The Goodly Word - Al Kalim al Tayyib

The Prophet Said, "shall i not inform you of the best of your deeds and the most pure in the eye's of your lord and loftiest of them in merit, deeds that are better for you than the spending of gold and silver? It is the remembrance of Allah.'

Written by the renowned jurists of the fourteenth century, Taqi al-Din Ahmad Ibn Taymiyyah, The Goodly Word is one of the most referred to works on prayer and the merits of prayer. Exclusively based on what the Prophet Muhammad himself said and did, this work includes prayers for every moment of the Muslims life. The Goodly Word is here presented in a bi-lingual edition so that the exact prayers of the Prophet can be read in the original Arabic. The translation is by two distinguished scholars who have also translated An-Nawawi's Forty Hadith and Forty Hadith Qudsi both published by the Islamic Texts Society.
