Forty Hadith by Imam Khomeini

A spiritual masterpiece on self-purification, ethics, and the inner journey to God.

Originally written in Persian in 1939 and now available in a carefully revised English edition, this book presents forty narrations from the Prophet (s) and the Ahl al-Bayt (as), each accompanied by deep reflection and commentary.
