Product Description

The 'hadith qudsi' are the sayings of the Prophet divinely communicated to him. The present collection has been compiled from all the available books of 'hadith'. The forty chosen here are all well authenticated and present many of the doctrinal, devotional, and ethical elements of Islam. A scholarly introduction deals fully with the subject and shows the way in which the 'hadith qudsi' differs from the Qur'an and from the Prophetic 'hadith'. This selection and translation has been made by the translators of "An-Nawawi's Forty Hadith". "Forty Hadith Qudsi" is regarded as a companion volume and has been printed in similar format with the original Arabic text given alongside the English translation.

The beautiful essence of Islam captured in 40 sayings
Hadith after the Quran are the most important source of guidance for Muslims. This book has 40 deep and beautiful hadith. The essence for me is portrayed by the Mercy of God, and his willingness to forgive a perpetually transgressing man/woman. This is an ideal book for Muslims and to a degree non-Muslims who already have some knowledge about islam. The language is clear and easy, and each saying is quite short, but with an encapsulated message. For Muslims, this is truly a book that transcends age and knowledge. For all it is a book than can be read lesson by lesson, maybe kept by the bed, reading one hadith a night, as something to ponder over. For the more inquisitive, each hadith can be delved in to in depth, gaining from it all the knowledge that is possible. All in all, this book is a must for Muslims, and a good read for those interested in Islam. In a word it is Inspirational.!!
