About the book: Worship is the purpose of our existence. Allah Almighty says, ‘I have not created man or jinn except to worship Me.’ This book deals with the second element of the religion and provides a more detailed explanation of obedience. Al-Nasâih al-Dîniyyah is based on the classic work by Imam Al Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum al-Deen [Revival of the Religious Sciences]. It follows the same structure as the Ihya and is written in a simple and accessible format.
Words from Al-Habib Hasan Al-’Attas, who is the Imam of the Ba’alawi Mosque in Singapore: ‘Al-Nasaih Al-Dinyyah is a book designed for the laymen to make him both more knowledgeable and a better person. It uses pearls of wisdom from the Quran and tradition of the Messenger, along with simple and lucid explanations. Imam Al-Haddad leads the reader away from the world of darkness towards a world of brightness, tranquillity and happiness.’
