This book is quite simply a remarkable and amazing book. If you don't know anything about Islam, start with this book. If you thought you knew a thing or two about Islam, read this book and you will discover a whole lot that you had no clue about. If you know a lot about Islam, either as a muslim or a non-muslim, and haven't read this book, read it and you will discover dimensions that you never knew existed. The translation is superb, and its publication has been done in a most scholarly fashion which meets the highest standards. For those who are familiar with classical Arabic, you can find the entire Arabic version printed beautifully to your delight. Do yourself a very big favor and start reading this book as soon as possible. My most sincere thanks to the translators of this book.

Want a taste of real Islam? This is it. I've read other books of hadith (sayings) but this one, which covers what are called "Holy hadith", sayings of God reported from his various prophets and other mystics, is beautiful. The sayings are simple and direct prescriptions for a sweet spiritual life. I bought the paperback English version and then discovered that the hardback version also includes the Arabic as well as the English. So I bought that too! The translations are great. The lettering is very readable. I'm glad I found this. Peace & Blessings to you.
