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 Imam 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 Imam, Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee, “Iqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm
al-‘Amal” (Knowledge Mandates Action).
In this treatise, the author gathers over
200 narrations from the Prophet, his Companions and the pious
predecessors on the virtue and obligation of acting upon knowledge. Thus
the work serves as an inspiration and encouragement to the readers,
guiding them to transfer whatever knowledge they gain of Islam into good
deeds and righteous actions. You will find this book filled with
beautiful admonitions and golden words of advice from our righteous
predecessors, inciting us to acquire knowledge and to then put it into
practice by way of acts of worship.
In addition to this, the great scholar of
Hadeeth of recent times, Imam Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee, has
reviewed the treatise and verified the narrations contained within it,
distinguishing the authentic from the weak. So this treatise is of great
benefit and deserving of being read and studied by every Muslim,
whether in gatherings or individually.
Lastly, due to the nature of verifying
narrations, many terms related to the Science of Hadeeth were employed
by Imam Al-Albaanee throughout the footnotes in the treatise.
Explanations of these terms and concepts can be found in the Glossary
section at the back of the book.
We ask Allah to make this publication a
guiding light to those who read it and an invaluable resource of
reference for those who study it and use it for research.
Important Note:
This book contains the Arabic text for
all of its narrations including the vowelization of all letters so as to
make it an easy to study reference-guide. It is the perfect book for
people to study in gatherings and circles or for one to just read on his
own and encourage himself to act upon his knowledge. May Allah accept
this effort.
