Christians Who Defended and Died for the Prophet Muhammad and His Family (pbuh)

History often remembers conflict between religious communities, yet some of the most remarkable moments of solidarity and courage come from unexpected alliances. Christians Who Defended and Died for the Prophet Muhammad and His Family (pbuh) sheds light on this lesser-known dimension of early Islamic history—one in which Christian individuals and tribes demonstrated loyalty, respect, and even sacrifice for the Prophet and the Ahl al-Bayt. Through powerful examples, the book reveals how moral integrity and shared spiritual values transcended religious boundaries.

Drawing from early historical sources and trusted riwāyah (narrative transmission: traditional reports documenting historical events), the book highlights stories of hospitality, alliance, ethical bravery, and even martyrdom. Rather than focusing on theological debate, the work emphasizes human virtue, mutual respect, and the universal principles that inspired these Christians to defend truth and justice as they understood it.
