From the Introduction:

ôIn the progress of discovering and exploring the profound utility of these Prophetic sayings, we discover many levels. They show the deep humanity, kindness, and beneficence of the Prophet at the time when there is a pressing need to correct not only the many distortions about him, whether motivated by ignorance or malice, but also the widespread misconceptions about the intrinsically beautiful Islam which he has revealed to us. We also find the the hadith eenunciate and clarify doctrine and offer commentary upon it. They offer guidance for the deepening of knowledge, the improvement of conduct and character, and the strengthening of faith. Finally and above all, they remain a luminous spiritual source of inspirational material for the transformation of Hearts, for without the heart no injunction can ever be fully internalized, lived and embodied.ö
