Knowledge and Wisdom is a collection of forty short essays by Imam Abd Allah ibn Alawi al-Haddad, written with the modern reader in mind—accessible without losing the seriousness of its subject.

The thread running through these essays is the Hereafter: the destination awaiting every person, believer and denier alike. Rather than one long treatise, the book offers forty distinct entry points into this theme, so a reader can take it in small portions—a few pages at a time—and still come away with something to sit with.

This is the 2017 edition from Ihya Publishing. For readers meeting Imam al-Haddad for the first time, or returning to reflect on the reality of what comes after this life, it offers a serious and unhurried place to begin.
