The aim of this book is to give the reader a flavour of Hadith literature within Sunan Abu Dawud.  The themes of the Hadith will reflect the unique Hadith collection in Sunan Abu Dawud. The idea is to present a selection of Hadith showing various aspects of the Islamic teachings. The Hadith will mainly reflect themes regarding manners and etiquettes, character of a Muslim, exhortations and admonitions, remembrance of Allah, knowledge and action and beliefs. The goal is to select Hadith with the view to build character, promote spirituality, morals, manners and ethics. Within this volume is a simple discussion of the theoretical parameters of praiseworthy characters every Muslim should aspire to achieve, supererogatory virtuous acts of worship, and the moral philosophy (in particular normative ethics) of these Hadiths. It is hoped that this will open the doors for readers to enquire more about Hadith.  About The Author Dr Shahrul Hussain is a Lecturer in Islamic studies and Head of Research at Ibn Rushd Centre of Excellence for Islamic Research.
