Anecdotes, stories, tales, narratives, and traditions have existed amongst human beings since the dawn of time. They grow up with them, live by them, refer back to them, and are inspired by them. They are one of the best methods of initiating reflection and change in a person, and have been used in this way throughout history.
The Anecdotes for Reflection series of books has been in circulation amongst English speaking communities for many years now. The author, Sayyid Ali Akbar Sadaqat, has researched and gathered a collection of anecdotes under a hundred different headings to guide and inspire the reader to a better level of ethics, religiosity, and spirituality.
Each section references a verse from the Qur'an and a hadith of the Ahl al-Bayt, and contains anecdotes relating to that topic. The anecdotes themselves are short, simple, and easy to remember. They will make the reader laugh, cry, feel inspired, or utterly shocked.
The four previously-published volumes have now been included with the latest fifth volume, and are presented in this single volume publication.
Readers will find this an invaluable resource for themselves, their children, their students, and any audience they may be addressing.
