Knowledge, Action & Education

The book also highlights the importance of having a correct perception of affairs, educating and cultivating people properly, combining knowledge with action, and maintaining care, precision, and sound methodology when calling others to Islaam.

Carefully Selected Ahaadeeth

The author explains that considerable effort was made in selecting the Ahaadeeth, providing source references, examining their chains of narration, and assigning meaningful chapter headings. His own commentary is kept brief so that the Ahaadeeth themselves remain at the heart of the work.

conflict with the correct way laid down by the Prophet (); and all this comes as a confirmation of his () saying, "I have left you upon clear proof, its night is just like its day, no one deviates from it after me except one who is destroyed..."2
"So whoever takes hold of this clear proof, and remains firm with these evidences upon the methodology of the Sharee'ah, will be safe in his Deen in the near and distant future. He will have clung to the firm hand-hold that will never break, and will have protected himself with a dependable shield so that he enjoys its protection, receives its blessings, and it produces an admi- rable result in the Hereafter and in this world if Allaah wills."3
I have been careful when quoting these ahaadeeth to provide the necessary source references and checking, following the precise and scholarly way of the People of Hadeeth, and in accordance with their sound method in the study of chains of narration and in passing judgement upon it (the hadeeth in question) as demanded by the hadeeth sciences - whilst trying to be brief and not going into great detail.
As regards the texts of the ahaadeeth, I have expended great effort in select- ing them and carefully supplying chapter headings for them. I have not writ- ten down any of my own words except where that was necessary in order to connect the ahaadeeth like the links of a chain - each one joined to the
next.
If these forty ahaadeeth were to be explained fully in detail then our book would become a fair-sized volume, and perhaps that will be done in the future if Allaah ordains it - if there is time in ones' life.
Finally, I do not intend by this work of mine except to show the truth, and to lead to correct guidance - and for these two goals brevity is sufficient.
