Forty Hadith on Prayer

Forty Hadith on Prayer is an inspiring and beautifully presented compilation of forty authentic prophetic narrations (Ahadith) that focus on the importance, virtues, etiquettes, and spiritual dimensions of Ṣalāh (prayer)—the second pillar of Islam. Carefully compiled by Abu Hamza Abdul Khaliq Siddiqui and translated into clear, accessible English by Najwa Jaffer, this full-color paperback edition features the original Arabic text alongside its English translation, providing a deeper reflection and study experience. Each hadith is supported by trustworthy source references in the footnotes, enabling students and seekers of knowledge to connect directly with the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ regarding the obligation and excellence of prayer. Prayer in Islam is central to a believer’s life; it purifies the heart, strengthens the connection with Allah, serves as a shield against sins, and anchors the soul in consistency and devotion. Authentic narrations in this book highlight how prayer is not only a ritual but a basis of faith, a source of inner peace, and a criterion that will be asked about on the Day of Judgment — thus making this collection an essential resource for every Muslim who seeks to understand and perfect their prayer in light of the Prophetic Teachings. This compact yet powerful guide blends guidance, reflection, and spiritual inspiration, making it ideal for individual study, classroom settings, Islamic circles, and as a gift that nurtures worshipful living.

The Messenger of Allah said, May Allah bless a man who hears a Hadith from us, and memorizes it so that he can convey it to others, for perhaps he is conveying it to one who will understand it better than him, and perhaps the one who conveys knowledge does not understand it himself.
