This text presents a wide selection of authentic traditions from the Prophet (S) and the Ahl al-Bayt ('a), arranged by theme for clarity. It covers faith, worship, moral values, and social duties. Sayings on knowing Allah, sincerity, prayer, and remembrance are followed by guidance on piety, patience, and gratitude.
It addresses family ties, care for orphans, kindness to neighbours, and support for the poor.
