Forty Hadiths on Poisonous Social Habits With Short Commentaries – أربعون حديثا في العادات الإجتماعية المسمومة. By: Yahya M. A. Ondigo. Original Book Published By: IIPH – الدار العالمية للكتاب الإسلامي. Riyadh : Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
A brief Introduction about the Author:
Born into a strict Christian household in Kenya, Yahya Ondigo was always a man of faith. He went on to join the military, and it was during this time that he was given his first exposure to the Muslim way of life. When his questions about the Christian faith were left inadequately answered, and with the help of his elder brother who had recently converted to Islam, Ondigo’s search for the truth led him towards Islam.
About The Book:
In this unique collection of Forty Hadiths on Poisonous Social Habits, Yahya Ondigo emulates the tradition of Imam an-Nawawi and other great scholars. He has compiled hadiths (records of the guidance) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and briefly commented on each.
This well-researched and thoroughly documented book offers both Muslim and non-Muslim readers a clear understanding of how the divinely-inspired words and actions of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) apply to our contemporary societies. Such social ills as lying, greed, corruption, smoking, gambling and others have been discussed along with their social implications. After elaborating each issue, the author has offered wise and insightful advice to get rid of that particular social habit.
In this beautifully-worded piece, his deep faith in Islam shines through along with his love and concern for humanity. This compilation is meant to awaken our realization of the causes and effects of these poisonous habits so that perhaps we may be reminded, take admonition, and try to change our situations. As is the rule, Allah will not change the condition of a people either from bad to good, or vice versa, until the people change what is in themselves.
