This is an exciting publication on a very important subject: The excellence of al-Shām and its People. The aim of the book is to have a greater appreciation and understanding the role of al-Shām as our collective heritage through the presentation of 40 Hadith. We hope the work makes us reflect on the current crisis and a look into what the future holds.
