The knowledge and study of Hadeeth is essential for a correct understanding of Islaam.

However, none of them are like the collection of 40 Ahaadeeth by Abu Zakariyya Muhyi Ad-Deen ibn Sharaf An-Nawawi, may Allaah have mercy onhim, who brought together Prophetic narrations which incorporate the greatest precepts of Islaam. ... more

We often hear about cases of lunacy, constant headaches and stomach aches, insomnia, lethargy, hearing voices, sexual inability, sterility, frigidity, shattered marriages, woman’s continuous bleeding; and we often tend to have the undemanding answer that ’it is Allah (SWA), or, as the ignorant would put it, ’it is nature.’ Certainly, it is undisputable that anything in the Heavens and the Earth is managed by Allah, but we should not discard that Allah; has also commanded us to consider the causes of events.
