The latest publication from ISINSOC is an extremely important work on hadith. It is a much needed text for the Western world because it elucidates on one of the most taught collections of hadith. Imam Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy upon him, was one of the great masters of hadith in Islamic History, and he compiled the most famous collection of forty hadith, known as Al-Arba’een. Each hadith is like a pillar of Islamic practice.


This text is the combination of the work of two masters of hadith, the original works of Imam Nawawi followed by a commentary by Ibn Daqiq. Its translation contains the original Arabic text in full as well as other Arabic quotes; including three hundred and sixty footnotes, which makes it an exceptional package. The work is an absolute must for all students of knowledge.
