Description
Zayd Mu'tah: The Legend of the Forgotten Son
An Islamic historical fiction based on true events
A Story Buried by Time… but Not by Allah
What happens when a man who was closer than a son to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — a man who lived in his home, fought beside him, was loved more than his own flesh — is forgotten by history?
What do we make of a warrior who died carrying the Prophet's banner, soaked in blood, defending faith against an empire, and yet whose name barely echoes in the books we teach, the stories we tell, or the sermons we deliver?
This novel is not merely a retelling. It is a reclamation.
Zayd ibn Ḥārithah was the first to unsheathe his sword under the Prophet's command. The first commander to lead a Muslim army against the mightiest empire of the time. The only companion mentioned by name in the Qur'an — not ʿAlī, not Abū Bakr, not ʿUmar, not Khadījah, not Fāṭimah — only Zayd. Honored by Allah in the most sacred of texts, and yet marginalized by the heritage that followed.
This book restores him to his rightful place.
The Battle that Shook Two Worlds
Set in the scorching sands of Mu'tah, in the shadow of Byzantine power, this is the story of 3000 men who stared death in the face, who stood before 200,000 Roman and Arab soldiers, armed and ready to crush them.
At the head of those 3000? A man who bore not just the flag of the Prophet ﷺ — but his trust, his love, his legacy.
Zayd's charge at Mu'tah was not merely strategic. It was spiritual.
He did not seek victory on earth — he sought honor before Allah. His decisions were not made with maps or numbers, but with unwavering belief. And the miracle? They didn't win.
But they didn't fall either. Because true martyrdom leaves behind a victory that is not always counted in land and lives — but in legacy.
What You'll Discover in this Book
The Human Side of History
You'll meet Zayd the child, enslaved and orphaned, taken by force from his home. Then Zayd the son, chosen and cherished by the Prophet. Zayd the commander, making impossible decisions. And Zayd the martyr, dying with the Prophet's flag still clenched in his hand.
The Forgotten Power of Love and Loyalty
Zayd was not only a soldier or a servant of Islam — he was the Prophet's beloved. Their relationship defies today's rigid categories of companionship and adoption. It was pure, deep, and enduring. It was love for the sake of Allah.
Untold Political and Social Contexts
This story opens windows into the realities of Byzantine politics, Arab alliances, betrayal, tribal conflicts, and the fierce response to the rising Muslim presence. You will discover what no classroom or textbook dares to uncover.
The True Meaning of Sacrifice
When Zayd died, Jaʿfar ibn Abī Ṭālib picked up the flag. His arms were severed, one after the other, but he used his shoulders and chest to keep the flag upright. When he fell, ʿAbdullāh ibn Rawāḥah hesitated — not out of fear for his life, but for the lives of his men. But he charged anyway.
This isn't fiction made to entertain. It's fiction made to elevate.
Why This Story Matters Today
In a world suffocating under shallow headlines and clickbait history, we need stories that restore meaning.
We need to know that Islam's foundations were not just shaped by kings, caliphs, and conquests — but by forgotten heroes whose blood carried the weight of the Message.
This book is a call to awaken your heart.
To remember those who were erased — not by enemies of Islam, but by time, negligence, and selective memory.
Zayd is a symbol of what it means to be devoted.
Mu'tah is a symbol of what it means to stand firm when the world expects you to break.
