40 Hadiths on Justice: A Prophetic Approach to Social Reform, by Omar Suleiman, MuslimCity Editions

Justice is essential to the survival and flourishing of any civilization. The words of God and His Messenger (saws) remind us of the centrality of justice in our lives and societies. Injustice is repeatedly condemned in the Qur'an and the teachings of the Prophet (sas). How should we deal with injustices in our personal lives, communities and societies? In a time of widespread injustice against the weak, vulnerable and deprived, how does Islam teach us to respond to oppression?

This unpublished collection of forty hadiths from the Prophet Muhammad (saws) and their commentary explores Islamic teachings about social justice. It covers a wide variety of topics ranging from the environment to racism, through family relations, the rights of the elderly, the disabled or humanity in general. This book will take you on a journey through the rich spiritual and legal heritage of Islam, and the guidance and methodology it offers us for confronting the injustices in our modern societies.
