Improve your Spirituality

By Mohammed Sajid Khan

How to help ourselves achieve a higher level of spirituality and, as a result, help our Ummah? The reasons for the unacceptable status of our Ummah on the world scene and the impact of our individual practices and a lack of awareness are addressed. How can we help reform ourselves and our Ummah? This book is a collection of discussions of Traditions related to our everyday individual life and our Ummah in general. The areas of improvement and critical aspects of spirituality are discussed, and what needs to change in our practices and daily lives has been suggested.  I am grateful to Mufti Rashid Mahmood Raja, whose material has given me a basis for this work.

Preface

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent and Most Merciful, and peace and blessings be upon His noble messenger Mohammed Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam. The messenger of Allah (PBUH): خَيْرُكُمْ مَّنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهٗ meaning The best amongst you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it.

Here is a book that provides a selection of Hadiths (traditions) from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and their application in our thought process and for use in our daily lives. This is the first of the volumes that Mufti Rashid Mahmood Raja has taken from Maulana Badar Alam Meerathi's work, added and completed references, and additional material. I have further edited and added some material for completeness as I thought appropriate.

I have worked with Mufti Rashid for a year and have learned several things related to Arabic Grammar and the Tafseer of the Qur'an. His knowledge and depth of Arabic grammar and background in the Holy Qur'an are impressive. May Allah reward both the author and him immensely.

Mufti Rashid desired that this book be a good time to be brought to the electronic media and make it available internationally by publishing through Amazon. So he asked me to take this task, and I have complied for the love of our deen. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala accept this humble effort.
