Introduction:

All the praises and thanks to Allah for allowing me to serve HIM by passing the message from HIM and HIS Holy Messenger. The idea to write this book in an easy, brief and a simple lesson format came to me when I was teaching children in the Quran Classes In An-Nur Masjid, Christchurch. Then, I received advice from many to write it to make it available for many beginners to grasp the basic yet comprehensive knowledge about Islam. I thought about busy Muslims, and I wrote it with simple questions and answers with the main message from the authentic Hadith. I think this book will give knowledge about the basics of Islam, and from this foundation of knowledge, the learners can widen their knowledge in future. May Allah accept this service, and I dedicate it to the pleasure of Allah only, and I do not seek any selfish return from it. May Allah accept it for the benefits of others in learning and practicing Islam. Ameen!

Why summary of Hadiths?

Modern life is very busy. Most Muslims can’t study full time in Islamic Institutions. To understand Islam, they must study Hadiths because Hadiths are the explanations of the Holy Quran. But most Muslims can’t study big volumes of Hadiths. (Definition of Hadith is in Lesson One). This book with one-page lessons is to make it easy for the Hadith study for busy Muslims. Each lesson has only a few questions to stimulate thinking and a brief answer with a Hadith. One-page lessons are to make it easy to go through the book without stress. When a reader can finish the book, he/she will gain a comprehensive knowledge of the Islamic way of life. Young, adult or revert Muslims needs knowledge about total Islamic way of life. I hope and pray, this book will help to achieve this goal Insha Allah (Allah Willing).
