40 Hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari

This book is a selection of forty beautiful Hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari. 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 al-Bukhari. The themes of the Hadith will reflect the unique Hadith collection in Sahih al-Bukhari. 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 Hadith. It is hoped that this will open the doors for readers to enquire more about Hadith.
