[CB] Farm Board Book (المزرعة)

This book offers twenty-four pieces of valuable advice to seekers of knowledge. It touches on all aspects of life, from material wealth and the love of this life to Islamic etiquette and acquiring knowledge.

The Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge … to adorn oneself with beautiful etiquette, noble manners, good behaviour, and pious conduct are distinguishing characteristics of the people of Islaam, and knowledge – the most precious pearl in the crown of the purified Shareeah – cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves with its etiquette and those who leave evil qualities associated to it. For this reason the scholars devoted their attention to this etiquette, outlined its importance and wrote books solely on this topic; either pertaining to (general conduct] with all types of knowledge or to specific types of knowledge such as the etiquette of the carriers of the Noble Quireaan, the etiquette of the muhaddith, the etiquette of the muftee, the etiquette of the qaadee (judge), the etiquette of the muhtasib (the one who enjoins good and forbids evil for the sake of Allaah) and so on. The issue of this book is the general conduct of those who take the path of seeking the knowledge of the Sharee’ah.

This book brings together forty powerful supplications from the Qur’an — prayers spoken by prophets, believers, and seekers across generations. Each du’a is explored in depth, helping readers not only recite the words, but understand the story, context, and spiritual wisdom behind them.
