Daily Wisdom : Sayings of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ

There was a time when the notion of Hadith rejection was inconceivable. Sad to say, it is now becoming a widespread phenomenon in many countries. The educated and the ignorant, veteran Muslims and reverts, the middle class as well as the elite are falling prey to the misleading ideas projected by the Hadith rejecters through books and other forms of publication. The Internet has, unfortunately, given them a new and effective platform. Emad Hamdeh has taken up the task of replying to these Hadith rejecters with sound and convincing arguments. The Necessity of the Hadith in Islam not only explains the need for the Hadith and the Sunnah at all times, but also presents and refutes the main arguments put forward by Hadith rejecters. Furthermore, Hamdeh has profiled the top few Hadith rejecters and summarized their ideas. This is a well-researched, well-referenced and comprehensive work, which provides useful information to those seeking more knowledge on the subject. It will also sufficiently answer many different questions which come to mind after reading some of the arguments of the Hadith rejecters. Muslims today need to read works such as these to ensure that they are not misled, especially through the Internet.

Imaam Muhammad Ibn’Isā Al-Tirmidhi (d.297H) | With accompanying Biography of the Prophet by Imam Al-Nawawi (d.676H)

If we truly love Allah, the Most High, it is incumbent that we obey his chosen Messenger, the best of Mankind, and the seal of all Prophets. Allah, the Most High instructs him to inform the people: “Say, “If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Most Forgiving and Merciful.” Aali-Imran 3:31

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing be upon him) said; “None of you will truly believe until I am more beloved to him than his family, his wealth and all of mankind.” Muslim 67

This precious work, penned by the famous scholar Imam at-Tirmidhi, in which he collected hadith relating to the Messenger (peace and blessing be upon him). This landmark work shines a light on the beauty of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him). It describes his noble appearance, persona, and attributes. You will come to know the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing be upon him) through the lens of his exalted companions. They were nurtured by him and spent their lives emulating him. He was their role model and an excellent example for all those who came after them.

Knowing the final Messenger (peace and blessing be upon him) is a requirement for every seeker of truth. This book is a must for every Muslim household, a text that should be studied in every school and madrassa

Islam is based on two major souces : the Quran and the Sunnah, and the latter is available to us in the form of hadiths. The Prophet said, “Whoever comes to know one hadith of mine should spread it.”

I have come to the realization that many youth from among the Muslims have not memorized even one hadith of the Prophet. For this reason I have chosen smaller hadiths so that they can be easily memorized by them and they can spread them to others.

I supplicate to Allah to make this book a source of light on the Day of Judgment for us.
