Essence of Life, a translation of Ain Al-Hayat

The book begins with the biographical descriptions of some of the truest Companions of The Prophet (S), namely, Salman Farsi, Abu Dharr Ghifari and Miqdad Al-Aswad.

One chapter is devoted to the benefits of reciting The Quran as a whole and verses from various chapters, as well as supplications to be recited after each salaat and before going to bed. 

Negative behavioural traits that show the degree of one’s belief and faith are listed and discussed. 

These include, inter alia, lying, greed, backbiting, false allegations, pride etc. The book concludes with The Prophet’s Will concerning Abu Dharr, the most truthful person.
