The Khulasa

This concise work is a summary of Imam Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi’s Ash-Shamail al-Muhammadiyya, a widely-acclaimed work which details different aspects of the character and lifestyle of Allah’s Messenger (May Allah bless him and grant him peace). Based primarily on the Moroccan scholar Sheikh Muhammad Abd Hayy al-Kattani’s summary entitled Munyat al-Saa’il, this book beautifully captures the essence of each chapter of the Shamail, allowing readers to draw ever closer to Allahs Messenger (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) and study his salient features, as though they are directly observing his blessed personage. In an era where Muslims are being detached from Allahs Messenger (May Allah bless him and grant him peace), the lifeline of a person’s belief, it is hoped this summary will help rekindle the flame of love for him and inspire readers to emulate his blessed example.
