Product Description
by Sheikh Sadooq (Author)
Al-Khisal is a collection of religious and moral precepts from reliable works on the subject compiled by Sheikh Sadooq. The present work that is Sheikh Al-Sadooq's Al-Khisal demonstrates the importance of numbers in the traditions. This has led to a valuable collection of traditions that is very interesting to study. Each part of this book contains several traditions on various issues. His main theme in this book is on ethics, manners and good characteristics. This book covers numbered characteristics. It starts with one and ends with one million. The traditions are presented with a complete record of transmission. This is the first book of this kind. Sheikh Sadooq himself presented his motivation for compiling Al-Khisal as follows, "I noticed that the previous Sheikhs and scholars have already compiled books on various aspects of knowledge. However, they have neglected to compile a book on numbers and good and bad characteristics. Since this topic is very useful for those who seek knowledge, I decided to compile this book in order to get closer to God, attain divine rewards, prosperity and the Almighty God's Mercy. I ask God not to turn my hopefulness into hopelessness, since He has power over all things." Al-Khisal is a great encyclopedia on Islamic knowledge, the forbidden and the allowed acts, historical topics, interpretations on the Holy Quran, philosophical points and political issues. It is one of the most valuable sources of traditions from the members of the Holy Household of the Prophet of God (MGB). It is an authentic source and many authoritative works on Shiite traditions such as Bihar Al-Anwar have cited it as a reference. We have tried to enrich it with many footnotes which explain the concepts and words presented in the text after doing a lot of research so that the interested readers can gain as much benefit from the book as possible.
