Description :

This book is meant to be a Muslim’s handbook to change the world. It provides the most relevant Hadiths that Muslims in the 21st century and beyond need to maximise their potential, serve their community, and leave a legacy.


Aided with a commentary and a list of actionable items for each hadith, these hadiths provide a framework that answers the most relevant questions for activists and community leaders: The WHY (The spiritual element), the WHAT (the social and political responsibility), the HOW (The Fiqh and Adab guidelines), the WHO (tips on building successful teams), and the WHILE (self-care advice).

For all those who have goals beyond their own selves and aspire to make an impact, guided by prophetic wisdom, this book is for you!

Dr. Mohannad Hakeem is an author, research engineer, and speaker from Lebanon who has studied traditionally under multiple scholars in the Muslim world for the past 20 years.


He currently resides in Dearborn, Michigan, USA where he helped establish multiple community initiatives and organizations, with focus on youth empowerment and education. His most recent book, the '40 Hadith on Community Service and Activism,' draws inspiration from Prophetic wisdom to give Muslim communities a blueprint for leaving an impact in this world and hopefully in the hereafter.
