Imam Malik ibn Anas lived through the Abbasid Revolution, a bloody affair in which they violently asserted their political authority over the Muslim world. Though pressured to bend the knee to the new rulers, Malik refused to compromise to tyranny.

Sheikh Muhammed Shirazi examines the political events which Imam Malik lived through, the struggle he faced, and his success in preserving the knowledge of the Deen despite difficulties.
