Kitab al‑Amal: The Highway to the Sunnah | May 4, 1995

Kitab al‑Amal: The Highway to the Sunnah — New Series Begins In this episode (Thursday evening meeting, 4th of May) we introduce a new series based on Shaykh Muz\'zilluhu\'s Kitab al‑Amal (also known as Kitab al‑Amal al‑Ma\'ruf / Kitab al‑Amal bil‑Sunnah / Tartib Sharif). The Shaykh presents the book as a practical, lifelong guide to reach Paradise by following the sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). The talk explains that the work is a carefully compiled collection of the Prophet's actions, duʿas, and nawāfil that require study and memorization. The presenter notes the power and beauty of the Shaykh\'s Urdu prefaces and the challenge of fully translating them into English, while assuring that the core sunnah and Qurʾanic citations can be rendered clearly. Key themes include sincere tawfīq from Allah to follow the sunnah completely, turning fully toward the Prophet\'s example as the true highway to Allah, the importance of wasīlah (seeking means to draw near to Allah), and the spiritual hierarchy of guides (anbiyāʾ, ṣiddīqīn, shuhadāʾ, ṣāliḥīn). The episode closes with dedication and blessings for the Prophet and mentions continuing the series after prayers.
