أين أنتَ يا عمرُ؟
يزخر تاريخ المسلمين بنماذج مشرقة، خلدت ذكرها بطيب صنيعها، وحلو معشرها، وعدلها واتزانها، لا تمل من ذكرهم وذكر سيرتهم، وذكر بطولاتهم وأمجادهم.. ليس هرباً من واقع أليم، يفتقر لأفذاذ مثلهم، بل استحضاراً لشؤونهم وأحوالهم، وكيف وصلوا إلى ما وصلوا، وأي الطرق سلكوا، وأي السبل اتبعوا، فتكون العبرة والفائدة، والغاية بعدها أن نقتفي خطواتهم، أملاً في […]
