Very interesting book about the status and importance of the hadith and sunnah. The language is not hard to read and the book gives a lot of relevant information in only 77 pages, backed with ayahs from the Quran and ahadith. The following points are discussed:
- the importance of ahadith and sunnah on the formation of a unique religious climate, giving rise to a similarly unique Muslim community
- the importance of ahadith and sunnah on one's character and life
-importance of ahadieth and sunnah setting standards of morality and behaviour
- the important imams such as Imam Buhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi,... Their lives, what they have done for Islam and how they did it
-disciplines introduced to collect Hadith: different filtering and checking techniques for sorting out authentic ahadith. You understand that collecting ahadith was not just an ear-to-ear job. At the time, they collected almost all possible information about the reporters: their names, characters, truthfulness and how good their memories were.
- you learn that there is a biography of no less than five hundred thousand people
-the reporters were graded according to their character, habits, morality, manners and whatever was relevant to assigning to each of them their grades of reliability
- comparing earlier prophets and religions and showing how people could not retain their purity, because they did not manage to retain reliable accounts of the life of their prophets
and more!
Quote from the book: "The Sunnah is the iron framework of the House of Islam; and if you remove the framework of a building, can you be surprised if it breaks down like a house of card?"
