Full Description
This
book is a selection of forty beautiful Hadith from Sunan Abu Dawud. 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 Sunan
Abu Dawud. The themes of the Hadith
will reflect the unique Hadith collection in Sunan Abu Dawud. 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.
