This book is a selection of forty beautiful Hadith from Sahih Muslim. The Hadith are
accompanied with an easy to follow explanation accessible to readership of all
levels and all age ranges.
The aim
of this book is to give the reader a flavour of Hadith literature within Sahih
Muslim. The themes of the Hadith
will reflect the unique Hadith collection in Sahih Muslim. The idea is
to present a selection of Hadith showing various aspects of the Islamic
teachings. The Hadith will mainly reflect themes regarding manners and etiquettes, character
of a Muslim, exhortations and admonitions, remembrance of Allah, knowledge and
action and beliefs.
The goal is to select Hadith with the view to build character,
promote spirituality, morals, manners and ethics. Within this volume is a
simple discussion of the theoretical parameters of praiseworthy characters
every Muslim should aspire to achieve, supererogatory virtuous acts of worship,
and the moral philosophy (in particular normative ethics) of these Hadiths. It
is hoped that this will open the doors for readers to enquire more about
Hadith.
