FOREWORD

All praises are due unto Allah Ta’aala, our Creator, Sustainer and

Nourisher.

Durood and Salaam be upon our master and guide Nabi

Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص.

This booklet “FORTY AHAADEETH” contains advices and

instructions from the teacher of mankind; Sayyidina

Muhammadur Rassulullah Sallallaahu Alayhi wa Sallam.

Our success in both worlds is dependent on his teachings and

guidance. No Muslim can show independence from the Mubaarak

words, instructions and guidance of Rasulullah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص.

It is hoped that Inshaa Allah Ta’aala, this compilation will

rekindle love and obedience to the Sunnah of our beloved master

and spur us on to learn more Ahaadeeth and to apply them in ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

our lives.

These forty Ahaadeeth have been chosen from a vast variety of

topics. The learning of forty Ahaadeeth is apparent from the very

first Hadeeth in this compilation.

2

May Allah Ta’aala accept this compilation, grant one and all the

full benefit of these Ahaadeeth and make it a means of our

salvation in the Hereafter, Aameen.
