					<description><![CDATA[I recall reading the book Lives of Man by Imam al-Haddad. What sets this book apart is it describes stage by stage what each person will go through from life to death to afterlife to eternity.

					<description><![CDATA[Sayings of Hasan al-Basri We ordinary Muslims and students of Islamic knowledge are a world apart from the Sahaba. But between the Sahaba and us were wise men like Hasan al-Basri, who had guidance for us in new and challenging situations.
