Book Description:

"Hadith are oral traditions relating to the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Hadith collections are regarded as important tools for determining the Sunnah, or Muslim way of life, by all traditional schools of jurisprudence. The Arabic plural is aḥadith.

This is not a book that can be read once and put away. Its intent is to be a solid reference for people of the faith. It helps to provide a better understanding of the journey of the faithful.

This is a collection of Sahih Bukhari Hadith that covers areas such as Institution of Prayer, Ethics, the State, Jihad, Fasting, Marriage and Divorce, etc... Ali is considered a reformer by many Muslim scholars, but the Hadith itself is lifted directly from the Bukhari collection, which some consider to be the most authentic source of Hadith. As with any commentary on noble Islamic texts, the opinions of Ali should be carefully considered by the reader. Yet one's opinion of the commentator should not change the fact that this collection IS Bukhari Hadith and covers many areas of life in a succinct and concise manner.
