Designed as a reference guide and a source of inspiration, this volume presents a clear and elegant English translation of Imam al-Nawawi's classic, together with the text of every single prayer and invocation, both in Arabic letters and in romanisation. Also included are all the author s statements about those Hadiths which he related personally from his own teachers, and his guidance on the correct spelling and meanings of rare words and names. Finally, al-Nawawi's comments on the sources of Hadiths are supplemented by further scholarly notes.
