Description :
'The Devotion of Imam al-Nawawi' :
From Text to Tradition, Making the Profane, Sacred.
Written by one of the most celebrated scholars in Islamic History,
The Devotion of Imam al-Nawawi is a beautiful remembrance and a gift from God to the community of His Beloved,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. It is highly respected and widely accepted by all spiritual paths. Among its many benefits is the subtle way it helps to purify intentions, facilitate aspirations, and give access to spiritual perfection. It asks for the protection for one's family, children, possessions and freinds against all harm.
''
by God's will, those who recite the devotion will be within
God's special protection and providential care.''
This translation is accompanied by an introduction and commentary that seeks to provide the seeker of God with a deeper undertstanding of this devotion and of remembrance (
dhikr) in general.
Review :
"This famous devotion of Imam al-Nawawi, an independent (
mujtahid) jurist and traditionist of unimpeachable orthodoxy, has been recited by thousands upon thousands of Muslims over the centuries. A figure unanimously revered by Muslims of all denominations, he was undoubtedly the "Renewer" (
mujadid) of his century. This translation is a necessary and long overdue addition to the Muslim library. A lucid and robustly referenced introduction and commentary considerably heighten its value."
---Dr. Mostafa al-Badawi.
Imam an Nawawi,
alayhi ar-Rahman w'al-Ridwan, [631–676
A.H. /1234–1277
C.E.] is one of the great Sufi scholars, strictest latter-time
hadith
masters, and most meticulous of jurists, 'Shaykh al-Islam' al-Imam Muhyiddin
Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi is with
al-Rafi`i as the principal reference of the late
Shafi`i school.
His books remain authoritative in the methodology of the law, in Qur'an
commentary, and in
hadith. His commentary of
Sahih Muslim is second
only to Ibn Hajar's commentary of
Sahih Bukhari. Allah Almighty gave his
famous compilation of Forty
Hadiths more circulation and fame than
possibly any other book of
hadith, large or small, and has allowed
an-Nawawi to be of immense benefit to the Community of Islam.
