Commentary on the Forty Hadith of Imam Al-Nawawi Timeless Prophetic Gems of Guidance and Wisdom.

The collection of the Forty Ahadith by Al-Imam Al-Nawawi has been known, accepted, and appreciated by Muslim scholars over the last seven centuries. Its significance lay in the fact that these selected forty-two Ahadith constitute Islam’s most essential and fundamental concepts. And these prophetic gems also reflect the minimum level of knowledge needed for each and every Muslim. This work provides the reader with a simple and practical exegesis of each Hadith through the Qur’an, other Ahadith, and commentary of various classical scholars. This work also presents discussions on many contemporary issues: connecting the Prophetic advices relatable to real-life situations and practical implications in current times. This commentary aims to lead oneself to better understand and practice these indispensable Ahadith in their lives.

Let me say, with full conviction, that there is no chance for us, nor for any nation, to occupy a respectable place among the advanced nations without raising our cultural awareness – we are living in the age of knowledge, and we cannot do without information and books. Therefore, raising children who are really fond of reading is our first and foremost challenge – and it will take all our commitment to succeed there. Having this in mind I propose to tackle this issue in a book; and, as in the previous volumes in the series, I try to come upon solutions for the difficult dilemma – giving special attention to being true to the requirements of accuracy and reliability; maintaing, at the same time, an accessible and smooth reading. In which I hope to bring these concepts within the comprehension of a wide readership as possible.

“In this treatise, we wish to present certain concepts, tools and methods that will help the family to establish communication among its members; because next to Allah’s grace, it is communication that a family needs most to have mutual understanding, cohesion and success. And we would be unfair to ourselves if we find our families disintegrating before our very eyes, when there are several books and experiences that should have helped us to protect and make them choice families, happy and strong. I have tried to make this a good addition to what circulates around of literature on child upbringing available to parents. And because this work is addressed to a very wide audience, among whom are the educated and the semi-educated, I have striven to see that my expressions are as simple as possible; even though expressing ideas that have philosophical content in very simple language could do some kind of injustice to their meaning. This is why this attempt of ours is bound to still be imperfect; but sufficient it is that I have tried to aim clearly and closely as best I can.”

This book deals exclusively with the subject of moral etiquette in Islam, focusing on the customs and traditions of the early Muslims.

Al Adab Al Mufrad is Imam al-Bukhari’s second most well known work, which contains 644 sections with 1322 ahaadith and narrations from the pious predecessors. It comprises benefits from the daily life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his companions, and the early Muslims.

You may expect a fascinating insight into how one should behave as practiced by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his companions, and the Aimmah of the Tabi’in from the following generation. It tackles a variety of issues; from dealing with specific family members, to how to write letters, as well as how to go shopping, or even on how to walk properly. The unique depth and importance of this book makes it an undeniable classic, covering all areas of life. One would become a model citizen for others by following this true guidance and adapting these great characters.

Al Adab Al Mufrad deserves the most attention after the book Sahih Al Bukhari by the one who seeks to follow the sunnah of beloved Prophet (PBUH).
