"The Guidance of Muhammad ﷺ In His Acts of Worship Transactions and Morals"

The book "The Guidance of Muhammad ﷺ in His Acts of Worship, Transactions, and Morals" which Dr. Ahmed bin Othman Al-Mazyad abridged from the timeless classic "Zad al-Ma'ad" by Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya presents a comprehensive and practical guide that revives the Prophetic Sunnah in the life of the contemporary Muslim. Written in a refined yet clear style, it is free from complex jurisprudential debates and lengthy chains of transmission. The book highlights the Prophetic guidance in the finest daily details, starting with the rules of purification, etiquettes of relieving oneself, the description of ablution (Wudu), Tayammum (dry ablution) and wiping over socks. It then provides a detailed account of how the Prophet ﷺ performed prayer including opening supplications, recitation, postures, and post-prayer remembrances along with voluntary prayers, night prayers (Qiyam al-Layl), Friday prayers, Eid prayers and prayers performed for specific reasons such as solar eclipses, rain-seeking (Istisqa) and fear. Furthermore, the book seamlessly covers funeral rites, preparing the deceased, funeral prayers, burial etiquettes, condolences and visiting graves, in addition to his guidance in Zakat, Zakat al-Fitr, voluntary charity, fasting rules, Itikaf (spiritual retreat) and the rituals of Hajj and Umrah. This makes the book an all-encompassing, accessible reference for every Muslim striving to follow the example of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in all aspects of life.
