Description
This book deals with a topic that is of immense importance in such a narcissistic post-modern materialistic society. We live in a consumer-based society which is spend-thrifty and truly in love with the world. The antidote to this is Qisar-ul-Amal- Reducing Long Hopes. Ibn Abi Dunya, like his contemporaries, Bukhari and Muslim and others, narrates each hadith with a continuous chain of narrators. This book can be an effective antidote to our materialistic lives.
