Paperback - 122 pages (Compact/Flexi Cover),
by Imam Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani,
Translated and Edited by Habib Siddiqui.

Description :

Originally written in Arabic, this little work has remained unknown to the English-language reader. A collection of sayings and admonitions by Prophet Muhammad, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, other Prophets of Islam, Companions and great scholars of Islam, this book serves as an added reminder to the reader of his/her responsibilities as a Muslim.


Each chapter is arranged in such a way that the number of the chapter determines how many sentences are given in the paragraphs.


Reflecting on these words of wisdom and heeding these counsels will assist in infusing us with the requisite awareness and fervour to prepare for the Day of Judgement. Verliy, we are all in need of such counsel, for our Day of Judgment begins not when the world ends, but when our life comes to an end - which is indeed imminent - as the Prophet, Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam, stated.


The author has divided the book in a rare and unique format. All the sayings are in fact practical advice of preparing for the Hereafter. Every chapter commences with the Blessed Hadith of the Prophet, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, then the statement of the Khulafa e Rashiden, Sahaba-e-Kiram, Tabi'een and other earlier well known righteous Muslim personalities (Salaf as Saleheen, Awliya-Allah). It is crammed full of wisdom and gems and an absolute must for every Islamic household.
