The Black Knight: Miqdad

A biographical historical novel based on the life of al-Miqdad ibn Amr, one of the earliest believers and companions of the Messenger of God. Born outside the protection of lineage and known for a time by names not fully his own, Miqdad moves through a world shaped by patronage, power, silence, and survival. The narrative follows his formation before recognition: discipline before belief, restraint before authority, and alignment before ambition. Set across Mecca, the roads of migration, Badr, Uhud, Egypt, and the Mediterranean, the book presents strength as steadiness under pressure rather than conquest or display. It draws closely from the historical record while using dialogue and interior reflection to illuminate moral tension, consequence, loyalty, and restraint. Where the record speaks, the story follows; where it is silent, the narrative stays within context and known reality.
