Forty Hadith On The Virtues Of The Testament To Faith

About The Book

In the stark realities and instabilities — both spiritually and physically — that we find ourselves floundering in, Imam an-Nabahani's summary of the virtues of the statement, "There is no god but Allah," allows us to recalibrate, to see clearly and stand at attention.

In his presentation of the prophetic narrations concerning the shahadah, he reinvigorates its importance in our hearts, and like this, he calls us to observe its splendidness and empower ourselves with its benefits.

The Imam's compilation is then not only a call to faith, but also a call to action, a signal to revive the proper understanding of our religion.
