'The example of believers in their reciprocal love and mercy for each other is like a human body; when one of its organs ails, the rest of the body remains awake and suffers from fever.'

This work is an exposition of the Noble Hadith mentioned above. Habib Muhammad al-Saqqaf frames a way of thinking about the Umma, as set out in the Hadith, and links the 'parts' of the metaphorical body, such as the head, heart and hormones, to the functions of sections of the umma, thus drawing out a wholistic view of the Umma of the Prophet s.a.w.
