40 on Justice by Omar Suleiman

This is the compilation of Sheikh Omar Suleiman's highly popular '40 Ahadith on Social Justice' lecture series. 

This book will take you on a journey through Islam’s rich heritage and the guidance it provides us to confront injustices in our societies today.

Justice is essential to the survival and flourishing of any civilisation. The words of God and His Messenger ﷺ remind us of the centrality of justice in our lives and our societies. Injustice (Zulum) is condemned repeatedly in the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ.

How are we to confront injustices in our personal lives, our communities and our societies? In an age of widespread injustices against the weak, the vulnerable and the dispossessed, how does Islam teach us to respond?

This unique commentary on forty ahadith narrated from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ explores Islamic teachings regarding social justice. It covers a wide variety of topics including:

• the environment
• racism
• family relations
• the rights of the elderly
• the rights of the disabled
• humanity
• and many more
