Commentry on the al-Arba'in of Imam al-Nawawi; Lesson #01; Introduction

About the Series:
This is the First among the series of the Classical books studied in Sunni Islam from the Sciences of Qur'an, 'Aqida, Hadith, fiqh and many others insha Allah. This series is 'The Hadith Series' in which we took Imam al-Nawawi's Forty Hadith collection as the first.

Lesson #01: Introduction
The Shaykh explains in this lesson two of the most used terminologies in Islam; Shari'a and Sunnah. He also covers the Biography of Imam al-Nawawi.

About the al-Arba'in (Forty Hadiths):
Imam an-Nawawi assembled his collection of forty two ahadith together with the minimum of fiqh and commentary necessary for people not to misunderstand them. He says in his words:
"I, however, considered it best to bring together forty hadith more important than all of these, being forty hadith which would incorporate all of these, each hadith being one of the great precepts of religion, described by religious scholars as being "the axis of Islam " or "the half of Islam" or "the third of it ", or the like, and to make it a rule that these forty hadith be [classified as] sound and that the majority of them be in the Sahihs of Al-Bukhari and Muslim."


About the Shaykh:
