People say history is boring. Then one man decided to rectify the fabrication from the history by constructing a beautiful light romantic story around the history.

This book explains that how one man can challenge the superpower with bravery, passion and strategy.

Story of a Muslim Rural who had limited resources, limited space, no strategic depth, no large army, but a super intelligent brain and a bid brave heart.

A person who is regarded as inventor of the modern day rockers

Inventor of modern day cannon

A scientist, a strategist and a military genius.

Nasim Hijazi explain the story of Tipu Sultan in a way that combines the lust of fiction and the truth of non fiction together.

Well for those of you who do not know, this book is continuation of Moazzam Ali by Naseem Hijazi. There are few links between these two books but you can read it as standalone book.


Well I have this habit of comparing Book that I read with best of that same author. In that case I think Muhammad Bin Qasim (MBQ) was his best offering. I personally thought that like Akhri Chattan this book was prolonged. The Fictional part of this book was no where near goods as that of MBQ. Historic events were no doubt well showcased with the courage of Tipu Sultan and traitorship of Ministers of his Kingdom.

I've got no words to exactly describe what I'm feeling right now. Only tears can. Each and every Muslim ruler should read this, I believe.

A typical Hijaazi history novel where hero is always Muslim. He is an honest, brave and ideal for others.

This book is written by my favorite writer Naseem Hijazi.
I loved this book as it was on my favorite personality Sultan Tipu. This book is part 2 of Muazzam Ali,another book.
Tipu Sultan, also known as Tipu Sahab or the Tiger of Mysore, was the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore based in South India and a pioneer of rocket artillery.
This book has explained beautifully struggle of Sultan Tipu. Sultan Tipu has fought against East India company and other rivals He was last wall of India against British Empire.He was a true Muslim and brave warrior. Kingdom of Mysore had reached its apex under his rule.
When he was dead,English people were afraid of him. English people could not even remove sword from his hand. Other fictional characters in this book were also great.

State of the art Book.
My father recommend this book to me, when i was in college, as he also read it when he was in his early 20s.

One of the best book of a Muslim Ruler, Tipu Sultan and his loyal circle. I don't want to spoil as some of new generation already has to read it.

Eloquently Written. Only some writers have the art to write history so well that it teleports you to the past and Naseem Hijazi is one of them!

Always been a fan of nasim hijazi but now I think I'm just addicted to his writing. It gave me an another perspective towards the purpose of life. It made me realize how important it is study our leaders. How important it is to have knowledge of Muslim values in this sophisticated world of tech.

That was an Amazing Book. I read it when I was very busy and I had to travel in public transport. Days spent in buses and nights in reading amazing struggle of Sultan Fatah Ali Khan Tipu.
