A short biography of the third Khalif of the Muslims, a noble man whom the Prophet loved. Known for his gentleness and modesty, 'Uthman ibn 'Affan came to be called 'he of the two lights' because he was married to two of the Prophet's daughters, at different times. During his time as Khalif, he ensured that the written record of the Qur'an was accurate and preserved. Illustrated in colour.
