Answer 3

My favourite Islamic character is Mohammed Ibn Qassim who came to Sindh (India) at the age of 17 and conquered Sindh and neighbouring places in  India within a short period.  He was a great warrior.  He also conquered the hearts of the people.  He came to Sidh within a few days of marriage.  The letters he wrote to his wife is a model for all youth. But, he was recalled by Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, the cruel ruler.  If he was not recalled, the history of India would have been different.

Answer 4

I would name all the Ulemaa of Ahlus Sunnah.

However due to the circumstances here, i'd say Shaykhul Islaam Ahmad bin Haleemah al Harraanee, Ibn Taymiyyah.

His refutations of the deviant sects and the Kuffaar made him a thorn in the eyes of the sects and kuffaar.

I have no seen a book in refutation of the Christians like his 6 volume Jawaab as Saheeh li man Baddala deen al Maseeh nor his refutation of the Rawaafidh Shee'ah in his Minhaaj as Sunnah an Nubuwwah or his destruction of the Falaasifa and the Mu'tazilah and the Khawaarij and other than them.

Answer 5

Salah Uddin al Ayubi, scared the kuffar even today off their pants.

Answer 6

From the sahabah i like Hamzah, cuz he was a REAL man. but i don't think i have a fav. out of the ones that aren't sahabah.  

Answer 7

عمر بن عبد العزيز

grandchild of the sahib  OMAR BIN ALLAHABAD may Allah be pleased with him.

OMAR bin Abdulazeez  was the best of whom are not from the sahabas , if you don't know him do a little search

Answer 8

My favorite is Aladdin.

His picture can be viewed here:

Answer 13

i actually love alot of muslim figuires..

i actaully like my former islamics/quran/arabic teacher the best Mr.Ali,

he's not exactly historical but he really should be!

other wise i guess Umm Salamah but she's a sahabah1

i think i like Malcom X! he was a really good man! i love everything he did, even wen he went to jail, cuz otherwise he wouldn't be such a great islamic figuire1

Answer 14

Malcolm X.

He's not my favorite but he's one of them.

During the ages when black people were being hated against in America, he made Hajj and saw the brotherhood in Islam. He said Islam can change the way the white men and black men look at eachother.He came back a preached that Islam can cure the problems with racism.
