(E-Book) 30 Ways To Attain Happiness (3rd Edition)

Here is the city of palm dates and lively hearts; here lives his heart. It is his place, his city, his people. It is the city in which everything came alight when he arrived. Its people and its very nature loved him. Here is Mount Uhud with which he had a relation of mutual love. These narrow alleyways will recognize his footsteps.

Here will be his mosque and adjacent to it will be his small rooms.

But here in the mosque will also gather a great band of men, eager to follow him and do his bidding. With them he will have a pure relation of mutual love. He is always with them; but his special relation is with God…We will look at Prophet Muhammad’s management of his day, hour by hour, to gain an insight into the simplicity of his great life, the spontaneity of his serious life, the perfect balance between his activities and the fulfillment of complementary needs.

Commentary on the Forty Hadith of Imam Al-Nawawi Timeless Prophetic Gems of Guidance and Wisdom.

The collection of the Forty Ahadith by Al-Imam Al-Nawawi has been known, accepted, and appreciated by Muslim scholars over the last seven centuries. Its significance lay in the fact that these selected forty-two Ahadith constitute Islam’s most essential and fundamental concepts. And these prophetic gems also reflect the minimum level of knowledge needed for each and every Muslim. This work provides the reader with a simple and practical exegesis of each Hadith through the Qur’an, other Ahadith, and commentary of various classical scholars. This work also presents discussions on many contemporary issues: connecting the Prophetic advices relatable to real-life situations and practical implications in current times. This commentary aims to lead oneself to better understand and practice these indispensable Ahadith in their lives.

Let me say, with full conviction, that there is no chance for us, nor for any nation, to occupy a respectable place among the advanced nations without raising our cultural awareness – we are living in the age of knowledge, and we cannot do without information and books. Therefore, raising children who are really fond of reading is our first and foremost challenge – and it will take all our commitment to succeed there. Having this in mind I propose to tackle this issue in a book; and, as in the previous volumes in the series, I try to come upon solutions for the difficult dilemma – giving special attention to being true to the requirements of accuracy and reliability; maintaing, at the same time, an accessible and smooth reading. In which I hope to bring these concepts within the comprehension of a wide readership as possible.

It is noteworthy that there exist today, many educational books of good value as well as inferior ones; a fact that has caused many people to be confused in the choice of books to enrich their ability to train their children wisely and successfully.

One the other hand, the list of needs that are considered necessary for education has now expanded very greatly. And we know well that when things considered to be crucial needs have reached a hundred or two, one naturally feels a weakness to confront the challenge of providing them; which may even cause one to turn away partly or completely.

From this standpoint, my thoughts have been arrested by the need for me to discuss the master key in interacting with young people and training them, which is the mother. Perhaps by this, I will help my reader to possess and expand his latitude in understanding the psychology of child upbringing and methodology.
