In the perfection of faith, lofty thoughts often lift our gaze from the experiences of everyday life. But there is no greater devotion than to be mindful of what is prescribed for even the most seemingly trivial matters. The genuine seeker knows that divine guidance touches the most intimate details of daily life; if this guidance is not esteemed, how can faith be perfected? The Quran leaves no doubt as to the believer's duty of obedience, a duty that begins as soon as the day begins. A modest collection of hadith is offered herein to urge consideration of the example, orders, and admonitions of the Prophet (SAW) specifically concerning everyday occasions. The Arabic text and source accompany the translation of each hadith, and commentary is respectfully avoided in deference to the sufficiency of the sunnah itself.

In the perfection of faith, devotion to Allah must be founded on the utmost purity, as shown by the Prophet's (SAW) rigorous example and attention to detail in this endeavor. Here is a compilation of over 500 short excerpts that address the many kinds of impurity and harm that continually threaten a devoted Believer, and how one must continually guard against this. This guidance is taken directly from the Qur'an, tafsir, sunnah, and scholarly commentary; each excerpt is given as a straightforward translation in parallel with the original Arabic text. This compilation is the most convenient resource available to English readers who sincerely seek to understand and observe a life of purity.
