Generally regarded as the single most authentic collection of hadiths, Sahih al-Bukhari covers almost all aspects of life in providing proper guidance from the Messenger of Allah. This book is the work of over 16 years by Imam al-Bukhari who before writing any hadith in this book performed two rak'ahs prayer of guidance from Allah and when he was sure of the hadith's authenticity, he wrote it in the book.

An interesting book contains more than eighty means of da'wah in different fields of our life such as da'wah at home, masjed, school and work in addition to various means of da'wah. These books teach us that we should not confine da'wah to masjed but it should far exceed it to include all life's fields. Based on these means of da'wah, we can direct da'wah to everyone by easy ways. We should know that da'wah is a responsibility of every Muslim, the issue which encourages us to use these means efficiently.
Iqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal By Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee. This is the second book in the "Classical Knowledge Series", which is a collection of selected scholarly works from the past that deal with the subject of religious knowledge. The first book in this blessed series was “The Book of Knowledge” written by Imaam Abu Khaithamah Zuhayr bin Harb An-Nasaa’ee (Died 234H), may Allah have mercy on him. Since that book served as an introduction to knowledge, its virtues, merits and manners, it seemed proper that the second book be dedicated to the next level of knowledge, which is its result and outcome, and that is righteous deeds. And what better work to present on this subject than the classic and well-known treatise of the distinguished Imaam, Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee, 'Iqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal' (Knowledge Mandates Action).

Are humans capable today of guiding themselves without referring to the methods set out by the Messengers? This comprehensive work which is full of clear proofs and evidences from the pure teachings of Islam, is an essential reading for all Muslims and seekers of truth.
