Companion Abdullah ibn Qais "Abu Musa al-Ash'ari"

A reading of his biography through historical sources

Abstract

Since its early beginnings, especially during the early Islamic era (1-41 AH/622-581 AD), Arab Islamic history has witnessed the emergence of figures with a strong and tangible influence on intellectual, scientific, administrative and urban life. Therefore, these figures were considered the basic and practical pillar that many governors and leaders followed in managing the affairs of government in the areas under their administration. The figure of Abdullah bin Qais, known as Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, is considered one of the important figures who inspired these governors and who was a contemporary of the Noble Messenger, as he played a major role in preserving his hadiths and the Holy Quran, and in that he formed a school whose purpose was to preserve the religious heritage of Muslims at that time. He also played a major role in promoting the judicial work of the first Arab Islamic state during the Caliphate of Omar bin al-Khattab. He also contributed significantly to carrying out urban reforms and water constructions in a number of Islamic cities, the most famous of which are the cities of Basra and Kufa
