Selection of Hadith (Jawami' Ul-Akhbar)

Jawāmiʿ al-Akkbār, a short course introducing Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Saʿdī's compilation of essential hadith that every Muslim should learn and apply in their lives. The Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ was granted jawāmiʿ al-kalim, speech that is brief in wording yet profound in meaning, making the study of his words second only to the speech of Allah.

Taught by Shaykh Abdulwahid Stephenson, the course focuses on exploring these concise prophetic narrations, understanding their context and depth, and deriving key values for daily practice.

Students will learn:

• The concept of jawāmiʿ al-kalim and how prophetic words combine conciseness with abundant wisdom

• The fundamental hadith that encapsulate the core teachings of Islam

• Methods for applying the profound meanings of these hadith in daily life

• The importance of understanding the context and depth of the speech of the Prophet ﷺ

• Key values and actions derived from prophetic words that apply to modern-day challenges

An essential course for any Muslim seeking to connect with the concise and comprehensive guidance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
