The Virtues Of Sham

This is a comprehensive translation of the book Fada'il Ash-Sham, or The Virtues of Sham, by the great scholar Shaykh Imam Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Abd al-Hadi also famously known as Imam Ibn Abd al-Hadi. This is a short treatise that includes two main sections which discuss Ayat and Ahadith about the virtues of Sham, and Ahadith which mention the rise of Fitnah from the East.

In recent years, the people of Sham have been undergoing huge tribulations in which they are being oppressed. Women are being widowed, children are being slaughtered and weak old people are being dragged to the ground. We believe that this is a temporary test on the people of Sham, which will remove the corruption and create more Īmān among them

O Allah, save the oppressed among the believers and Muslims in the land of Sham, and in the east and west of the Earth, O Most Merciful grant them relief and a way out from oppression. Amin.
