In every age, humanity seeks guidance — a compass to navigate the complexities of life, morality, and faith. For Muslims, the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) remain that timeless compass. They are not merely historical records; they are living principles, relevant to every generation, every society, and every individual who seeks to walk the straight path.
Steps on the Right Path is a collection of selected sayings of the Prophet, drawn from authentic sources and carefully presented to highlight Islam’s moral and spiritual values. These teachings illuminate the way we relate to God, to one another, and to the world around us — shaping our actions, refining our character, and elevating our purpose.
The Hadith gathered here are accessible to both the student of Islam and the sincere seeker. They touch upon every facet of life: kindness, justice, patience, humility, and the pursuit of knowledge. Some are brief yet profound; others provide clear guidance for complex matters. Each one carries within it the wisdom of divine revelation as lived and exemplified by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
This book is not meant to be read once and set aside. Rather, it is an invitation — to reflect, to implement, and to embody the values contained within. Whether read individually or in study circles, these sayings open the heart to faith, discipline the soul to virtue, and draw the believer ever closer to the Creator.
May this work serve as a humble companion for all who strive to live by the light of prophetic guidance, and may it inspire steps that lead, by Allah’s mercy, to the ultimate destination — His pleasure and Paradise.
