. Discussing controversial history as it relates to Companions and the ahl al-bayt remains a difficult enterprise, where methods and premises, let alone conclusions, substantially differ from scholar to scholar. As an expert of the Shi’i tradition, Dr. Nakshawani presents relevant Shi’i narratives for non-specialists who would otherwise be unaware of them. Thus, the following biographies fill a gap in knowledge about Companions not only revered in the Shi’i tradition, but according to the collective memory of pro-Alid Sunni and Shi’i authors, granted Paradise.

This is an excellent work by the renowned scholar. I have recently become familiar with his lectures through a colleague and have found that his work resurfaces concepts I had been taught since childhood and present them in a different context—ones that I had previously not thought of.The discourse is especially enlightening in that Dr. Sayed Ammar takes a well known ahadith (narration of the Prophet) and presents it in a different light--he contests the popular opinion of many that twelver "imami" muslims reject the companions of the Prophet and shows that they in fact hold them in very high regard, to the likes of Abu Dhar, Bilal al-Habashi, Salman al-Muhammadi and a few others.Not to mention, the book is a very easy read and can be absorbed by multiple age groups, non-Muslims and Muslims alike for a very interesting perspective previously unheard of. With “The Ten Granted Paradise”, Dr. Sayed Ammar has once again displayed that he is indeed one of the most prominent thinkers of the Muslim world in the 21st century.

Amazing paradigms, when doctor Amar tried to focus on specific companions that are really granted, and agreed by both sides

A must read for anyone seeks a deeper, yet simple understanding of shia views about the companios of Profit Muhammed (pbuh).

I have been listening to Dr. Nakshwani for a while now, and I was really impressed by his emphasis on history. I must say that this book can seem a little hostile to our brothers and sisters in ahl-e-sunnah, However, all accounts are verifiable. Muslims suffer today because we are not aware of the true facts of history and this book can serve as a stepping stone in our quest for the truth.

He is my favorite Islamic speaker and I really enjoyed this book and learned some things I did not know prior to reading the book.

Sayed Ammar's books are the most beautiful and beneficial books I've ever read. May Allah bless his soul.

Here is the ProblemKumail is NOT a companion of the Prophet, although a well respected Tabi'iMuhammad b abuBakr is a MINOR companion of Prophet whose loyalty and piety is beyond question but he was ill suited to the task of governer of Egypt and failed in it miserablyI'm shocked this great "scholar" of Imami shias has failed to include such stalwart supporters of Ameer ul momineen Ali likeQays b Sa'dSahl b HuneyfUthman b HuneyfAbu AyyubAdi b HatimSuleiman b SuredAMr b Hamiqwho gave their lives property and everything to support ALi , so sad that polemics trump true scholarship
