What do we truly owe the people in our lives? In Imam Sha'rani's Code of Companionship, the great 16th-century Egyptian scholar answers with his classic Adab al-Suhba — a treatise on the sacred art of friendship in Islam.
Presented in a beautiful bilingual edition with the full Arabic text alongside a flowing English translation by Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera, the book unfolds across four sections: keeping company for the sake of Allah, fulfilling the rights of our companions, the etiquette of the righteous, and the remembrance of Allah that binds hearts together.
Drawing on the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the wisdom of the early pious, this is a book to study slowly — with family, in a halaqah, or between teacher and student. A profound guide for anyone seeking to become a better friend, spouse, parent and neighbour.
