Translated by Abdassamad Clarke.




Description :

Taken from the Kitab al-Jami’ by Imam al-Qayrawani, this book provides valuable insights into the life and practices of the early Muslim community who followed closely the example of the Prophet Muhammad, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, and his noble companions, Radi Allahu ta'ala anhum.


It reveals the noble qualities of character as exemplified by the men and women of Madinah, who held on to these qualities regardless of their circumstances. Knowledge of the tradition which stems from the “best community brought out to mankind” puts us in a position to recreate such a community.
