About The Book
This is Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse's first book. He wrote it when in his early twenties. It is considered one of the most important books for the followers of Islam, Iman and Ihsan. It is a poem that expresses the importance of good Adab (Manners) towards Allah and all of creation.
From The Back Cover:
The most excellence example of behavior and good manners has been left by the Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) was once given the choice of being either a Prophet-king, or a Prophet-servant and he chose the latter of the two. He was also given the choice of having the two biggest mountains of Mecca converted into gold for him, but he chose to remain as Allah had chosen chosen him, (i.e. to be sometimes rich and sometimes poor). Because of the humility displayed by the Prophet (PBUH) towards his Creator (SWT), he has been granted the highest position in the hereafter, the position known as "The Praiseworthy Position". The Prophet (PBUH) has also warned about the dangers arising from the pride of lineage. He advised both his daughter Fatima (R.A) and aunt Safiya (R.A) to do good work as much as any other, because their lineage would be of no use to them on the day of judgment without the good works. It is only Allah that can exalt a person. The Prophet (PBUH) has said, that when a servant of Allah excels in good work, he attains the love of Allah up to the point that Allah will call Angel Gabriel to announce to all creatures in the seven heavens and earth, that "Allah loves this servant so you all must love him as well".
