40 Hadith from Sunan Abu Dawud

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.
