The Art of Islamic Living: The Six Fitnesses

Six areas, one Islamic lifestyle

What is the best way to implement the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah in daily life? From where do we start? How do we ensure that every action of ours — whether at home, in the workplace, or at social gatherings — gains us Allah's pleasure and increases our good deeds? The Art of Islamic Living: The Six Fitnesses answers with a practical framework rather than a vague exhortation.
