Wielding an authority second only to the Qur'an, Muhammad's hadith are cited by scholars as testimonial texts in a vast array of disciplines-including law, theology, metaphysics, poetry, grammar, history, and medicine-and are quoted by Muslims to one another in their daily lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAssembling Muhammad's words has been a major preoccupation for scholars throughout the fourteen centuries since his death, resulting in an abundance of compilations. Among the legally-grounded collections, which aimed to guide the community in its practice of religious law and ritual worship, one which stands out in particular is \u003ci\u003eLight in the Heavens\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eKitab al-Shihab\u003c\/i\u003e) by al-Qadi al-Quda'i, a Shafi'i judge in the Fatimid court in Egypt. The collection's overall conceptualization is distinctively ethical and pragmatic, and offers humanitarian lessons and practical insights with universal appeal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom North Africa to India, generations have used \u003ci\u003eLight in the Heavens\u003c\/i\u003e as a teaching text for children as well as adults, and many of its 1200 sayings are familiar to individuals of diverse denominations and ethnicities. For Muslims-who consider Muhammad's teachings the fount of wisdom and the beacon of guidance in all things, mundane and sublime-these sayings provide a direct window into the inspired vision of one of the most influential humans to have walked the Earth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA bilingual Arabic-English edition.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eal-Qāḍī al-Quḍāʿī (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAl-Qāḍī al-Quḍāʿī \u003c\/b\u003e(d. 454\/1062) was a Sunni jurist, a scholar of hadiths and history, and a senior government official of the Fatimid dynasty in Cairo. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTahera Qutbuddin (Edited and Translated by) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTahera Qutbuddin \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Arabic Literature at the University of Chicago.
