About This Book

Understanding Ramadan gathers the ahadith of Sahih Al-Bukhari that relate to the month of fasting, with guided translations by Muhammad Muhsin Khan. Rather than a general essay on Ramadan, it lets readers go straight to the relevant narrations in the most widely trusted hadith collection.

Alongside the core sections on fasting and the night prayers of Ramadan, the book adds the material on the two Eid prayers and on Sadaqat al-Fitr, so the whole season, from the first fast to the Eid, is covered in one short volume.
