Prophetic Traditions in Islam

Author: Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri | Paperback | 242 pages 

This collection of verses from the Qur’an and traditions from the Prophet and the Imams is unique in making available for the first time in English a comprehensive selection of Islamic teachings arranged according to topics that deal with belief and worship as well as the social and spiritual values which Islam upholds. As S.H. Nasr says in his preface, ‘From [this book] one can learn a great deal about the Islamic conception of God and prophecy, of worship and virtue, of the character of the Shi’ite Imams and even of early Islamic history.

Furthermore, one can also learn much about the human state, its origin and end, and the meaning of terrestrial existence and our role here on earth. The book therefore addresses itself not only to lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt and all Muslims, but in fact to all human beings, whatever their background may be, as long as they are attracted to the world of the Spirit and are in quest of meaning in their transient lives here on earth.’
