Riyad al-Saliheen ,رياض الصالحين,The Paradise of the Righteous is a collection of aḥadith by Imam Nawawi. It deals with every aspect of Islamic belief and conduct and covers a wide range of topics such as etiquette, manners, morals, supplications, beliefs, worship, human interactions, etc.The fact that the learned Imam sufficed on authentic aḥadith, not only testifies to his superior scholarship in the field, but allows the general reader to benefit from his vast collection.Every chapter commences with a title which provides the content and summary of the aḥadith that appear in that chapter. This is followed by relevant Qurʼanic verses which provide a valuable link between the words of Allah, and the words of His Prophet. It also serves to contextualize the aḥadith in the framework of Qurʼanic teachings. This systematic presentation is unique to Riyaḍ al-Ṣaliḥeen and makes it an indispensable resource for students, scholars, general readers and ordinary Muslims
