Description
This work focuses on al-Faḍāʾil (virtues) practiced by Muslims in daily life. The book is structured into ten primary chapters, each addressing distinct aspects of virtuous conduct and devotional practice. Among the themes covered are the significance of al-Adhkār (remembrances of Allah) following prayers, emphasizing their role in maintaining spiritual awareness after ritual worship; Aqwāl al-Ṣāliḥīn (the sayings of the righteous), presenting wisdom from pious figures; and the merits of reciting the Qur’an, detailing the spiritual rewards and transformative effects of engaging with scripture. This ten-part structure reveals a systematic approach to cataloging everyday virtues, bridging legal prescriptions with aspirational ethics accessible to lay practitioners. The manuscript measures 18.4 cm in length, 13.5 cm in width, and 3.4 cm in height, with a total 186 folios.
