The collection of Forty Hadith by Imam Nawawi has been recognized, accepted, and appreciated by Muslim scholars for the last seven centuries. Its significance lay in the fact that these selected forty Hadith comprise the main essential and fundamental concepts of Islam. And these are the unique Hadith which are the minimum level of knowledge required for every Muslim. Various principles are contained therein such as belief, Muslim ethics, and Fiqh, etc. Thus, it is very important to have a good understanding of these Hadith based on scholarly interpretations. This book provides a simple and practical commentary on the Hadith of Imam Nawawi's collection. It is hoped that this commentary will lead the Muslim to better understand and practice the Hadith in his or her life.

This groundbreaking practical framework incorporates Islāmic spirituality, religion, and cultural contexts into the therapeutic process. It makes the case that authentic Islāmic spirituality, based on submission to God, forms the cornerstone of good mental health. The book’s foundation focuses on the therapist’s role and ethical considerations specific to Islāmic psychotherapy. It explores the integration of Qur’ânic teachings and hādīths and delves into dream interpretation and the clinical applications of the Siraat Al-Islāmic psychotherapy practice model. This thoroughly revised new edition also highlights advances and developments in scholarship and evidence-based practices and introduces postmodern psychotherapy approaches like narrative and hope therapy. This text provides a clear understanding of the nature, scope, and process of Islāmic psychotherapy for Islāmic practitioners or clinicians working with Muslim clients.
The Islamic community boasts of being one united community. Its cornerstone belief is Tawheed (Oneness of G-d). Its fundamental principle is the Unity of G-d, and this speaks to the unity of humanity. Yet when you look at the Islamic community over its almost fifteen century history; racism, prejudice, bias, and discrimination have continued to prevail. I argue that the Islamic community has suffered fragmentation, as a result of this artificial divide. Therefore, the one united community has been more of an ideal than reality. I contend that really understanding the concept of Tawheed is the true answer--the bridge--as it were--to overcoming this artificial divide, the divide that separates the immigrant Muslim from the African American Muslim.

This handbook answers these difficult questions and helps behavioral health practitioners provide religio-culturally-competent care to Muslim clients living in territories such as North America, Australia, and Europe. The issues and interventions discussed in this book, by authoritative...
Islamic counselling is a form of counselling which incorporates spirituality into the therapeutic process.
