Islam is the religion of llm, or knowledge, especially such knowledge as is related to the understanding of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad held that seeking knowledge was incumbent on every Muslim. According to a Hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas, the Messenger of Allah said, "For those who go on a quest for knowledge, Allah will smooth the path to Paradise: As the title suggests, this book is a compilation of 40 Hadiths which stress the importance of knowledge, learning, and teaching. The selection for this compilation has been made and rendered into English by Dr. Assad Nimer Busool. Dr. Busool is a prolific writer in English, Arabic and Hebrew.

The Hadith and the Sunnah are keys to understanding and implementing the ordinances of the Qur'an. The Qur'an presents to us a broad Idea of religious principles, and the Hadith and the Sunnah specify and clarify them for us and help us put them into practice in our daily life. Indeed, without the Hadith and the Sunnah, we cannot apply any of the rules of the Qur'an on, for example, Salah) Zakah, Hajj, inheritance, etc. This Anthology of Hadith Sharif contains over 240 Hadith divided into 24 themes. The author has selected at least ten Hadiths to represent each theme. This compilation aims to help Muslims comprehend the Islamic faith through the Hadith of the Prophet.

There are two main sources of Islamic knowledge: the Holy Quran and the collection of the recorded words, actions, and sanctions of the Prophet Muhammad which make up the sunnah. These are commonly referred to as hadith. While the Quran remains the foremost source of Islamic knowledge, the sunnah complements the teachings of the Quran and should be followed as the Quran indicates in the following verse: “And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it. And whatsoever he forbids, abstain (from it).” Thus, without a study of hadith, Muslims cannot complete their knowledge of their faith, and non-Muslims are unable to form a true picture of Islam and its fundamental spiritual, moral, legislative, and cultural principles.

This book contains only authentic, well-documented hadiths, which are presented in Arabic and translated into modern English.
