The Ministers Around the Prophet (PBUH) compiled by Abdul Aziz As-Shanawi is an English biography collection that profiles key Sahabah (companions) who served as trusted ministers, advisors, and close associates of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Rather than a single narrative of the Prophet’s life, this book focuses on individual companions whose service, counsel, and unwavering dedication helped support the Prophet ﷺ and early Islamic community through major events and decisions. Each profile presents authentic historical accounts of their character, contributions, and unique roles in the early Muslim state, making it valuable for readers interested in the leadership qualities, personal sacrifices, and spiritual commitment of those closest to the Messenger ﷺ.
