SUMMARY:The Forty Hadith: Compiled by Imam al-Nawawi | Ustadha Nihad Hemmoudeh
DESCRIPTION:Ustadha Nihad Hemmoudeh facilitates a 45-minute live Zoom session for sisters (posted the following day publicly on MCC’s YouTube\, Facebook\, and Instagram) about the collection of the Forty Hadith\, compiled by al-Imam al-Nawawi.\n\n1:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. PST | Tuesdays | 12 consecutive weeks from September 20 to December 6 | No pre-registration needed | Join live each week at 1:30 p.m. on Zoom at https://mcceastbay.org/hadith\n\n 	– Watch past sessions at https://mcceastbay.org/nawawi\n 	– PDF of 40 Hadith: https://mcceastbay.org/40\n\nImam al-Nawawi’s compilation of forty hadiths of Prophet Muhammad\, peace be upon him\, is considered by scholars as a compilation conveying the most holistic and comprehensive understanding of Islam.\n\nThis series will elaborate on the collection of the Forty Hadith\, compiled by al-Imam al-Nawawi. Everyone desiring to attain the Hereafter should know these narrations for the critical information they contain\, the guidance they provide\, and the light they shed on the lives of Muslims.\n\nAttending this 12-week weekly course will teach attendees about the ahaadeeth and the commentary for each Hadith.\n\nThe weekly live session is for sisters only. Boys & girls ages 7 to 14 are welcome to join. Join the live session at 1:30 p.m. every Tuesday at https://mcceastbay.org/hadith\n\n 	– Ustadha’s Nihad’s “Pearls of Islam: The Wives of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)” series: https://mcceastbay.org/pearls-series\n 	– Ustadha Nihad’s Surah al-Kahf series: https://mcceastbay.org/kahf\n 	– Ustadha Nihad’s Juz Amma series: https://mcceastbay.org/quran-tafseer\n 	– Hafidha Nihad’s Sahaba (Companions) Series Sessions: https://mcceastbay.org/companions-series\n 	– Ust. Nohad’s Al-Nawawi Hadith Series: https://mcceastbay.org/nawawi\n 	– More Ustadha Nohad: https://mcceastbay.org/nihad\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\nImam al-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith have come to be known as the most comprehensive and holistic compilation/collection of Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) that convey the essence of Islam. Imam al-Nawawi’s collection of 40 Hadiths is one of the most important collections of hadiths we have today. He compiled a total of 42 hadiths for this collection\, not 40. Allah (SWT) granted him blessing and success in his work so that he could make significant contributions to Islam before passing away at a relatively young age. The Imam was a scholar in many different disciplines of Islamic studies. The vastness of his works in these other areas is so great that if an individual decides to study fiqh\, hadith\, spirituality\, or Quran\, one must pass through Imam al- Nawawi. Along with the 40 Hadiths\, he authored Riyad al-Saliheen\, Al-Adhkar\, and commentary of Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari.
