Al-Muwatta (by Imam Malik)

Al-Muwatta, by Imam Malik, is a foundational Islamic legal text that compiles the Prophet Muhammad’s sayings, actions, and the practices of the early Muslim community in Medina. It serves as a guide to understanding Islamic law (fiqh) and moral conduct, emphasizing the importance of the traditions (Sunnah) and consensus of scholars. Organized systematically, it balances legal rulings with ethical teachings, providing Muslims with a practical reference for living according to Islamic principles. As one of the earliest and most respected collections, it influences Islamic jurisprudence and highlights the importance of community and tradition in shaping religious practice.
